Dogtown Skates Artium Design Bulldog Art Skateboard Deck

This is a contemporary professional-grade skateboard deck manufactured by Dogtown Skates, specifically featuring the 'Artium Design' and 'Bulldog Art' graphics. The deck is constructed from multiple layers of pressed maple wood with a natural finish, showcasing a prominent grain. The central graphic is a high-quality screen print featuring a winged cross motif with a sun-like yellow aura. Text banners within the graphic read 'Bulldog Art' at the top and 'Artium Design Skates' in the center and bottom. The color palette of the artwork includes vibrant shades of teal, orange, yellow, and black outlines. The deck features a classic directional shape with a distinct kicktail and a rounded nose. It is currently in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, remaining sealed in its original factory shrink-wrap. A retail barcode sticker is still affixed to the upper portion of the wrap near the nose. There are no visible signs of wear, surface scratches, or impact damage to the wood, and the drill holes for truck mounting remain clean and unused. The craftsmanship is typical of high-end skate industry reissues or artist-series boards, emphasizing graphic longevity and structural rigidity. The aesthetic style pays homage to 1970s and 80s surf/skate culture associated with the Z-Boys and Wes Humpston's iconic 'Bulldog' artwork.
