Back To The Coal Face

…flying by the third…

…you know that feeling when you feel like you have way more in your mouth than you should have put in there?…

…that feeling….

Big Secret Project IV

….more of those big secret project pieces that should have been posted ages ago….

…only 2 to go….

….saving the best for last!

I Should Be On Stuff

….like t-shirts or skateboards…

…thats what that gallery owner said way back before lockdown….

…took me awhile to realise that nephew Max could be a source for used boards….and when asked at the Xmas brunch table if he had any he immediately left the table for 20 minutes to go find them!….

….and here are the results…

….Cheers Max…

….all boards had the original graphics ground off….stained to look like “real” wood…all skulls “n” bones and graphic edges burnt on with the trusty poker work machine….

…Max decided to go for a ridable option (these three are well thrashed)…and will bring me a fresh board to redecorate….a board we can document the wear and tear on…

….should be interesting….
