A skeletal witch works her dangerous black magic… for what purpose? The design was for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition. If you haven’t heard of it, basically russefeiring involves an entire class of Norwegian students renting a bus (a Russebuss), painting every inch of it with really cool street art, and then partying in it night and day for an entire month during graduation. The different classes wear their designs ever where they go as they clash with rival classes. I’ve done a bunch of these now, and really enjoy it.

Drew an original sharpie ink drawing on the back of one of my metallic foil Skeleton Gunslinger disc golf discs at the request of a really cool customer. They wanted a nod to Doc Holiday so I slapped a big mustache on him. Tricky to draw on this slippery plastic surface! Learned the hard way to put a towel underneath while I’m drawing, otherwise the foil side will scratch!#skull #skeleton #discgolf #discgolfdisc #discraft #sharpie #sharpiedrawing
