I’m doing an artist series skateboard with Untitled Skateboards.
It’s an honor to be able to do a collaboration with them.

I started out doing design work for Untitled years ago, and it’s slowly turned into what SecretPenguin is today.

From being on so many tours throughout the years and seeing how companies market/advertise to the youth, I made it my goal to create authentic work that wasn’t insulting to my friends and I.
SecretPenguin expanded from just me doing work for skateboard companies and skateshops to growing a great team and doing work for management + booking companies for athletes and tours, the NFL, the government, record labels, restaurants and more.

I really owe a lot to my friends at Untitled for being nice enough (dumb enough?) to trust me in the beginning.
Thanks Untitled!

This board is dedicated to my daughter, Olive Jane, who brings me hope + joy everyday.

SecretPenguin and Untitled Skateboards Dave Nelson Artist Series - Tail CloseupThe board is based off Genesis 8:11, which is a message about hope. My daughter brings me hope and joy everyday, and I thought it was fitting.

SecretPenguin and Untitled Skateboards Dave Nelson Artist SeriesThe boards will be available at local skateshops around the world. If yours doesn’t carry them, you can always order them online from Untitled’s store. They should be in stock by mid/late April 2011.
