Custom Skateboard Graphics & Deck Design

by Nope Design

At Nope Design, skateboards aren’t just decks — they’re canvases for expression. We create custom skateboard graphics that merge skate culture, bold illustration, and storytelling. From one-off custom designs to limited-edition skateboard decks, our artwork is made to stand out on the street, in collections, or under your feet. Whether you’re a brand, skater, or collector, we design decks built with attitude.

Featured Skateboard Graphics

From gritty graffiti-inspired decks to bold limited-edition runs, Nope Design creates skateboard graphics that refuse to blend in. Each deck is treated like a canvas — bringing together custom illustration, skate culture, and storytelling details. Below is a selection of our most popular designs, showing how custom skateboard graphics can transform a standard deck into collectible artwork for skaters, brands, and collectors alike.

Throw Up City – Limited Edition Skateboard Deck Collection

The Throw Up City collection celebrates raw graffiti energy translated onto limited edition skateboard decks. Each design reimagines urban railcars covered in tags and throw-ups, turning a skateboard into a moving canvas. With only 12 decks available in each run, every board in this collection blends street art culture with bold custom skateboard graphics built to stand out.

Created as a collaboration with Jay’s Dad’s Granola, this collection of custom skateboard decks brings skate culture into the heart of the brand. Each deck was designed with bold illustration and storytelling details, making them as much art pieces as functional boards. Proudly hung inside the Jay’s Dad’s Granola store, these decks showcase how design can bridge food, community, and skate culture.

Not every design makes it to production, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a spotlight. The Cat’s Ass is a pair of unreleased skateboard deck designs that capture Nope Design’s playful, rebellious streak. These boards show the experimental side of our process — bold concepts, attitude-packed artwork, and ideas that push the boundaries of custom skateboard graphics.

Why Choose Custom Skateboard Graphics?

Custom skateboard graphics give your deck more than just a look — they give it meaning. Instead of blending in with factory-produced boards, a custom design lets you showcase your story, brand identity, or personal style. At Nope Design, we create skateboard deck artwork that connects with culture, turns heads in the skatepark, and holds value as a limited-edition collector piece. Whether it’s for riding or displaying, custom graphics make every deck unforgettable.

Oh Hell No Kitty –Skateboard Deck

Oh Hell No Kitty is the deck that refuses to play nice. A limited edition skateboard deck design that takes a sugary icon and rips it wide open, it’s become one of my most talked-about graphics — and for good reason. This board has already earned cult status among skaters and collectors. Bold, original, and unapologetically twisted, it’s everything Nope Design stands for.

How the Skateboard Deck Design Process Works

Every board starts with an idea — and at Nope Design, we turn that spark into a finished piece of art. Our skateboard deck design process is built to be simple and collaborative: you share your concept or inspiration, and we shape it into bold, original artwork. From first sketches to final print-ready files, each step is designed to make sure your custom skateboard graphics are production-ready, whether you’re printing a one-off deck or launching a full collection.

From Idea to Finished Deck

Every skateboard starts as a spark of an idea. Here’s how Nope Design takes that concept and turns it into bold, finished artwork — ready to print, ride, or collect.
