    Collage looks fantastic. I do recommend when laying the pics on there to use a very light layer of a spray adhesive if the pics run all the way to the edge. That way it doesn't tear off from some crazy skate shit.

    started doing grip art a while back. used to just do vert stripes cause most boards i ride had top graphics. but when i went to japan and skated with some guys that did griptape art i was like damn. just looks so much more fun to skate those. since then i did 5 boards. gripping boards is now such a nice and relaxing activity. just take your time and see it all come together.

    I definitely need to explore grip tape art. Really liking the idea of a magazine cut out under the transparent grip - out of interest with your collage you used tape on the corners, was that to hold it in place or for aesthetic? Could you not PVA glue it in place, then once it dries, grip over top?

    • @ZackDowdy
      @ZackDowdy  3 роки тому +1

      I try to do a super light coat, that way it's just a thin layer on top. If you do it too thick, it'll make your "grit" less deep, and you'll loose grip for sure.
