Art appreciation

Color from gray scale

Some of the guys on Skull and Bones are taking the grayscale Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust Santa Cruz reissues and adding their own color. Some are truly remarkable. Some people use paint pens or markers, while others sand the decks first, then apply color. Amazing craftsmanship. Click here to see a comparison, but you have to see the full size images to fully appreciate them.

    Now there’s an idea - issue color-by-numbers decks with a set of markers.

    I can’t even imagine how long some of those would take to do. Fantastic work though.

    huuh??, please to explain how that is “weak”. They love the original decks but can’t afford them. It’s freaking amazing work and must have taken literally weeks. I think it rules.

  7. the dude Says:

    i think they are fucking up a good re-issue board, why don’t they think up their own designs instead of bitting others?

    ok, ok, the kendall deck is OK>>>>>>>…….
