YAIA

Skateboards

Over the years, we created a vast body of skateboard graphics for brands like Santa Cruz, Primitive, 5Boro, Crime and Cleaver Skateboards. What began as illustration work evolved into a personal language, where the board is no longer just a surface, but a canvas charged with emotion and craft. From the early Crime series to the cinematic Exploit decks for Primitive and the many Santa Cruz editions, every piece reflects a consisten growth in the medium.

Compiled in The Skate Art of Yaia — a 200-page hardcover retrospective — this collection documents more than a decade of sketches, finished boards, and behind-the-scenes process. It’s a chronicle of persistence and self-expression, built from Rosario and released to the world. In our hands, skateboard graphics become more than prints on wood, this decks rolling through the streets carry a piece of a culture in the form of art.
