Pretty pretty purple

There was a few custom strings board, this one cost $320. The customer paid 1/3 that because that was the price however it took 3 attempts to get the purple right. If to lightly applied comes out as burgundy/wine colored, if to heavy it becomes opaque like a paint and the grain is obscured. In the middle there is various intensities. This is a red base, blue base is to dark. There is two purples in the RGBIV, one is Red, the other is Green and Violet doesn't count.

Rebuilding the main site

I'm in the process of redesigning the main site. So thus welcome to blog land.

Twice a year I redesign the XXX site to host the new boards for that season. We have two seasons, summer/fall and winter/spring. Twice a year I design new shapes, invest in new concave molds and announce releases of new boards. The art, the making of many of the boards is done solely by myself. All the art you will see in limited edition boards has to be created, finalized and mechanically separated. Often enough tens of hours goes into a graphic that will only if ever be on 50 boards where as 30 hours of art time will go into a board that will only have 20 made. Often enough it's a balance of time, talent, production and a balancing the time.
Please check out the various updates and see what is going on in XXX land for new shapes and sneak peeks.
