How to make killer art for skateboards? Embrace the power of limited colors.
For a design like "The Devil and the Damned"—a classic example of the vibrant, colorful pop art that defines the Simeone Graphix style—you might be surprised to learn that limiting your color palette can actually maximize your optical impact!
The Pro Tip for Production: Many professional printing methods for decks, especially screen printing, rely on a specific number of colors (often 4 to 6). Instead of using countless subtle shades, concentrate on highly saturated, contrasting colors. This limited palette creates maximum impact, ensuring your art is bold and readable even from a distance. The intense reds, blues, and yellows on this deck are no accident! This is key when learning how to make art for skateboards that truly pop.

Gorgeous colors in the sky...my quick trip to the docks at the marina was short-lived...on my way down the dock I saw a sign "Parking permit required. Violators will be ticketed and towed." So it was a hurry up and shoot...
As I left I saw a visitor's parking sign...I shall return!

Randy and the TKO Graphix group are great people. I met them at one of my seminars, and they have always treated me with hospitality when I am in the Indy area.
