eSTRELLA
My name is Damian Estrella and I'm a skateboard designer, artist, and skateboarder.
I graduated from Sonoma State University with a bachelors in Studio Arts and Museum Studies. I started taking custom requests during covid and my love for creating skateboard designs grew.
My designs stray away from the mundane world and are a twist on the ordinary. I am inspired by street style graffiti artwork and I love using bright colors and thick black lines.
I started to experiment with reproducing my painted design digitally and making skateboard decals. This allowed me to create more of the same design.
With trial and error this had really exciting results.

My latest experiment has been creating tiny decals of my work on mini skateboards. These are more for fun but I think its so amazing to see my large works so miniature size.

I also draw digital designs to create art decals, which is a more affordable option of my works instead of an original paintings.

I create what makes me happy, my artwork does not necessarily have a deeper meaning other than I wanted to draw that specific thing at that specific time. The meaning of my artwork is the sole fact that creating art makes me feel happy.
If you would like to request a custom skateboard, whether it be a digital decal or a painted design, you can do so here!
