Nate Harris’s graphic Spectrum skateboards are nostalgic and brilliant
While others are investing in the digial technology Nate Harris brings his talent in full bloom with nostalgia and old-school inspiration. The Philadelphia based visual artist who has previously worked with Target, Saxbys, and Lotus incorporates, used skateboards into the printing technique for Spectrum.
"There wasn't one specific influence for this graphic," he explains to the Creators. "It was more about the actual process. It's conceptual and ties back to skateboarding. I hope to have struck a good balance between having it be conceptual but not overly so."
Inspired by “the type-heavy, iconic graphics of Zero Skateboards, who often opted for simple black-and-red colorways, as well as the design-heavy boards from Habitat, which often employed repeating patterns and iconography, rather than logo or character-based themes” Harris’s designs are a skateboarder’s object of desire.
