Damien Hirst’s second collaboration with Supreme from 2009

English artist Damien Hirst signed on with Supreme to release two original skate deck lines in 2009, and the decks from the second collab are resurfacing as Hirst’s company Other Criteria will be selling them online starting July 12th at 10am London time. Reportedly, Hirst kept the 200 AP’s he received from the 2009 release, and will be selling 40 signed decks for $1945 and 160 unsigned decks for $778. I don’t know about you, but I won’t be rushing to shell out my paycheck in support of this launch. Frankly, the designs never struck me as overwhelmingly original, and after his first collab (pictured below) it leaves much to be desired. I won’t write you off just yet Hirst, but I’m just not too excited about this one.

Check out the first 2009 release from Supreme x Hirst:

Animal reports this sneaky news – “Remember East London graffiti kid CARTRAIN who stole pencils from Damien Hirst’s Pharmacy at the Tate as revenge for Hirst the Ripper seizing his diamond skull collage work? Recently, CARTRAIN and VAGABOND hit the museum again and pulled a Banksy-style ‘hang-and-run.’”

“For the Love of God is comprised of 16 pages with text by Damien Hirst himself. The art is in the printing, with tonal lettering making the discovery of Hirst’s words a rewarding challenge. The book comes with soft cover and a three stitched spine.”
