Over the past five years the 7 Ply project has sought to expose skating art and culture to the citizens of Greece, the center ring of which is a skateboard deck art show. Now, perhaps it's the lozenge shape of the decks, but shows such as this have proven to be a hard pill to swallow. Inevitably, this type of event leads to obnoxious design motifs.  Sailor Jerry, graffiti lettering, and various segments of human anatomy propagate for the sake of "old school".

The refined submissions of Greece Is for Lovers, however, beg the question...

"How old school can you get?"
