hey dude do you do snowboards?
Yes Ive had this account for a while years ago while I was experimenting with Flash, but try as I might I sucked and my version was a trial so I had no choice but to give up! Then I saw an art community I figgered I may as well give it another try!

Actually, I just now had a thought:
Grinding.
I mean, yeah, it doesn't *quite* account for skateboards not being seen as art (although I'm not sure that's always the case), but it might explain the mentality. When you think "skateboards," you think "skateboarding," right? Which in turn makes you think of "skating tricks," and what is a major part or skateboard tricks? Grinding.
Right. Along. The bottom. Of the board.
Think about one of your boards doing that, for a moment, because maybe that's what they're doing too. Just for a moment, even though you know you wouldn't do that, the investment value seems to go down.
When a non-art-object is made into art, it's usually either disabled in some way or made specifically to endure usage, but that's a little difficult in this case, isn't it? I mean, yeah, you'd have to be either an idiot or really mean-spirited to intentionally stick wheels on one of these and find an unpainted chunk of metal to scrape it on, but there's not a lot stopping them from doing just that.
Anyway, my point is, I, you, and they know that wouldn't be the reality, but maybe it's the thought that counts, so to speak.
Additionally, and this might actually be a better explanation (which I thought of typing the one above - funny how that works), you need to remember that the "I don't skate" explanation DOES have some validity to it. When you draw on a specific material or object, you don't just display the image - you *can't.* No matter how hard you try, the object used transfers some of its meaning to the image. If something is drawn on a skateboard, the work as a whole will have a degree of "skate-ness," and if the person in question isn't fond of skating, that's going to be a factor in whether or not they want it. That is, it's not that they think skateboards AREN'T art, it's just that they just don't WANT *skateboard* art. Maybe most MLP fans aren't into skating. It's possible. I might suggest that, instead of trying to find bronies/furries who are skateboarders, try finding skateboarders who are bronies/furries. I'd also suggest taking commissions. People love feeling like they had a hand in something's creation.
No condescension intended or anything, especially if I've said anything you've already thought of, and sorry if this isn't an issue anymore (or happy, if it worked out well). Just pitching in my two cents.
Kill yourself.
This board is a work of art. But, you said the "sales" of the skateboards, do you mean your selling it? Because I would buy it. It's a awesome board, meant for art, right? I would use it as nature intended... as something I would barely grind on, a board of art... truly, you have quite some talent. Bravo.

If you don't like skateboards, your pretty much no kind of skater. Now, some people would just hang it on their wall, never to use it. And anyone, if they are selling a custom board, you would make copies. You can have it sent to a professional to copy the board, or you can make other copies.
