Mhmm.

Wallpaper'd the graffiti art in two variations. I did not attempt to make a realistic blend, it just looked cooler the way it did =). Anyways, two versions shrunken down from 1680x1260px resolution.

graffiti!

So I had my buddy, Eric do my name in graffiti. It looks awesome and I plan on vectoring that gem up and making it a wallpaper.

Done.

So here's the print as well as the mounted version with some various shots_

Mhmm.

So I finally got it printed today and am just about to mount it. It came out darker than I thought i.e. without the aid of my monitor's light. Little disappointed in that since you can't see the details as clearly as you would on the computer, but overall I really liked this project and the outcome of it.

DECK DESIGN

FINAL Product. I was contemplating for literally hours on the colour scheme--tweaking and adjusting with colour balance or variations in PS until I just stuck with the one I have now. I'm really digging the monster as I spent quite some time moulding the design from it's predecessor (i.e. the ghost in the previous post). It took about 4 hours to come up with the sketch and to create it in Illustrator, but it was well worth it.

Shrunken down from 9"x34" for viewing pleasures without lost of quality.



This was the other variation that I was going for_

I was really digging the colour scheme and this was going to be my final. However, after realizing the board dimensions needed to be lengthened I forgot to save the colour settings, and thus I couldn't arrive on the same hues again--which totally sucks.

Skate deck production

Well, I thought it'd be interesting for those who browse through my blog to see the production of the skate deck and how the monster came into fruition. This'll be an image-taxing post.

Tattoos

Tattoo design. In this assignment we were to sketch out a couple of tattoo designs. The one we were satisfied the most with, we'd trace and turn it into a vector. Import the image into PS and manipulate into a photo to make it appear as realistic as possible.
