Drawing Boards Skateboards
Drawing Boards Skateboards is a UK skate brand founded by artist and skater Adam McEvoy in 2005, rooted in the South Coast skate scene and driven by creativity, culture, and original design. The brand blends skateboarding with visual art, treating each deck as a canvas for hand-drawn, highly detailed graphics that often carry humour, education, and cultural references. With a skater-owned ethos and a focus on originality, quality, and community, Drawing Boards creates boards that are both functional for skating and visually striking enough to be hung on your wall.
Drawing Boards Skateboards is a UK skate brand founded by artist and skater Adam McEvoy in 2005, rooted in the South Coast skate scene and driven by creativity, culture, and original design. Blending skateboarding with visual art, Drawing Boards treats every deck as a canvas.
Each graphic is hand-drawn and meticulously detailed, often infused with humour, storytelling, education, and cultural references that invite skaters and viewers alike to look closer and think deeper. Rather than following trends, the brand prioritises originality and meaningful design, ensuring that every board carries its own personality and purpose.
Alongside skateboards, Adam has also released a series of books that further explore the creative world of Drawing Boards. One of these, 101 Uses for a Skateboard, is a playful, comic book style piece that showcases humour and imagination through illustrated ideas. Another is a comprehensive collection of Drawing Boards graphics, bringing together the brand’s artwork while revealing the stories, concepts, and inspirations behind each design.
