For its unique project of 2010, Mekanism gave carte blanche to German artist Anselm Reyle.

“For his project for Mekanism, Anselm Reyle applied several thin layers of spray painted neon pink and added two different mudstone coloured paints before the boards were covered with a two-component lacquer, giving a shiny surface. In these works the boundary between the slickness of the neon pink and the roughness of the brown paints – resembling mud, sand or dirt – is blurred by the lacquer. Glossy and matt, fl ashy and dark, slick and rough are now inextricably intertwined. But beyond the contradiction of colours and textures, the artist is contrasting our prospect of neon pink as a colour used for posters of the punk and the psychedelic scene in the 70s and 80s with the mudstone colours applied in post war gestural abstract paintings, notably in Abstract Expressionism and Art Informel.”

The Anselm Reyle deck series consists of 50 skateboards, each signed and numbered by the artist.

HUF worked with photographer Dennis McGrath on a sexually explicit series of tees and skate decks.

“Dennis McGrath was born in New Jersey in 1969. He became interested in photography when he started skateboarding in the mid-80’s. In 1994 he took a more serious interest while studying at the San Francisco Art Institute. From 1995-2005 he shot for most major skateboard publications worldwide. In 2005 Dennis stepped away from photographing skateboarding to focus on more personal documentary type work. He is interested in story-telling through the photographic process with the use of text and ephemera to help tell a story. His work was shown in the Bay Area Now 4 show at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2005 as part of the Hamburger Eyes exhibit. He lives and works in San Francisco and Los Angeles.”

Huf recruited five professional skateboard legends, who are also talented artists, to create a summer skateboard series. Lance Mountain, Nata Kaupas, Tommy Guerrero, Steve Olson and Mark Gonzales were each given carte blanche (the only parameters given were that the artwork be in black and white) to create their own Huf deck, right down to the shape. Decks were produced in limited runs of 100 to 150, with each board being hand-screened, laser numbered and laser signed. A matching t-shirt featuring all five signatures was also released.
