Imaone, tokyo graff writer demonstrates how to create clean vector lines from hand-drawn graffiti, which can be used to decorate a skateboard deck.The first graffiti styles exploded onto the shores of Japan almost 20 years ago. With styles evolving and splitting across the island, Japanese graff work is no longer simply an imitation of Western designs: today’s writers are breaking the mould, creating as a means of self expression rather than just in the name of graffiti.
This project, show how to create an authentic-looking Japanese design of your own that can be transferred to a skateboard deck. It might seem easier to draw the letters – which here spell ‘Imaone’ – straight onto the board by hand, but I often use the method described over the following pages because I enjoy outputting perfect vector lines through the more analogue method of silkscreening. Only basic design software skills are required, but you will need a steady hand and plenty of patience!
