Description: Original Todd Francis Art Real Skateboards Ben Liversedge signed board graphic graphic FRAMED Original Ben Liversedge board graphic sharpie drawing for the re-make of the classic Hanging Klansman skate deck created by Jim Thiebaud for Real Skateboards with original artwork by Natas Kaupas. This is a one of a kind piece of skateboard histor yand would make a very nice addition to a skateboard collection. Revised!!!I am revising the description because I am getting way more interest and questions that I anticipated.This is the ORIGINAL drawing by Todd Francis for Ben Liversedge when Real (Deluxe) wanted to make another version of this idea. IT IS NOT A PRINT, It is the actual drawing made and used to make the board. The first time Real used this graphic was for Jim Thiebaud and drawn by Natas Kaupas in 1990. This was also done by Real for Ben Liversedge and drawn by Todd Francis. The drawing Natas did is part of the permanent collection at The Smithsonian, the one Todd did is right here. Reach out with any questions, I don't mind answering what I know and learning more if you know. By typing all of this out I am talking myself out of selling it on eBay... When this deck came out I was running a shop called Small Empire in New Jersey and a we had it displayed in the front window our first week open. The area of Northwest Jersey was a little redneck and some bikers came in, grabbed the board, and yelled at me to tell them who was responsible for it. I told them Deluxe in SF and the guy threw the board at my face. The board, not the original drawing used for the board graphic that I purchased many years later and bought it SF that you see here. The one I am stupidly selling because I'd rather have this piece of history hanging proudly in someone's home and not collecting dust in my closet. I will 99% regret selling this. GOOD LUCK!signed I purchased this in 2008 at 3131 Gallery (Yong-Ki Chang's) in San Francisco. I have the proof of authenticity and purchase from 3131 Gallery 34x16 framed. Small nick on the frame, see photo. Will be packaged and shipped by a professional art shipping service. Local pick-up available in the NYC area. Thanks for looking.
