ALOHA TIKI TRIBE!
Making Art for my 2nd wave of skate board designs from Made on Mars http://www.madeommars.com
"The Flying Tiger Shark Mo'o (Dragon) "
I am looking for a black & white iconic Skate image.
Powerful, exciting, Epic even! Like the things I saw in the 80's.
the thing about reproducing million color painting images is the vast cost in printing, and the many things that can go wrong in the printing process.
If I can create a hand full of solid really darned good B & W images, translated intone vector graphics for easy reproduction in many sizes, and with much less the printing cost,
that will take me farther down the road to a more secure financial statement in the skate world of Low-Brow and Tiki Art. It'll help pay for the million zillion proper printing of
my more elaborate full color paintings onto boards. I really want to hit both side, have graphics of limited color I can reproduce on boards, t-shirts and many other things with ease, and not only
the expensive full color board graphics.
Also I really dig powerful B & W Art! Reminds me of my roots and the indy comic books where I started. to this day, I prefer b & w comic books to full color ones.
"The Flying Tiger Shark Mo'o - Dragon"
Here I'm transferring the image to a better quality paper.
Bigger, heavier, more clay than rag content, ...and suitable to create an elaborate ink drawing on instead of the small cheap pepper of my sketch book.
"The Flying Tiger-Shark Mo'o ( Dragon )
This image should be inked in as a full on black and white illustration for a deck.
Then I'll scan it in and re-create it again in Adobe illustrator so I can reproduce and print in in a variety of media and on many things without loosing any details.
More laters!
