wildetect lion head skateboard deck design

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

VNLT as a wildetect creative fervently and constantly working on output of concept designs. Creating a portfolio of evidence is the only pursuit that proves or disapproves 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 not enough days, time to create left. So ive been in super over drive design mode ever since. These wildetect designs are 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 not for you. If you allow dom people into the inner sanctuary of your artistic process. They will destroy your inner rooms of tranquility and ruin your peace. Why you say? The reality is why not!! There are far too many more artistic 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 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. My experimentation's of wild form and shape in other design disciplines is part of  a learning process. And  this design  journey is mine - and when its done - i hope ive said everything i wanted to say to myself first.  And if i havent - maybe someone else will carry on their own interpretive conversation of the subject. Design for human sake. Because we got a whole lot of algorythmic logerithmic design jargon coming down the road to bury us. 

Talking to designers across all disciplines - the only thing that counts is evidrnce of a body of original work. This is what the wildetects are passionately putting 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 work. Now im not foolish to ever believe my wildetect output will  be liked by you. But nobody can really argue about the synaptic shear volume of wildetect work. Across several multi discipline arenas. Thats raw human driven thought design ideas, thats exciting for us. Not so exciting for the design creative insanctuary thought destroyers. But who cares about them, right.
