Marc McKee and Sean Cliver Talk Skateboard Art

Opened this past December, "Censorship is Weak as F##k" was a collaborative retrospective featuring over 40 skateboard graphics designed by Marc McKee and Sean Cliver.

The show featured work the two have done for World Industries and its subsidiary brands from the formation of the company in the late 1980s to its mid-90s rise to industry dominance.

Censorship flyer

The collection of original skateboards showed in graphic detail how World Industries set itself apart from its competitors by using a totally uncensored approach in its graphic programme, featuring controversial subjects such as religion, pornography, gun control, sex, profanity, racism, drug use and violation of copyright law, all on the bottoms of its skateboards.

Check this footage of McKee and Cliver talking about some of their work as the show was happening.
