Anyone remember Color Skateboards from 1993? Very short run, started by Mark Oblow and Kris Markovich in '93, and only lasted that one year? Riders were Kris Markovich, Jeremy Wray, Kyle Yanagimoto, Quy Nguyen, Jason Dill, Caine Gayle, Nate Lyons, and Mike Santarosa.

Anyone collect these? I may have some goodies for you....

I love Color, mainly because I was always a huge Markovich fan and I had and still have the video, which is awesome.

Let's see what you have please.

I still have the Color video.

Chris Markovich, Jeremy Wray and Mike Santarossa stood at my place for two days around that time when Color was in business!

These are a few copies of the original proofs. These are for Jeremy Wray, Caine Gayle, and Mike Santarosa decks. I can probably get several others too, and even some of the original screen print templates.

I now have the actual felt heat transfers and even some of the original artwork and screen print templates for many of the Color decks. These are ready to be printed .

Love the two Markovichs. The Wrays are pretty cool too.

super cool SantaCruzDude 👍

I definitely remember and have been looking for Color stuff over the years. Haven't seen a good pic of that Markovich Animal Chain graphic since our local shop had the actual deck back in 1993. Rad!!!

Here's the 4 I have managed to get hold of over the years.

That's a quite impressive spread, darukuss!

Very impressive! These boards are extremely hard to find, and were limited to just the one year. I happen to think some of the graphics were ahead of their time, so too bad they crashed so quickly. I still have many of the original film positives, which were used to create the screens for the printed decks. So tempted to set up some screens and run some decks... But at this point, it's just artwork .









And original airbrushed artwork:
