Keepin Up With... AD

Deck Graphics 

From Ad and Co at Drawing Boards

Paint tubes...

Gotta represent the tools of the trade, we'd done pencils on a few graphics before so thought we'd switch it up a bit.

Drawing Boy...

This was the second graphic sticking with the theme. This time pitting pencil to paper, "basically getting it all started".

Deco...
Being a bunch of hippies any excuse to draw flowers ha ha.

Just wanted to try and do something different with this one, using the wood as the background worked out pretty well.

 Skate all day...
This one is a summer graphic, with bright colours and it says what it is ... 'Skate all day' !!!

Fairfield...
This is basically the birth place of Drawing Boards, Fairfields means a lot to me - so many inspiring guys came out of there! The deck contains all the Fairfield essentials, beer on the wall, Football on the grass not to mention the infamous one legged pigeon. 

Fairfield has withered away over the years but is due a (Croydon) facelift very soon... Woop!

Flying pencil...

This one was based on a run of pencil animal stickers I did, we wanted it to look like the ducks you'd see in old peoples homes above the fire place, hence the wallpaper background.

Nostrilitus...
I drew this one when I was in a bit of a state to be honest I broke my leg real bad and couldn't walk for about a year and a half,  it was so frustrating as I just wanted to skate.  

People seemed to like the graphic so it worked out...

Crowded ..
This deck took me a long time to draw and is probably our best seller ... I've been painting these characters for well over ten years now and want to start sticking them about in more abstract places, so keep your eyes out for em...

Thought...

This was the first deck we came up with it's fairly basic idea 'Thought', what happens before you go to the Drawing Board.

Skate at Night...
A winter graphic willing people to stay on there boards through the winter months. 

Keeping it hardcore, none of this seasonal skater nonsense. 

We did a run of these that glowed in the dark too ...

Every graphic we make has a little story behind it...

There are loads more decks out there too but for some reason while I was going through them these were the ones that jumped out. I'd fully rather that, than to churn out logo type graphics just for the sake of it.

New deck graphics on the way,  give it 2 weeks I recon!

Peace AD ..
