Added the last color to the Cathode Ray deck. I’m taking a day off from printing but should be back tomorrow with the first color on the new ICBM.
Yellow and blue
Ran two colors today, the final blue on the Screamer tribute and yellow on the Cathode Ray graphic.
Nosey
Only got to one print today, nose jobs. Hot as balls here in Oregon. Did a few experimental prints with a new ink. Tomorrow I’ll see how it worked out.
Stuck like glue
I had planned to add colors to two different designs today but on opening the yellow ink I found it had turned the consistency of stale silly putty. I tried to reconstitute it but it was a lost cause. So only one board to show today. Now I’m scrambling to find a good source water based GP inks. Nazdar has a poor selection of colors.
Blue tube
I only had time to get to one design today. I added the second color of four to the design being used on our 8.5″ and 8.25″ decks. Here the blue film taped onto a printed board so I can line up the screen.
One color a day
I usually wait until the boards are all done before showing pictures, but this time I’m going to post the new art as it gets laid down on the board. yesterday I started two designs, the Park Bomb and our popsicle/square tail graphic.
Going to be very busy…
It’s going to be a busy week or two at Cold War HQ.
Above Coping and Groovie Ghoulies
We did another small run for Above Coping a couple weeks ago. There’s some unrelated nostalgia burned into those screens.
Dadcam Video Snippet
Our friend Mike Egbert from Merde Skateboards put together a short video with a couple of Cold War riders. Some of those guys look pretty good. Thanks Eggs!
