The TARQ


This is the skateboard I have designed to embody my concepts of color-motion for my thesis. It is being made as a collaboration with Bustin Boards who are famous for their custom graphics and colors.

Patterns were laser cut into the top two layers of ply, then the interior edges of the cavities were painted different colors so that when the board is viewed from different angles there are different color expressions. When one moves the board there is a wonderful color shifting effect. In the cavities I have also put highly reflective mylar, which increases the effect and even gives the illusion that there are holes all the way through the board when viewed from afar.

The bottom of the board is not yet complete and hardware will be added. I will keep you posted on the progress.
