From early on in the project, I knew I wanted to incorporate bees in the laser engraving. I first envisioned a tiling pattern that would go across the skateboard, but decided later on that I wanted to use a typical art piece rather than a pattern.
Technique:
I found this bee illustration by Vexels that was free for non-commercial use with credit, and knew that it would look amazing on a skateboard deck. I brought the image into the Illustrator template file, used image trace to vectorize it, and deleted what I didn't need. I then sent the file off to the machine shop to be engraved.
Materials:
I used a wooden skateboard deck I bought on Amazon for this project.
