Skateboarding
→ meets graphic design.
Erik Ziegler blends decades of skate culture with clean, bold visual storytelling — through prints, tees and limited visuals crafted to live surrounded by skateboarding
Erik Ziegler is a skate graphic artist, designer, and lifelong skateboarder based in Madrid. He’s the creator of Nosebonk – a platform that merges the visual culture of skateboarding with the clarity of graphic design, offering limited-edition prints, tees, and sticker work rooted in skate life. Erik’s work draws on a deep love for Swiss and Bauhaus design, decades of skateboarding, and a DIY mindset forged in the streets. He believes that both skateboarding and design are crafts of movement, precision, and freedom.
Who is Erik Ziegler?
After two decades leading UX design teams across Europe, Spanish-German designer Erik Ziegler returned to his creative roots: skateboarding, illustration, and visual design. He launched Nosebonk as a personal outlet to explore skate culture through design, storytelling, and carefully crafted releases. His work has been featured in Skate & Art (Lannoo, 2024), a curated book showcasing 23 European skate artists. He has also designed skateboards for Framework Skateboards and other independent brands.
Why Skate Graphic Art?
Skateboarding is more than movement — it’s a visual language. From boards to zines to street spots, skate culture has always been bound to creativity, illustration, and bold visual identity. I grew up obsessed with skate graphics. Later, I discovered graphic design — and both quickly became part of who I am. They share the same DNA: creativity, trial and error, and a deep level of craft.
