Sean Cliver:
| The Disposable Skateboard
Bible |
| With the release of Disposable ? A History of
Skateboard Art in 2004, author Sean Cliver made a brilliant attempt at
artfully cataloging every important skateboard deck ever released. In the
process, he created a classic, but was left feeling less than satisfied. Ever
the completist, the gaping omissions in the first book gnawed at him and drove
him to envision compiling the ultimate encyclopedia of Skateboard decks. |
| While Disposable ? A History of Skateboard
Art was beautiful, capturing the essence of the aesthetic, The
Disposable Skateboard Bible sets out to be the ultimate guide. The author?s
industry insider status (mesmerized by his first visit to a skate shop in 1986
he went all out and in 1989, landed his first job as a designer at
Powell-Peralta) allows him to guide readers through the culture and experience,
the art and the mania of the skate world with authority and expertise.
