Skateboarding is a pretty new sport with a small community of skaters in the different states of Malaysia. As it is still a male-majority sport, the designs on some of the skateboard decks are quit intense. With flames, skeletons or just plain colour.
However, a teen by the name of Aniqah Shahmi felt like she needed something closer to home, so she painted her very own batik skateboard deck.
Aniqah, said that she loves batik and just thinking about the creative design makes her feel happy. As it was something that evoked a sense of joy in her, she wanted to share that with everyone through her art. Up until now, she has painted three batik skateboards.
At first, it took a week for Aniqah to finish a deck but since she has improved and learned from trial and error, it now only takes her four days to complete a deck. The deck is also for sale, however, Aniqah recommends it as more of an art decor piece.
