Sick stuff. What material do you use for your stencils? I've been having a hard time finding something I like.
If I'm just making a shirt or something I use thicker paper, but then you can only get one use out of it cause it shrivels as soon as spray paint hits it. I've used some plastic stuff before too, but you can't get nearly as intricate with your designs as you can with paper, or at least it's a lot harder.

Just try and find some 3/5 mil plastics at your local art store. Anything thinner than that is worthless and thicker is a pain to cut.

Thanks Rag! Album art is definately a good source of inspiration! Usually save those types of pieces for canvas though, especially when they involve lots of intricate cuts and multiple layers.

Do you guys just apply the grip and cut out the lines with a razor after?

i recently had my first go at a randozzi-esque rimjob gripjob. i basically laid the unapplied grip on the board, used a big scissor to cut it and then added it piece by piece. worked better than expected, if i hadnt been distracted by family guy i would?ve cut the lines straight and it would?ve looked better. simply try it once, its fun. oh, and try to get a board with a brighter top layer, mine was dark-violet and you can hardly see the lines, looks a little weird.

This is one I did years ago, I remember it took forever to cut out but was very satisfying to apply to the deck. I did another one that was made up of Tetris blocks but unfortunately I don't have any pics of it.

I wouldn't consider it art at all since it's unoriginal and basic but it's cathartic. Gripping a board to me now is as calming as smoking weed to me was as a teen. Before anyone rips on the pink I'm aware it's lame and usually only use black but i got a roll for $25. I've started using crafting glue between the segments to avoid peel and it works pretty well.

isnt this kostons grip on tony hawks pro skater?

My friend makes some really awesome grip and is amazing at making stencils.  So when I have an idea I shoot it to him and he makes it.  He's done my instagram one and a series of danger mouse characters for me.  I'll try to get pics up when I can.  

Here is one of the instagrip while we were working on a diy spot

It isn't art for me, I just write a couple phrases on my grip. Just a little motivation, I guess.
One says "Fuck it!" near the nose, the other says "Land it, kook!". I'm dumb, I know.

So this is most likely superstition but I always seemed to snap boards I stenciled way quicker than I usually would. Has anyone else noticed this/ is there a reason for this or is it just bullshit? I did always spray onto the already gripped board if that makes any difference at all.

Also the C Hanz stencil is amazing, props.

did you cut the grip before or after applying it? it looks like after and i'd recommend you not do that in the future. you're cutting into the top ply of the deck and that will make it snap faster, especially when cut around the bolts.

i used to do a lot of stencils on my boards. lately i havent been doing it, but i sort of want to start again. it was always fun and never took more than a few hours.

yeah it was after and it was a mess because I knew there was that sick script under the grip but not exactly where. I got it better than that but still could have been better but still..whatever  :)

I've done a bunch over the past year. I really like being able to tie a memory down to something like griptape, so I can say "Oh yeah, I remember learning ___ on the board with, say, Jackie Kennedy on it." My friends hate it, because they get my hand downs usually, but whatever.

Not griptape art, but I bought a blank and paint penned a graphic, then sprayed clear coat on it to seal it / make it less sticky feeling.

The grip tape I threw on that board had Stattler and Waldorf on it. The few people at the parks that recognized them were STOKED.

The first two layered stencil I ever did. Thankfully it was really fucking easy, but I still would rather just use paint pen.
http://distilleryimage2.s3.amazonaws.com/da6242d0222611e381ef22000a9f0507_7.jpg (http://distilleryimage2.s3.amazonaws.com/da6242d0222611e381ef22000a9f0507_7.jpg)

Sprayed the gold first, then went over it with paint pens.

Me and my girlfriend go to the semi-local drive in a lot, usually to watch movies we know are going to be shitty, and just make fun of them the whole time. Soo, I sprayed the tail white, then found a photo of that actual drive in's entrance online and paint penned it over. This one is probably my favorite.

This one... I was laid up for a few months last year, just like I am now, and ended up buying cosmic vomit 2 and listening to a lot of Juciy J. So I was bored and put this on my board, and within a few weeks, I ended up really, really regretting it.

