DECKS

Ever since I saw the 7 Laserdeck Skate Show I’ve wanted to produce my own decks. Today, the first shipment arrived.. and I’m stoked. Each of these was laser engraved front and back with my artwork. I had 3 made for the initial run. The first is a logo design for Ochre, next one is for Terminal (the final release on Narita Records), the third is titled 2808-a design cooked up just for burning. I’ve got a number of other designs in queue for production, which can be seen in the engraving section of the gallery. Here’s some detail pics of the finals:

    Awesome details! You should assign number/name to each deck as they are definitely collectibles!

    Nate:

    You should think about designing custom guitar faces. I think there could be some good money in it if you were working with the premier guitar makers.

    All the best.

    These look great. I think these really stand out from the typical types of media; will look good in a gallery.

    PeiPei: That’s the idea. I’m currently planning to limit production to 7 units per design, signed and numbered. Each will come with a full size print of the original design that’s also signed/numbered.

    Paul: That’s one I’ve been mulling over for a little while, and I love the idea. Think if I did, I’d start with an Ibanez RG body. With laser engraving, in order for the laser to keep focus, the lens needs to be level with the target surface. The RGs are completely flat on the face barring a slight contour for the picking arm, so I think they’d be ideal.

    Kelly: Thanks!

    Dang! I want to see these in person. They look sharp! I am really interested in seeing these things.

    Your designs keep getting better. I always enjoy seeing your “newest”.

    Thanks

    Beautiful work and nice shots. The shots do justice to the actual decks though there’s nothing like seeing them in person. Really fantastic stuff!

    cheers.
