grip tape art

[Seanie990]

well, I got the idea for this thread from what one member said in my deck design contest thread. If you have griptape that is cut up, drawn on, spraypainted, etc. in an artistic way, then put some pics of it on here!This should be cool!

[Bakerbum211]

i will in a few mins. im going to take a pic of my broken board that has an awsome spraypaint job!

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b10/this_is______me/learn.jpg

Thats a lot like i used to do mine, I would draw the symbol for "patience" in between the front bolts.

[crypticpoet]

I love doing it. I think the best part of making a stencil is drawing it. Cutting it out is a pain in the butt, but then it looks epic if you do it properly.

[GrizzledJASPER]

Yeah, I ended up just buying a paint pen. Im a cheater.

[ollye]

Do you cut the tape before puttin it on or after?
I did it after without thinking and now it's sticky...:D

[crypticpoet]

If you buy a marker, you can screw it up when you draw it on. With a stencil, you know exactly what you want before you stick it on. Then all it comes down to is technique when you're spraying it on. Not too heavy, not too light....Just Right.

Wow. I'm hungry now.

[TrAnCe]

yeah, I eat weet bix.... how do you cut the stencils out though? and how'd u get to becomne a RR Staff.. I thought they were all in England :-)

[HELLonWHEELS]

My work. I have other stuff, if i can find some of my old decks

http://www.ramprage.com/forums/media/data/500/skating_002.jpg

[TrAnCe]

hmm.... someone tell me's, the onberlin looks nice, but how would u cut the circle in the O outta the stencil? isnt it too small?

[crypticpoet]

It actually says "anberlin", not "onberlin." An understandable mistake, though, but it's their logo.

Yeah it was extremely difficult to cut out; but I mastered stencil cutting. You just make an extremely thin line of paper from the outer edge of the "a" to the inner circle, so that it stays in place. You have to be so careful with it, though.

And no, haha, the mods don't all live in England. One of the reasons I am a mod is because I can cover the Eastern Australia timezone.

Also, your description of where you live...Sydney is nothing like that, but that is off-topic.

[TrAnCe]

yeah, anberlin it is....

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH

that line apparently has SIX F's.... I think I'm goin blind :-S (theres 3 F's in the "of's" but everyone misses them coz they're blind)

btw (Off topic) you live near Hornsby. I live near the army barracs. Sydney is like that down ere mate

[OneArmedPanda]

i wanna put some sick art on my deck. whats the best thing to use. already have a fallen stencil that i sprayed on but is there anything easier.

[sizlesteve]

I see people with writing on there deck in different colors. Any one know what kind of markers they use. I knnow its not a normal crayola marker. Is it something special?

[GrizzledJASPER]

paint pens, i got one at an arts and crafts place... idk if they have them at walmart or whatever. ive never looked.

[sizlesteve]

ok thanks. I will have to get some.

[hayward420]

our local skate shop does so much griptape its stupid but theres a graffiti shop next to it and he does designs which are off the hook.

[PopwarPunk]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/CorvetteLover/YEAHHH_1.jpg

Some freehand homo-art.

Top right is lyrics to 'The End' by the Doors, took up the whole board.

[Unknown Skater]

How do you make grip art? What do you need?

[strong_racing43]

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b236/YzRaCeRx259/grippic.jpg

The top has a more silver color tint to it.

[cheif]

How do you make grip art? What do you need?

cardstock paper, an exacto knife, spraypaint and imagination.

as much as i thought of stenciling my boards i never thought of painting my tape. i might do that when i get some paint.

[natas]

im thinking about getting new griptape do i have to take the one already on off or can i just put it over the old griptape????

[Dookie416]

you have to peel your grip off before you apply a new sheet.

[12Pack]

Yeah dont try to overlay a new tape over the old one because the adhesive wont stick to the old tape.

[natas]

ok works for me ....

[crypticpoet]

Too much 'art' can look yuck.

I got this deck today. My new baby, from the dear people at almost. I can safely say that this is the best deck I have skated.

Anyway. My enamel (the stuff I use to spraypaint stencils on) got blocked and stuff, so I resorted to using one of my metallic pens. Sorry about the crappy, unedited, over-flashed image. I had a bit of trouble being bothered editing it. 'Ere:

Sorry to bring it up.
Just did these today.
The side 2 are just decks and the middle is my Popwar.

[Greenday]

Is it possible to use chalk to draw on your griptape? It looks like some of the locals do that. I'm not sure if it works.

[strong_racing43]

Yep^.
I try to stay away from it though because it wears away.

[Greenday]

Yep^.
I try to stay away from it though because it wears away.
Sweet. I plan on changing my grip art once in a while anyways.

[hops523]

Besides using spary paint, how are you guys getting these graphics of your grip?

[-noxi-]

What happened to Hatchetmans dreads?

I just put simple stuff or like a thing I spent time on. None of this stencil crap hahaha.

[strong_racing43]

^Haha. I couldnt get the tip of my paint pen to fit in there.

[hops523]

Whats a paint pen?

[strong_racing43]

Go to your local hardware store and ask them if they have them.
They are a pen but instead of ink in them they have paint.
They are about $4 a peice.

[hops523]

Thats kool thats kool, but is it just like paint, just easier to draw things with?

[rodneymullen123]

i have a mate who is amzing at graffitti. i suppose i should ask him to do some art for me on mine. i reckon he'd probably do other peoples if you want it done. i dont think that would be a good idea anyway because it would be too much hassle posting it and everything you know.

[H-town sk8]

What happened to Hatchetmans dreads?

I just put simple stuff or like a thing I spent time on. None of this stencil crap hahaha.
hatchetman doesn't always have dreads, theres tons of variations
and a paint pen is basically a marker but it writes with paint (like spray-paint but without the spray)

[Nyska]

Wont the stencil or other things come off when u use the griptape???

[rodneymullen123]

they shouldn't do

[Nyska]

ok, just thought they might

I layed a chrome sticker on the deck then I sticked my own die-cut Jessup grip with the Mini-Logo logo on. Hence, the reflection from in the second pic.

[bucksaw87]

wow dude that mini-logo is a really good idea...anybody besides me ever use stainless steel or chrome deck bolts so it's all shiny and stuff?
