Murakami & Mr. skateboard decks

Last week, skate/design boutique Supreme issued a series of skateboard decks designed by Japanese superflat art pioneer Takashi Murakami and his otaku-inspired assistant Mr. Murakami's designs are seen here at left and Mr.'s at right. Each deck is $68, but the Supreme online shop is temporarily closed so contact the stores directly for availability. Link (Thanks, Ryan Babnezien!)

Back in my day, we'd bolt wheels to the bottom of these things and ride around on 'em.

It's true!

Hell, when I was a kid, we had to ride these ten miles, uphill in the snow to get to school, where they would beat us!

If you look carefully (or visit the site), you can see that the skateboard farthest on the right depicts a young boy wearing a schoolgirl uniform and panties, who has a massive erection, and a young girl, half-naked girl, who is in the process of pulling off the boys panties.

That's Japan for you.

Yeah, Jesse, that last one seemed, I don't know, totally wrong to me!
