Background on Creature Skateboards:
- Russ Pope: The founder of Creature Skateboards, Pope started the brand in 1994, infusing it with a unique horror-punk aesthetic that quickly set it apart in the skateboarding world. Although his tenure with the brand was short-lived, Pope laid the groundwork for Creature's distinctive identity.
- Lee Charron and Darren "The Vert Vampire" Navarrette: After a hiatus, the brand was revived by Lee Charron and Navarrette, who brought a new energy and focus to Creature. Darren Navarrette, known as "The Vert Vampire," is a legendary vert skater with a dark and theatrical style that perfectly aligns with the brand's image.
