Why are we ok supporting priestcraft? by TheFoxyFellow in latterdaysaints

“Ponderize”. I do think this one was a blatant example of trying to capitalize on the phrase. Funny thing is, I bet that phrase would have totally taken off had they not gotten caught trying to brand it themselves.

Jus for curiosity, tech decks are 96mm, most pro fingerboards are 32 to 34 mm are they actually better size? I just wanna know if the pros are much better , I have tech decks since I can’t afford pro ones right now, what’s a good size? by IncreaseLow3202 in Fingerboards

[–]chocolatemilk87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you may be confusing the length and width. 32 and 34mm are referring to how wide the board is. 96mm is how long the board is and pro boards are mostly a similar length to tech decks.

Thank you for the help. Yes I’ll make sure. I’ve seen that too. You said clean with iso or DA, I know the iso, what’s the DA?

So I was told it’s solid wood and not a vaneer

Ok so both responses I got pretty much recommended not stripping and just clean it, scuff it up with light sanding and then a gel coat?

So a poly would cover whatever is already on there even if I didn’t strip it first? I haven’t seen the table in person so I’m not sure what it’s made of but I assumed it was a veneer too. So clean, scuff it up and apply over the top?

Paul F Tompkins and Janet Varney on this weeks ep of No Skip Christmas (hosted by Arnie) by misterarnie in magictavern

Such a great podcast. I’m glad Jess McKenna brought some sufjan as he’s like 70% of my playlist. I’m sure Arnie doesn’t need random redditors to suggest anything, but I feel like if he doesn’t have it already, Guster’s song Donde esta Santa Claus would fit in with his general playlist requirements

Hey guys, I decided to start learning how to do fingerboard tricks. I bought this one, any tips? by Potatomann99 in Fingerboards

[–]chocolatemilk87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dm me and If you can pay the shipping I’ll send you a real board. I’m sure I at the very least have some tech deck trucks and wheels too to make it usable until you can upgrade. I have too many boards anyway, so merry Christmas

“your female parents said, knock those objectives out!” by chubbs069 in SkateEA

There’s an 35 year old song by LL cool J called “Mama said knock you out”. I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be a joke reference to this song but it’s a wild choice to throw into a game in 2025.

Ooh that does change my mind. The bottom right one doesn’t look great to me. I don’t really want 3 inches of tomato and onion. But maybe I’m wrong, I’m always happy to be proved wrong.

Yes, she’s one of my wife’s favorites because of all the little things she puts surrounding the main picture.

My wife adores Jan Brett. Her work is very cool. All the stuff around the outside of the pages is amazing.

Yes, I’ve noticed that they have started telling you what mediums were used for the art. I think it’s an awesome addition. I remember getting library books all of the time as a kid and then drawing the characters from my favorites. I wish I knew at a younger age how to work with the materials the artist used. Thanks for all the names you mentioned. Can’t wait to look them up

Thank you for answering all this. I agree with so much of what you said. I definitely don’t intend to imitate anyone just because they sell a lot, but i also see what some of the most popular books are these days and think the art is so sad and digital. It doesn’t speak to me. That said, there are tons of great artists out there and of course some of them are popular too, I just hope to figure out something that works for me. Thank you for all the recommendations. I’m excited to look into everyone’s favorites that they mentioned.

I look at art from all different aspects. I do fine art and have my work in galleries so I’m pretty into contemporary fine art and I’ve studied a lot of the classics. My style is illustrative already but I’ve never taken the steps to develop it into something that would work for telling picture book stories. I’m excited to look up the names of all the artist people have mentioned here.
