Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend me your Decks!
Kids,
I’m in a bit of a jam, pickle, a light honey braise…
So a little while ago, I did these cool decks, and now i have the bug!
.....I LOVED doing it, so much so I was inspired to design more…
with a view to pitch some sort of exhibition… HOWEVER, I’m forced to execute my ninja skills on canvas…
...b/c blank decks are hard to come by over here on the island. I’ve asked around and have been told “there is no reason to bring black decks into the country” supplier wise.
ok, so i thought to the internet!! and i found them, dirt cheap, on eBay, Amazon, and a few skate sites. If the shipping isn’t $115 – $250 (!!!!), they won’t ship to Australia AT ALL!
So who here knows how i could get my hands on (at least) 5 blank decks, preferably natural, 7.75 wide, LiteZpeed, PopLite… somethingLite… the cool ones! With a few to get 10 more.
Much Love and Painting Bugs,

I do paintings on decks aswell but i usually just use my old ones after ive skated em. Ive got an old one in the back of my car its not snapped u could sand it down and paint it if ur keen. (thats what I normally do. Its 8 inches and its krooked. But if u want something new im pretty sure theres a brand called untitled they just make blank decks and i think they are around 60 bucks. The local shop near me sells em so i assume u should be able to get em at other places.

They will look awesome!! Good luck with finding the blanks. Any reason why you don’t just get regular ones then strip and repaint them if you can’t get blanks?

Re you painting these free hand, or printing them?
