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.

Wow that looks really good, I would never have the patience to do something like that.

I love that. I feel like beyond the patience of actually applying it, it would get distracting at times. Still though, it looks sick as fuck.

Wow.

If I didnt destroy the grip tape from skating, then I would definitely try to get a little creative.

This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

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.

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.

Mate, thats sick. Dont think I could skate it down to not wanting to ruin it and being heavily distracted
