Created for a good friend. He wanted a large toon-graphic to be laminated on the nose of his surfboard (that was custom built for his son). The graphic was printed and laminated under the clear coat on a short-board.

The circular graphic border decoration is a Samoan tribal pattern called Siapo art. The elements have meanings and stories behind them that represent their families. I was instructed by my friend as to what graphic-icons to use.

Created with Adobe Illustrator @ around 16 hours (went through several updates and variations).
