I’m into reading manga and superhero comics, computers and robots. I love playing Destiny (video game), and I watch football, basketball and ice cross.
The image on my board is comic book themed, and the story is based on the video game RPG, where two heroes fight a boss and lose. I was inspired by Destiny, another RPG.
The board is made out of Canadian maple veneers. I drew the panels and printed them in the shape of a pintail, applied the printed template to a tape stencil, and spray-painted the board blue and the characters yellow. Features and outlines are in paint marker.
I made the choice to fill the entire space of the board with imagery. The lines are organic and the board has a smooth texture. By using a limited amount of black, I created defined images from the blue areas.
The narrative on my board is about two characters who try to beat a really hard boss and get destroyed in the process.
I’m happy with the woodworking component of my board. As far as the graphic elements, I would use less lines next time, less panels, and make the characters bigger.
This board will be for sale at the OSF January 26 pop up @anomaly. Look for me there and follow me on Instagram @pop_skate_to
