Wildetecture lion head skateboard deck design

The concept of creating sculpture into functionality is nothing new, trying to explore how far to push a skateboard artistic style deck into the realm of wild artistic sculpture isnt either. But im very sure this wildetecture lion head skateboard deck creation is something not yet seen in either discipline.  Abit like the wildetecture viking Norse longboat table.

VNLT as a wildetecture creative fervently and constantly working on output of concept designs. Creating a portfolio of evidence is the only pursuit that proves or disproves ability. Design is, as design does,  creative endeavor is, as it does. Both being a "doing" exercise with an outcome based objective.

It sounds really crazy i suppose - One of the most  design "now" awakening experiences for me was when i had a rather large skin cancer hitchhiker removed from my back. (all my surfing days coming back to haunt me)  I  suddenly realized there is not enough days or time to create left. So ive been in super over drive design mode ever since. These wildetecture design is therapeutic for me - So they dont have to make sense to you. And you dont have to like them, infact id rather you didnt. Told you its abit crazy. Design for me is not necessarily for you. If you allow Dom people into the inner sanctuary of your own artistic process. They will destroy your inner rooms of tranquility, ruin your peace and throw rubbish arounc your inner sanctum. Why you say? The reality is why not!! There are far too many more artistic creative mojo destroyers than there are creatives on this planet. With the advent of AI, human input creativity is set to decline drastically. Just my opinion, as design for me is a practiced skill not a given over to a fata harvisting tool expression of laziness. If your not practicing art, design your sleeping. 

On another design note - Architecture is such a stoic discipline - i like to think wildetecture is a reactive response to this sombre, serious mindset. Wildetectures experimentation's of wild form and shape in other design disciplines is part of  a learning process. And  this design  journey is ours - and when its done - we hope weve said everything we wanted to say. Firstly to oneself. And if we havent - maybe someone else will carry on their own interpretive conversation of the subject. Design for simple human sake. Because we got a whole lot of algorythmic logerithmic design jargon coming down the road to completely bury us. 

Talking to designers across all disciplines - the only thing that counts is evidence of a body of original creative work. This is what wildetecture is passionately trying to put together. Talking to many designers one also finds that talking doesnt really count, if one is not "doing" design architecture , art , interior , sculpture , fashion, product design - The only indication of any sort of ability is output, output and more output of artistic work. Now im not foolish to ever believe wildetectures output will  be liked by all of you. But nobody can really argue about the synaptic shear volume of wildetecture work. Across several multi discipline arenas. Thats raw human driven thought design ideas, thats exciting for us. Not so exciting for the design creative in-sanctuary thought destroyers. But who cares about them, right. They hoing to buzz kill your mojo regardless of the work. Its why they write spit over your hard worked graffiti expressions.
