Here are the skateboards I designed for a course at school. We had to create something and get the inspiration for the designs from an other culture. I mainly based my designs on the motives in the west african Kuba culture. The motives are mostly on pieces of textile, scarification tattoo’s and houses.
I wanted to give the pattern something personal so I made a small self-portrait for this one (the eyes).
In these I used a drawing of a Kuba women that I did earlier on.
For these I re-used the Eyes I drew earlier on.
I still need to decide which of these 9 designs I’m going to print on a skateboard, so please leave me a comment on which one you like the most…
These Skateboard designs are sick man!! Totally digging them.
Thanks a lot Sean! it was quite fun working on them!! Now I only need a skateboard company to hire me, haha, that would be cool…
