Funny this topic should come up. I just made this for a childhood friend’s daughter as a graduation present. Floral graphics, gold and copper leaf with a posca pen outline. It’s hard to see in the pics, but the board is baby blue pigment, and there is a baby blue pigment pinline above and below the graphic, very subtle.
That’s really nice!! Your work never ceases to amaze me.
Here’s one I did recently that’s all CG and printed as an inlay. The board is 9’8" x 27". It was the first time that the file size of the art made it over 1 gigabyte.
A lot of nice work on this thread. Seeing as how I just did an inlay I’m curious about the technique on this one. Is it laser cut from veneer? Is it actually inlaid into the deck wood? Or overlaid? In any case it’s pretty stunning.
My other dilemma with regard to artwork on surfboards is that, for display, it works better with the graphics on the deck. But, unless it’s intended as a pure wall hanger, it makes no sense to put the art on the deck where it will caked over with wax and sand (a maybe little bits of tar). What to do?
yankeesurfer - i really like the argyle board. did you have any issues with the tape pulling up any of the paint between colors? and thanks for the compliment on the board. its not a net, but fishnet stockings.
slashzilla - nice work also. are they all done in paint pen or do you spray some of the larger areas and then detail with the pens?
