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.
Working with pixels is extreemly hard, but when the pixels are the size of post-it notes that you have to animate by hand - piece by piece… well, that’s when you go from ambitious to epic.

My only issue? They should have used a grid in illustrator, it would have made life easier.
In the next few days I’ll publish a “how-to” for stress-free chunky vector pixels. Mmmm tasty!
Funny what turns up when you haven’t cleared the camera in a while - Yes, behind Sean’s head is a Kat doll! My sisters are so clever they collaborated with eachother and designed and made a super accurate likeness of me!
Watch out Sean, She hypnotise you!
