Nora Vasconcellos is known for bringing a distinctive style to everything she touches, and her new Guest Artist boards for Real were no exception.
The brand tapped Nora to hook up Jimmy Wilkins and Nicole Hause with new graphics for Spring '26 and recently rolled through her studio to get the story behind the designs.
Real gave us a straightforward breakdown of the day: "We had the honor of working with Nora as a guest artist on a board series for Jimmy and Nicole. She welcomed us into her studio, talked through her process, and then we went skating together." Word! What more needs to be said? Check it out:
Nora has been doodling and designing since she was a kid, so it only makes sense to see some of that work bless the boards of her friends. The graphics are super dope—very Nora—and were a major standout in Real's first Spring 2026 drop. Hearing how it all came together makes the whole thing that much cooler.
Watching Nora draw "Sporty Goth Nicole" was just the icing on the cake, right? Too funny. And a nice session at the new Landes park ties it all together perfectly. Boom!
Honestly, this is what it's all about. This is why skateboarding rules. Do whatever you want! Do art, go skate, hang with your friends, get stoked—you never know what can come from it all. At the very least, you'll be loaded with memories and moments that literally last a lifetime.
Look for Jimmy and Nicole's new boards at your local shop, set one up and get out there.
