Sunday night, Reagan was being all artsy, working on some stuff for Piper’s birthday. She was having so much fun cutting up paper and stuff, that I decided to get in on the action. I got this great idea to draw and cut a stencil for the grip tape on my longboard. So I pulled out the pencil and x-acto knife and went to work. This is what I came up with.
It didn’t come out exactly how I wanted it to on the longboard, so I painted one of my freestyle skates, also. I found that it was tough to get the stencil to lie correctly because of the concave in the deck. Oh well. I don’t feel like it was time wasted.
.:About Me, and my blog, and stuff:.
Nice work. I’ve always used spray adhesive on the back side of the stencil to keep it in the correct position. That might fix your problem with the concave skateboard.
@Col: Adhesive definitely would have been the way to go. Unfortunately my arsenal of aerosol art supplies doesn’t run that deep. I was lucky to even be able to dig up some white spray paint. Hahahah
