The Board Part II

What was supposed to be a clean=up session in the office today became a deck touch-up session. Reapplied the paint and it looks much cleaner now. Not really the best but I'm kind of happy with it. Am considering a clear coating as tipped by the ironxhanger. Dewi was kind enough to entertain me and took a shot of the board with yours truly.

Alright folks, good night.
Later blader haters.

Skateboard Attempt Number 1

The stencils were divided into 2 A3 pieces. The letters 'tles' were cut first.





Fixing up the back of the stencil.

Aligning the stencil on the board.



This was the first attempt. I'm sure after the first coat it was good enough, but I went for 2 more coats in hopes of it giving a better shine but it just came out to fuzzy.

After light sanding. I liked what went on here, but it would make more sense if it was in a series.

Applying the paint again to see how it looks on the sanded background.

This is probably the 4th time after plying around on the previous attempts.



The 'final' product. It looks pretty okay on camera but i assure you it doesn't when you see it in person haha. It does require a lot of touch ups and even a complete re-sanding and reapplying of paint.

There was this need to get off my ass and do something productive. I had a skateboard idea in mind, in line with the merchandise we are planning to release so i figured with the extra cash i have, i ought to realise the skate plan. Above are the processes made before reaching the 'final' product. That is after sanding and re-spraying a couple of times. And I might be at it again because the end product doesn't look that good. Hope to keep y'all updated.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks.
Later blader hater.

Works from our good friend, SpeakCryptic can be seen on Juxtapoz's website, under the reader art section. Or just click here.

This is really good news, and that chap has been working hard with his art and stuff, so on the behalf of the band, I'd like to congratulate him and hope that the exposure will get him more gigs (not that he hasn't enough already hahaha). Congrats bro.

ironxhanger - Skateboarding, Art, Activism

A friend of ours has made his presence felt online via ironxhanger (Click to visit), dedicated to skateboarding art, culture, etc. It's refreshing to have such efforts around in times of over-priced t-shirts, Nike skate shies and fashionable 'street' jacks whom finally realise that it is actually cool to wear Vans.

I think some ironxhanger t-shirt projects are in progress, so do drop by his site and show some love.
