Mekanism vs Space Invader

When it comes to customized and limited-edition skateboards, Mekanism runs the block. We’ve seen some amazing deck-collaborations with the likes of Katharina Grosse, Zevs, John Maeda, and others. In their latest effort, Mekanism joined forces with the elusive Invader. This time Invader created three original decks, each covered by a mosaic made of real tiles, signed, titled and dated. The Matrix Deck (left) is classic, reminiscent of the space invader mosaics plastered by the artist around dozens of cities worldwide. The second deck, Above the city (middle) is made up of black and white micro-tiles. Finally, last but not least, my favorite deck in the series is the Rubik Deck (right), is composed of tiles taken from rubik’s cubes (details on far right). Check out more detailed shots and info on Mekanism’s website. Also, check out a great ‘making of’ shot after the jump– look at all those poor rubik’s cubes!
