In my Advanced drawing and design class we were assigned to make our own skateboard graphic.  I decided to paint a bear because it's the mascot of Berkeley.  The top says Ride the Lightning, the name of a Metallica song, making one think of all the potential radical maneuvers this one skateboard deck holds.  The bear says 510akland.  I was born in oakland and the local skate shop is called 510.  I continued with the theme of the deck with a custom grip tape job.  Used only paint pens for the graphic.
