Skull of Fame Series

Girl Skateboards pays homage to the greats of rock n' roll with the Skull of Fame Series. This unique series of skateboard decks is designed by none other than Sean Cliver. After winning a design contest in 1986, Sean started working for Powell Peralta and never stopped designing skateboard graphics. In his long career, he created countless legendary graphics for brands like Blind, World Industries, Birdhouse and Girl. With his latest work for Girl, Sean pays tribute to some of the heroes of pop history by depicting them as skulls.

The series stands out not only because it is a bit macabre, but also because of the selection of artists. Where many Hall of Fame series stick to famous names like Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, Jim Morrison and Jimmy Hendrix, Girl chooses unknown names like Merle Haggard (the last rebel from country music), Rick James, Nikki Sixx (co-founder of Motley Crüe) and Eddie Van Halen. In addition to these striking choices, Girl chooses legit pop legends like David Bowie, Michael Jackson and John Lennon. With the Skull of Fame Series, Sean Cliver and Girl have delivered a great series of decks to hang on the wall or skate on.
