Custom snowboard design

Jonathan Hull has posted pictures of his beautiful custom snowboard design. The detail makes the piece radiate with energy.

After a couple years remaining on the list of portfolio projects to accomplish, I’ve finally succeeded in finalizing a snowboard design and sent it to production. Between obligations to client work and a perfectionist block about making the prime design, the project crept along for some time. About a year ago I got involved playing with fermat spirals and checking out surfboard patterns (which I often find to be more interesting in their streamlined design than the cacophony that sometimes clutters snowboards). Unfortunately, by the time I got enjoying those patterns, it was well into January and paying projects took center stage well into spring. Obviously, I’m a bit late this year, but at least there’s still plenty of boardable weeks remaining in the season.”

The text of this book

I was reading a story to my daughter this evening and noticed that within the copyright information inside the front cover, the author has chosen to include information about the typeface used. I wish all books had this information.

If you’re interested, the book is Gossie by Olivier Dunrea and it’s a wonderful book.