Title: Re: grip tape art...
Post by: handsclapanin on May 10, 2015, 08:39:21 PM
First off, props to all others posting their work.
Its cool to see how many different ways you can decorate your sandpaper.
Be it simple or time consuming, its really a signature on your set up.
How much of a bummer is it when you spend 3 hours on your grip and the board breaks in 10 minutes? I remember this happening a few times. On the flip side; I know I rode a lot of my designs till the board was thrashed beyond beat. It was like having a design I was stoked on made me ride the board longer than I would otherwise.
From about '97 till 2008; I made some sort of design on every board I skated. Basically all through my 20s. I'd guess around 250 - 300 boards. I've managed to hold onto the below 60 in some form. Here's some photos.
(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/handsclapanin/grip%206%20OG_zpsfgfrfryx.jpg)
The first 2 years or so my technique was like this early example. Draw the design on the back. Cut it out with a razor. Make all those cut out pieces a little smaller with a  pair of scissors. Then stick all these little grip scrapes in their spot. Eventually, I ended up just removing pieces to create an image.
(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/handsclapanin/grip%2010%20muska%20stix_zpswi4xwrcs.jpg)

(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/handsclapanin/grip%201%20bob%20carpet_zpsl3gadwec.png)
Young Bob Marley.                                                              And I think these 2 guys were from a design on a rug
(http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/handsclapanin/grip%202%20dream_zpskdktz7vc.png)
Over the years, I made maybe 15 Chinese characters. They were always some of my favorites. I remember one of the early ones, I drew it as you see it; and it wasn't until I'd cut it out that I realized it was backwards. Had to get another sheet. Wasn't a total loss as I used the fuckup as a stencil. So it was fast to redraw. Sometimes drawing the design took longer than cutting out the pieces.  This one meant "Dream"

I take no credit in creating this stencil. But this was my board that I skated.

i think that would just make a giant air buble in the middle? i guess it could work but then it has to stop before the edge of the board...

The griptape covers the top and bottom of the picture so it doesn't lift from that, and it's held down to the wood with a little wood glue

Next time, you could use clear shipping tape to stick the paper down, then grip over the parts you don't want exposed. That's how I've seen it done.

Also, thank you for resurrecting this thread. This wasn't as timely as tzhangdox (welcome to the boards, by the way), but I had footage skating this board in two video parts that premiered the night before Bowie passed.

You guys got any recommendations on what kind of paint & brushes to get to paint some stuff on the grip tape?

I'd want the stuff to look good but not affect the grippiness at all. Also spraying isn't gonna work for what I want to do and those paint markers are a bitch as they get fucked up and you can only get rather thick lines with them.

i just use deco color painters pens. they're cheap and they won't fuck up the grippiness. get the thinner ones if you're worried about thick lines.

I used it in the past and thought it was pretty good. The colors underneath were a bit muted, but you could still see through it clearly. The grit was really visible as well so that might be detrimental if you're doing something with very fine details, but I'd back it for the most part.

I’ve thought about making grip art. But I’m concerned it will lessen the grit of the grip tape and make it less grippy. Can anyone attest to this?
Title: Re: grip tape art...
Post by: jtrpma on April 17, 2019, 10:05:09 AM
it should not really affect the quality of the grip. just if you use too much paint it will later over “sand” just try and you will see how it works for you.

also the clear mob looses grip so fast and turns into a fucking sticker after 2-3 weeks of skating it.
really disappointed with that.

It's like skating. Keep at it and don't be too critical of yourself if you don't happen to create a masterpiece right away and you'll get better and better. It's fun as hell IMO and with grip art at least for me it's kind of an easy medium as it's temporary anyway so I don't have to care too much about it.  :)

Everytime I try to do grip art or any art for that matter it turns out like complete shit jealous of you guys. I wish i had a artistic bone in my body
[close]

Exactly what I think.
I would also not necessarily define this as art, it is just wat happens to my boards after a while.
I just have markers on me, hoard weird pictures and stuff I like and, just in case keep scraps of old grip.

It's like skating. Keep at it and don't be too critical of yourself if you don't happen to create a masterpiece right away and you'll get better and better. It's fun as hell IMO and with grip art at least for me it's kind of an easy medium as it's temporary anyway so I don't have to care too much about it.  :)

can someone explain to me the influx lately of people putting a line going all the way down from nose to tail? usually it’s in the middle, I see Austin Gillette do it a lot. is there a function for this? or is it purely aesthetic?

wide boards where the grip isn’t big enough edge to edge?

naw, like, where someone literally has a line going all the way down the middle of the board vertically, so the line is sitting in between the four bolts.

I don’t know. Got that deck from a friend, the black grip was already like that.
It bothered me, so I sprayed it black and patched it with clear scraps sins e it was the only grip I had around...

I've found stencils to work best when doing grip art, also paint pens are rad but like someone else has said too much will fuck you up and disappoint you. 

Too much art and it looks like dogshit or gum on your grip that's why I either go for stencils and cutouts with a sticker underneath.

So how do you go about throwing pictures on?

