Deck'On Triptych
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Deck'On Triptych, from 2012, is a set of three skate decks designed by Cope2, limited to 30 copies and spanning roughly 60 x 80 cm when displayed together. Hand-signed in the bottom right and laser-etched with the edition number 1 to 30, it merges skate culture with graffiti art in a functional, wall-ready object.

Why It Matters
Skate decks are a natural crossover surface for graffiti, and a triptych format lets Cope2's lettering flow across three boards as a single composition. The union of skate and street cultures broadens appeal beyond print collectors, while the laser-etched numbering adds a distinctive authentication touch.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 30 three-deck sets is genuinely scarce, and the object format sets it apart from flat prints. Completeness matters: all three decks must be present and matched. Confirm the hand signature and laser-etched number, and assess deck condition, since these are physical objects prone to handling wear.
Historical Context
Produced in 2012, the triptych reflects the long-standing overlap between skateboarding and graffiti as intertwined urban subcultures. Cope2's move onto decks mirrors how street artists expanded into functional collectibles, extending their imagery from walls to boards designed for both riding and display.
