StrangeLove Taps Artist Don Pendleton For Bold New Board Series

Sean Cliver—legendary skate artist, wordsmith and man of people—has always had a way with words, so it's no surprise he hit us with a bold, witty description of the series on the StrangeLove site:

"Well, here we are. Who'da thunk? I mean, yes, at some point I figured it was inevitable that we would devolve into a dystopian landscape of sorts—you know, late-stage capitalism and the associated growing pains of gross economic disparity—but I was thinking something more along the lines of grinding up the downtrodden masses to be pressed into edible crackers used to feed the very same masses. Or maybe even that fantastic end to all humankind where Skynet decided it had outgrown its Cyberdine masters to go all genocidal on their asses. But no... it wasn't Harry Harrison, Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, or Philip K. Dick who foretold the end of our civilization, it was Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis and Butthead. All heavy metal delinquents aside, it was his 2006 film Idiocracy that really laid out the mind-numbingly bleak future that awaited us all. Lo and behold, after decades of reality television, internet algorithms, and a bizarre hollowing out of the basic educational system, we've finally hit intellectual rock bottom and boy oh boy have the chickens come home to roost… hence our ask of Don Pendleton to do a cutting reprisal of an old Alien Workshop series he did back in 2002 entitled 'Prophecy or Paranoia?' albeit under the new moniker of 'Prophecy or Idiocracy?'"

Each deck in the series is more of a visual statement than a typical skate graphic. Perfect for collectors who appreciate thought-provoking art and skateboarders who aren't afraid to let the bottom of their board do the talking. That said—these boards are definitely made to be skated, not just admired. Set one up and get rad!
