I thought I would share some of my more recent skateboard designs

These ones are on my Artsprojekt site and are printed by Zazzle. The printing is amazing with vibrant colours and a professional finish. The decks themselves are North American Maple pro model construction and range in sizes from a 18.4cm Mini deck to a 21.6cm Pro - There’s even an old-skool pointed style for those of us who remember the golden era of skateboarding - (A wonderful time before Caps and Cops.)

To sweeten your holiday season I have even found some Zazzle discount codes!
Radontheweb2 = 12% off your order of $75 or more.
Radontheweb1 = 10% off your order of $50 or more.

This news is over a month old!

Here’s a skateboard design I made for Vectortuts+, the aim of the tutorial was to demonstrate a few of the new CS4 features (Blob Brush, Multi Artboards, Scaling Patterns and Improved Appearance Panel) while at the same time addressing the technical requirements when designing for a skateboard.

The image itself is very simple, I made it this way so I could cover a variety of pre-press techniques and recolouring without over complicating the project.

This is a Premium Tutorial. Members of the Tuts+ network can download all of my source files and instructions.

Enjoy!

I’ll be away from the computer for much of the next 2 weeks, it’s time for a web-detox! I will be spending some quality time taking walks, browsing book stores, tending to the mess in the storage room and visiting friends and family.

For now, here’s a tutorial Sean wrote on How to Customise a Blank Toy (the BoT way.)

Hope you all had a relaxing end to 2008 and a rockin start to 2009!
