Anyone who says that skaters will not be interested in a deck for graphics forgets to take into account how many young kids are picking up skating.
Not everybody is PRO.
It's not just the PROS who have access to a CCS Catalog.When I first started, that's ALL that was important to me. And at that age, I wouldn't think anything of being called a beginner, because that's exactly what I was.
BUILD, if your worried about people (skaters), not purchasing them, all you really have to do is find a company (enjoi, birdhouse, girl, chocolate etc.) that develops boards skaters want to skate.
Work with a company who makes top quality decks then you have both qualities and both consumer markets.

build, what exactly would you consider "not the usual skateboard designs"? what hasn't been tried? have you thought about different/unusual materials? clear plexi would be happenin', until used anyway.

If you want skaters to buy them to actually ride them you will have to sell them at a regular board price. It would be stupid to pay $100 for a signed limited graphic that would be destroyed in a day.

if you're hanging a skateboard deck on the wall, its not a skateboard.
sorry to be negative but i find this skateboard wall-art trend sooo stupid. sure if you like a Chocolate/ Hecox deck and hang it on your wall, that's one thing... but to go out and make art on overpriced blank decks just to hang on a wall.. wtf is that? why not use a canvas or wood panel?
skateboard graphics have always had a history of being progressive because they're priced to be disposible/ designed to be destroyed, and therefore can't have a ton of time invested into the art.

in effort to be a little more constructive...
the concept of Build decks designed for an existing company that can distribute them at a "skateable" price is a great idea. to have your art put out on the street would be so much more rewarding.
i've designed a few snowboards and can say first hand there's nothing more satisfying than standing in the lift line and seeing some kid in front of you with your board all hacked, well used and plastered in decals.
