My mates girl friend... lets get that straight :)


photoshop
then print onto paper
trace with carbon paper
then use poska (spelling) paint pens
then clear varnish (spray can) on top to protect.

My favorite board is now a piece of art





sorry about the low quality photo

That's awsome Ron - though the maroon mal you did is still a fav.

There's 4 main ways to do art on a board - pens, paint, tint or decel (not to be confused with a "decal") all depends on what you want to do, what stage your doing it at, and how much you want to spend. If your using anything before glassing check it doesn't a) eat the foam, b) have compatbility issues with resin sticking to it.

And we want pics when your done