Mob used to be the clearest but doesn’t last longer d looses grip fast. But recently a lot of others started making more clear stuff, so you can try a few. Iron horse is not as clear but stays the way it feels new.

Or if you have sheets instead of grip from the roll you can grip the deck in two parts.

The 16131 is 16-13-1 which is pma (positive mental attitude)
The circle is equality, peace, anarchy.
The painting is just doodling and looks weirdly biblical which I don’t like too much.
And “I against I” is a bad brains song I like to keep in mind when skating.
I am my only enemy and skating is about fun, that is why I always have pma on there,  because I tend t get pissed when slamming or not being able to skate the way I expect myself to do.

@tortfeasor did the stencil and I dropped the ball on the rest since I just wanted to set it up.

Frog Pat G (9.875)
Ace AF1 77 stock
OJ Plain Janes 87a 58mm.
Bones Reds
Santa Cruz Slimeline Rails
Diamond 1/8 Raisers
Bronze 56k Allen bolts 1inch.
Jesus Grip + Random Clear Grip

So stoked on how it came out. Went to the park and had a fun test drive already. So different from my usual 8.25 deck, feels like skating a tank!

I don't know if this has been said already but gripart is corny as fuck and needs to stop

Let me guess, you are now in your mid thirties, pining for a time when skating was all about trying to nerd out on a curb on under 8-inch popsicles with plain black grip, listen to hip-hip, and rock your fresh DCs to impress the girls in their raver pants and Etnies.

You used to mock the older skaters with their hopelessly out-of-date shaped boards and grabbed tricks. How old and lame they seemed! Out of touch!

Then one day you pull up to the local park to warm up before hitting the street (it seems like you need longer and longer warm-ups these days, and once simple flip tricks are now a struggle to retain).

You see kids with shaped boards, girls even. They are running the park, with their odd fashion, music you can’t quite get into. And they are grabbing their boards as much as they are flipping them.

You pop in your earphones, crank some Nas (the new album isn’t bad), and take shelter bu the manny pad, hoping none of those faggoty boards with colored grip come near you. You close your eyes, and try to remember the good old days…

I asked my buddy if I could take a picture of his behemoth he spent like 3 hours gripping. We were so gassed on how it turned out he decided not to skate it. so he went out and bought another behemoth to skate that. Now this remains as an emergency deck for him. Not art, but it’s art.

speaking of griptape art. i i allways do mosaic/patchwork kinda griptape art. but have this one board i gripped a year ago, and never set it up. now i set it up last week and i am so bummed on the griptape art i did a year ago. its not my style at all anymore.
i thought myself to not grip boards to much in advance of riding them cause i already realized this problem. but i still had this deck laying around and had to skate it someday.

Bumping this up since it’s time for a fresh.

Whenever I spent a lot of time with grip design, the deck would break super fast. So now I just let friends paint my grip and the curse seems to be over. Here's an old pic of my cruiser (Control blank 8.5 fish) before I set it up. Done by a very talented friend.

Thank you both. It was a labor of love. I don't think I will do the next one with the same method because it felt like it took forever BUT I am pleased with the results so...

I drew out the pattern on some large paper until I got it about right then started cutting the pattern piece but leaving connector pieces every few inches. Then I traced onto the grip backing (it really helps to start with a flat sheet or if yours has been rolled to lay it out flat for a few days beforehand). Then I started cutting the grip from the packing side leaving little tabs uncut here and there to keep the pattern in place.

The whole sheet was applied and then the little tabs were cut out from the top.

It was a process.

Don’t know if this counts as grip art but I finally set up this pandy-panic-purchase from a while back.

^I like looking at it and it makes me feel things, so yeah, I'd say that's definitely art. Great job!

Thought I’d try to remive this thread in hopes of some fresh inspo: I seem to be spinning my wheels, so to speak. 
Here’s the most recent effort.

Yet another sheet of Jessup LS3 sacrificed to the razor gods.
Pretty low effort, I know.

Soon to be featured in The Set-Up Thread once I pull some other bits out of “cold storage.”

Cross posting this one from the set up thread. I'm pretty stoked on how this one turned out, which I can't say for all my grip jobs.

Damn, that looks so good. I’d pay to get my board gripped like that.

Whenever I tried to do something different, it always ended up looking like I used grip tape scraps from a shop.

I like calligraphy, especially black letter and ’calligraffiti’ stuff, but I feel slightly like an egomaniac putting ”messages” on display for other people to see… so I usually just write something simple just for the fun of it. It does also fuck up the markers pretty fast when writing on griptape.

Maybe one day I’ll get over myself and use some color, or a larger format.
