Skateboard Design

By Charlie Dulyakarn 1745

                This artwork series is an abstract graphic artwork that being design to apply for skateboards. The idea or inspiration of the characters is from the game called “Touhou Project”. The style is portrait in neoplasticism, which is one of the abstract types of artwork, that been created in early 20^th century by Dutch painter Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrain.

                The artwork technique is inspire from the artwork of Mona Lisa that been portrait in neoplasticism with several of colours. Then this artwork started from draw all the characters.  Then later change into another abstract work familiar with Picasso’s artworks which make distortion to the character into weird shapes. Applied the lines randomly, to created neoplasticism.

                In together, there are 2 abstract styles applied into a single artwork. This artwork is series which means that each skateboard have connection to each other. All skateboards have continuity that connect between each other, and they all being filled in colours. There are many colours in this series, but there are six main colours which are Yellow, Blue, Red, Gray, Purple and White. The colours become composition of this artwork and each skateboard, exclude white, have 1 main colour applied. They make variation and difference. The artwork itself has balance and unbalance in it. The balance is the position of the character and the things such as colours and lines becomes unbalance.

                This artwork has limited target audience. The audiences are the people who like the abstract style of this artwork and people who know the characters series.
