Who misses Madsteez graphics on Armadas?

Armada has always had super dope graphics. I always thought that the graphics by Madsteez for the AR5 and AR6 were always the coolest graphics around and I kind of miss seeing them this year. The new AR6 graphics are still cool though! What does everyone else think? Was it time for a change or do you miss the Madsteez? On another note, I'm really liking the graphics on my JJs this year!

I like the new AR6 more than any other ar6 previous. Aestheticly speaking.

madsteez always has the illest work. i always wanted either his snoop dog or peter tosh artwork to go on some skis. on his website it looks like hes got a couple snowboard lines out with Capita.

Yup. Those graphics were killer. The new ones are decent, but they took me a while to get to appreciate. I loved Madsteeze's work right away.

Madsteez is sick, but I like Blain Fontana's work the most:

I like the current generation AR6 better than last years Madsteez AR6. But every AR5 and AR6 after the orange builing generation is still sicker than this years.

Fontana's artwork is sick too! I honestly think every Armada ski has such incredible graphics. Whether it's subtle like the T-Halls or Pipe Cleaners or crazy like Madsteez's designs or the new JJs, they're all amazing.
A bit off the topic of Armada but I also like Abe K's work for 4FRNT with the MSPs. The EHPs Pilsner style graphics are sick too. Definitely shows the Hjorleifson is an Alberta boy like myself.

I love my 07-08 AR6s. Where else am I gonna get a fishman on my skis?  Madsteez is such a crazy cool guy and is work is baller as hell.  I hope armada does some more work with him eventually, or when it comes time for me to get some new skis.
