I am 18 years old and this is my first semester at Oasis Skateboard Factory. I was previously enrolled at Rosedale Heights School of the Arts where I was participating in their orchestra as well as multiple media art courses. My interests are mostly related to music and art but I also really enjoy Muay Thai fighting.
In my art I usually incorporate some sort of hidden message and/or mythical/religious reference. In the board I made my brands logo, a skull with 2 horns are on either side of it. I have put my logo in the center of the board to make it the focal point of the board. The Horns on the board are duplicates of Crymson Crypts name logo, I did this to link the logos together in order to build a connection between the two in hopes that eventually I can use them separately or use a letter logo but still have give customers the ability to identify my brand. I created this board through a process known as air pressing where I take a freshly glued stack of wooden veneers and put it in an air sealed bag while it is on top of a mold. When the board has taken the shape of the mold, I begin to sand it in order to give it a smooth texture. Once the board preparations were done, I moved on to designing the board.
This board was supposed to be done with two different layers of paint but due to some complications it took about 4 separate instances where the boards design was compromised. I am personally disappointed with how long it took to complete as the base design was finished within a day but because of a couple of mistakes in my sealing process I ended up spending another 2 days touching up the board to cover any visual flaws.
In conclusion this is the first of many boards made by Crymson Crypt and it symbolises that my brand is finally ready to commission boards for customers. Crymson Crypt can put your design on any board you want from penny boards to longboards… Crymson Crypt will provide you an escape from reality.
