The Deathwish Deck Brian O'Dwyer Puppet Master (8.0") is a standout board that combines raw skate style with haunting visual storytelling. The bottom graphic features a macabre puppet master—his gaunt figure looming above a line of dancing skeletons, suspended on strings like marionettes. Rendered in striking gold foil on a dark background, the design demands attention while echoing themes of control and chaos. The Deathwish logo is reimagined in an old-world script, tying the graphic together with gothic flair. The topside stain is a vibrant blue with a minimalist black Deathwish stamp, letting the bottom graphic speak for itself.
Measuring 8.0” x 31.5” with a 14.25” wheelbase, this deck delivers a versatile ride—ideal for all-around skating, from ledge tech to transition. Built on the same rugged construction that’s made Deathwish a fixture in hardcore skateboarding, this deck is shaped for performance without compromising that underground edge the brand is known for.
Brian O’Dwyer, a Deathwish pro, is known for his gritty, take-no-prisoners style. His skating blends powerful, precise control with fast-paced aggression—perfectly reflected in the dark, theatrical energy of this board’s graphic. Brian has steadily built a rep for throwing himself into big rails, crusty street spots, and unpredictable terrain, embodying the do-or-die mentality at the heart of Deathwish.
The graphic was created by Calvin Garcia, a rising artist known for blending dark symbolism with sharp line work. His art often carries themes of mortality and control, making him a perfect match for this deck’s tone. His involvement lends the deck a creative authenticity that speaks to both skaters and collectors.
Deathwish Skateboards has always leaned into the rebellious and unapologetic side of skateboarding. Born from the Baker Boys distribution family, Deathwish brought a harder, darker edge to the scene with their bold graphics, no-holds-barred skate style, and stacked roster of skaters who push limits. They’ve always backed individuality over industry norms—and it shows in every board they put out.
The Brian O'Dwyer Puppet Master deck isn’t just for skating—it's a full-blown visual statement from one of the rawest brands in the game.
