This is board that I painted for Britt. She sucked the actual surprise out of me one night, but seeing the actual board was still a very big surprise. There is some history to this image. About 5 years ago or something, Brittainy asked me to draw her a tattoo of some pointe shoes. I searched the internet high and low to find out as much as I could about these 'special' shoes that she wore when she danced. (She is a dancer) I ended up drawing them in black and grey and she actually got the image I drew tattooed on her shoulder blade. So now, all this time later we start dating. Weird right. Perhaps, but awesome! Valentine's Day rapidly approaches and I take this whole painting on skateboards thing i've been doing for the last little while and mix it with something that has connections to both her and I. It took me 3 sittings to complete this board and I must say I think it's the best painting i've ever done. She loved it. I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's Day gift than the smile that was on her face when I gave it to her. It was a great weekend. I'll post more on it soooooon!
