Title: Money never sleeps skateboard
Technique: high gloss resin
Size: 83×22 cm
This ain’t your average deck. The “Money Never Sleeps” skateboard is a limited-edition art piece by Roy van der Laars that captures the frenetic energy of the financial world with a touch of streetwise rebellion.
Measuring 83 x 22 cm, the board features a bold graphic. A sly robber, mid-grind, takes center stage, their silhouette a stark contrast against the crisp background. A prominent Supreme logo – a coveted mark in the streetwear scene – adds a layer of counterculture coolness.
But the true message lies in the inscription emblazoned across the deck: “Money Never Sleeps.” This ubiquitous saying, often used in finance, takes on a new meaning here. It’s not just a reminder of the 24/7 nature of global markets; it’s a call to action. Are you grinding for your piece of the pie, or just getting pushed around?
The “Money Never Sleeps” skateboard is more than just a collector’s item. It’s a conversation starter, a piece of art that challenges you to consider your relationship with money and hustle. Is it a relentless master, or a tool to be ridden? - About the artist
Roy had worked as a graphic designer for many years, but eventually he discovered his passion for modern art. He decided to fully focus on this style and began to delve into it. Because of his experience as a graphic designer, he already had a lot of knowledge about working with different materials and techniques, but now he wanted to apply this to modern art.
To begin his creative process, Roy always started his work in Photoshop. He used this program to shape his ideas and determine the composition of his works. Then, he set to work choosing the right materials and colors to bring his designs to life. It was important to him to find the right balance between color, shape, and texture.
Roy found inspiration in nature and often traveled to the most beautiful places in the world to create new designs. He took his laptop everywhere and worked on his artwork on location. He loved experimenting with different materials, such as paint, wood, metal, and epoxy. By combining these materials, he created unique works of art that reflected his own style.
Roy regularly exhibited his work in galleries and participated in art fairs around the world. He loved sharing his work with others and getting feedback from people who admired his artwork. He hoped his work would inspire others and show them how much beauty there is in the world.
All in all, Roy was very happy to have discovered his passion for modern art. It enabled him to unleash his creativity and develop his own style. He looked forward to creating many more new designs and continuing to grow as an artist.
