An album cover, featuring sunflowers, by Tyler the Creator inspired this graphic. His use of scale in his art and vibrant colour-ways is an influence on my art style. On this board I used bright colours to contrast against the pastel background. Considering that this was the first time I spray painted, I really like how the line work in the sunflower turned out! I found that spray paint gets really thick fast, especially when layering, so next time I will apply less paint.
This was also my first time woodworking so I got a lot of help from other OSF students, especially pressing the board out of 7 layers of @roarockit Canadian Maple veneers. I was really interested to learn about the different directions of grain in the wood. After I pressed them together in an air tight vacuum bag, I began to scrape and sand the edges of the board which I found very tiring… it was satisfying in the end!
I look forward to the future here where I will create a custom Bedlam Bloom shaped skateboard. I would really appreciate it if you follow my brand @bedlambloom
