This piece is a functional work. I started with a blank skateboard deck with just a finish on it, sanded it down so all of the finish was completely off. After that I applied three coats of Gesso ( a thick white paste like medium). I then proceeded to lay down my graphic with graphite artist pencils, and then sealed it in with a coat of watered down white acrylic paint. The last part was taking white, black and grey acrylics and applying them to my skateboard. This is a depiction of the Empire State building, and a street sign in front painted black so it will pop to the viewers eye. The lines that you see are all 1/32 in. The overall taping of my board to get straight lines took over 2 1/2 hrs. Finally I used Krylon clear spray to give this a glossy finish.

These are my cereal box covers for 2 Dimensional Design. They are acrylic painted rough drafts of the covers. I am tweaking the Logo's and name brand of the cereal.

Targeted for 5-15 year olds I wanted to make this piece cartoon based. I never have really touched on drawing a cartoon like figure and for the first attempt I am pleased with

the product. Check for updates on this project coming soon. I have constructed an actual, functioning cereal box with Bristol board, re-enforced with cardboard.
