New Deck

So this is my latest finished skate deck - a 7.75" this time, so a wee bit wider. Board is a beautiful natural wood finish on the reverse side w no grip tape, so keeping in theme w this I did her up in warm, chocolate browns.
Built up in layers, Starting w a vintage embossed wallpaper as background (This paper was rescued from an old brothel in Wellington that has since been bought and transformed into student housing for Vic Uni) - paper has been over-painted in multi layers in Gouache; The girl sitting on top is hand cut in 600gsm watercolour paper and hand painted in Gouache. The whole board has then been coated in a hard gloss resin that resembles clear toffee - Delicious!
