Initial lettering sketches in pencil. Please excuse the casual set-up of these pictures; I took them on the highway somewhere in Kansas, while on a road trip. When I wasn't driving, I was working on the board.
Initial sketch of lettering for "c'est la vie"
Initial sketch for lettering of "shit happens"
Planning for the texture that will create the negative space for "shit happens."
The finished board. Unfortunately, these pictures were taken about 2 months after completion, and the daily wear across two months is apparent on the edges. The design is in Sharpie, but optimally should have a coat of resin to seal it against the elements and wear.
