These kick-ass snowboard designs by Alexis Marcou show a real talent for hand-drawn illustration. I’ve never snowboarder before, but I was always fascinated at how each board became an artist’s canvas. The same holds true for skateboards. These particular boards will probably never see the slopes, but they exhibit a level of captivation that comes from the fusion of engineering and art.
Marcou’s hand-work is precise and imaginative. I’m guessing the skulls and scenes are first drafted with pencil and illustration markers, then filled in with layers of watercolor and gouaches. You can see some of the process images below. Great work, Alexis!
