Custom 'IMAMESS' Hand-Painted Skateboard Deck Art with Magnetic Eyes

This is a unique, vertically oriented piece of contemporary street art created from a modified skateboard deck. The piece features a stylized, vibrant pink character with exaggerated facial features, including a long, melting beard and large, uneven white teeth. A notable mechanical feature is the inclusion of magnetic components for the eyes, allowing for interactive repositioning of the purple pupils to change the character's expression. The character wears a multi-colored trucker-style hat in teal, tan, and yellow, which serves as the top of the piece. On the hat, a distinct graffiti-style tag reads 'IMAMESS' with the date '2014' rendered in yellow and black. Physically, the piece appears to be hand-painted with acrylic or enamel paints, showing clean black outlines characteristic of pop-surrealism or lowbrow art. The edges of the deck have been custom-cut to follow the silhouette of the artwork, particularly around the hat brim and the jagged teeth at the bottom. Small black cord or rope segments are attached to represent hair or dreadlocks. The condition appears excellent with no significant scuffing, though minor paint texture variations suggest a hand-crafted process. The craftsmanship is high, exhibiting precise line work and bold, saturated colors indicative of a skilled urban artist.
