Darkroom

Darkroom Skateboards is the personal skateboard brand of artist Don Pendleton, conceived as a creative lab where his hand‑drawn and experimental artwork directly shapes the brand’s aesthetic. It officially launched in 2018 alongside collaborators Mike Sinclair and Kevin Furtado, although Pendleton had explored the project in various forms as early as 2006 and again in 2012 before it became a full‑time venture in 2018.

Darkroom released skateboard decks, accessories and apparel featuring Pendleton’s distinctive graphics, and assembled a team including riders such as Little Gavin Bottger, John Clemmons, Cotie Robinson, Al Krohn, Austin Thongvivong and Alec Spinosi. The brand ceased operations in 2026, closing after years of independent activity.
