Norse Deck

While visiting Norse City Boardroom, our local skate shop in Poulsbo, Washington, the owner Kevin O’Brien and I, with a few of his employees, discussed the possibility of a new Poulsbo shop board.

The Statue

This Viking is actually modeled after the statue at the entrance of town that is likely ten feet high! Here he is  painted in a mashup of scratch board ink and comic styles with acrylic and brush. From his horned cap to scale armored waist, this viking was recreated, sword included, and a stoic grin (that’s his style). The local statue frequently gets a Santa hat during the holidays!

The Shop

The Norse City Boardroom opened three years ago in a quiet but booming Nordic-heritage village here,  participates in community events, and is a popular hangout on the south end of this small town. Poulsbo  hopes to be getting a new skate park soon!

Thank you, Kevin, for brainstorming with me on this one. We hope it brings a stoic grin to skaters and customers alike.
