For their 15th anniversary, Giant Robot asked artist James Jean to design a set of three decks. They are limited to only 150, and will be available at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. James Jean explains:

“Skating has always seemed to me a courageous activity, and what is courage but an absence of shame. Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden, pitiful in their nakedness, shameful in their new knowledge. However, the rise of science made man and nature transparent, naked again under a microscope and scalpel. We adorn ourselves with knowledge, hiding our private selves under a crimson web, until a bad fall shreds it to the bone.”
