Birdhouse Board




I was thinking about ways in which I could make an image 'change' or interact with the movement of the board. I thought about all the possible ways a board can move and the most obvious was of course the humble kickflip. Thinking about imagery I was immediately reminded of those bird in a cage paddle tricks you see in very cheap magic sets and christmas crackers. Of course, this idea requires both sides of the board to be decorated which raises the problem of one side classically requiring the application of black 'grip tape'. I figured the only way the concept could work is if both sides were the same colour  and so I set about painting both sides yellow.
