A series of screen-printed posters exploring the graphic language of surfboard tail shapes — designed, printed, and framed by hand for a group art show in New Jersey.
Surfboard tails are functional objects with distinct, elegant silhouettes — squash, pin, swallow, fish. Reducing them to geometric abstraction through halftone layers and overlapping color felt like a natural translation: the same way a shaper reads a template, a designer reads form and negative space. Each print was produced manually, from separating color layers to pulling the screens.
It's the kind of project that only happens outside of a client brief — and it's where some of the most honest design thinking occurs.
