The particular blue of this top ply said water.

Very classy

I really like this one @Bold

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.

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You used to mock the older skaters with their hopelessly out-of-date shaped boards and grabbed tricks.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'm not a fan of griptape art
i rarely check this thread
idk why i did today
but i do know that this burn made me laugh.
well done @cucktard gnar'd

Straight up there are some talented dudes on here. I had a go at some grip art for my daughter for the first time, she's obsessed with Stranger Things so I did a mind flayer for her.

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

scab · « **Reply #558 on:** October 25, 2022, 11:23:04 PM »

^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.”

Oops. It is fun switch too tho
