Here's some recent design and illustration work I've been doing. I was asked by one of the contributors of a growing Snowboard Art site to whip up some designs. These are fun to do! I can get as creepy, weird, and goofy as I want to. I'll be getting a chunk of every sale. I've always been a fan of skateboard and snowboard art and Pushead's early Zorlac Skateboard work. Never got into skateboarding but I'm hoping there's still a few weirdo riders out there that like this stuff.

Sweet stuff Stevo. You forgot the one with the paint peeling off revealing beer lables underneath. You do great work.

I think your designs are really cool, the only thing I see missing is the "Brand"
I was into skateboarding and still skate with my boys...though not as gracefull. We frequent the X-games when they are in town and I go to ASR and MAGIC, which are sport retail shows. My 6 year old does not need a top of the line skateboard and I am not gonna pay 150-200 bucks for it, but I was reminded again a few months ago about the power of "brand" when I tried to get him a new no name skateboard at Target that had really cool designs, but since it's not Independent, Alien Workshop, Element, World Industries, Pig or Spitfire, he would not ride it. I would not say he is spoiled, but he is conditioned like we all are in that there is a cool factor involved with a product. My oldest son ended up giving the 6 year old one of his old boards so I got off the hook.

Looks creepy, weird, and goofy to me! I bet you had a lot of fun with those. Isn't this a UK-based company? Love.....Jill

pretty cool Stevo!. Hey I think the Green-Flamed Goblin board would look cool if he was riding on a Board instead of the car.

Thanks folks! Yup these definitely are fun as hell to design. I know what you mean Rick, I should come up with a little brag tag for these to get my name on them. Jill, this outfit is from Minnesota. My gallery is here I'll be starting on some heavy metal t-shirt designs for a chap from the UK this week. Dream gig!!! Signs? What signs? I'm working farther and farther away from them now, I couldn't be happier about it. I still do the odd sign design or logo here and there, but not very often.

Very nice, Stevo! Glad to hear the design biz is boomin'.
Pushead Zorlac...hell yeah. Had a DoubleCut and a Craig Johnson back in the day. Makes me feel old. Still got a pair of zorlac shrunken head sweatpants.

cool desigs Stevo I like the band aid one the best. I reckon a chequered plate steel background and skulls would look great.
Posted by Bevin Finlay (Member # 2159) on :
Hey Stevo;
Those look really cool!!! Hope things work out well for ya!
Posted by Bobbie Rochow (Member # 3341) on :
Stevo, you are doing great!!! I am so happy for you!
I would be afraid to use the one with the crutch, if i skateboarded! I like the band aid one, tho!
Posted by Doug Allan (Member # 2247) on :
great stuff Stevo!!

Very nice. The board I once rode when I lived in Colorado was a promo board with A Bud Light bottle printed on top. My only customization was a sticker of Marvin the Martian on the nose. Those were the days...
