Note:
Clown Skateboards were a part of Banksy's early career hosting his Rivington Street Exhibition to launch the book 'Banging My Head Against A Brick Wall'. Banksy went on to design the Clown Skateboards logo and produced two further designs for their first range of boards.

In 2000 Clown launched the three Banksy designs as a limited run of 100 skate decks, they weren't the most popular drop at the time and the slow demand meant that the full edition was never completed. In 2020 they decided to complete the run of 100 boards using the original acetates.
