I finally finished a skateboard to be donated to SkaterAid 2013. I found out about this show during my recent visit to Atlanta and it seemed pretty easy to join. So after confirming that it really was super-easy to take part in, I got to work!
SkaterAid, a skateboarding, music and art festival, features ramps, jumps and contests for skateboarders, and music is provided by teen bands from area high schools. A live skateboard deck art auction is held throughout the day, with a selection of eye-popping art created by professional and “outsider” artists from used skateboard decks. All proceeds generated by the event are donated to families who are battling pediatric brain cancer. The event will be held Sunday, Sept. 29th from 2-7 p.m. at East Decatur Station, a business complex just west of the Avondale MARTA station at 109 New Street, Decatur, Georgia.
I simply sanded and primed the deck and used colored pencils to create the image. Then applied several coats of matte medium to seal it.
Sweet art.Such talent! I hope I win!
