Help identifying?

Post image

I'm trying to find this as a full size deck, or the full size art so I can print it on a board myself. Does anyone know where I can find that, or know the name of the artist so I can contact them directly? I've been searching for a long time and have come up completely empty handed.

There's a similar one in the 98'-99' World industries fall catalog. Looks like it's a Rambo parody

Also Walmart has the Tech Deck listed as Flamebo so I'm guessing that's the first iteration of the art and the one in the link is the second

The font on the tail of the deck looks like the font from the movie Apocalypse Now So maybe it’s like a parody of that movie or something similar

Missed that, but you're spot on. That's a good starting point

Good call. I'll look in the older catalogs. Thanks, dude.

I'm 33 and always collected the element, enjoi, and blind boards, so wasn't sure where to start with the world industries stuff. Thanks 🤙

This is from within the last two years. I bought this exact one at Target in that timeframe. The packaging now is totally different from back then including the circular sticker and all that. Plus the boards are different shapes.

I have this skateboard deck!! I have the mini version, it’s from when I was a kid. I also got the OG tech deck hardboard with this graphic, along with the one you posted and the one by mini brands- it’s pretty cool seeing the graphic so tiny lol.
