Pink Moon – Painted Skate Deck Series

This is the first Kaba series ever done. Covid was just starting, stresses were eating at life. Each deck was hand-painted as just a way to decompress. Delivering Uber Eats in Colorado and living on the brother’s couch. These decks were hand-delivered between Uber Eats deliveries, sometimes as far as Fort Collins. Nick Drake’s music was the biggest inspiration at that time, and this series became the way of carrying his spirit into this series of Kaba's art. Below is the original description for this series.

the pink moon series was made to showcase Nick Drake's historic album. All proceeds from this series will go to place2be, a charity focusing on improving mental health in school children across the UK.

British songwriter Nick Drake passed away in 1974 at the age of 26. 25 years later, his three-album catalog was a mystery to many, save for small groups of record-store junkies who not only knew about the artist, but reveled in his “hidden gem” secrecy.
