Greetings!
With so many awesome custom chips designed by fellow PCF members, was inspired to come up with my own. It took a little while to think of a theme that would have some personal meaning to me and some of my long-time friends. As a throwback to my adolescence, I chose to go with Vato Rat for the inlay (artist Craig Stecyk) popularized in the early 1980's by skate boarding company Powell Perelta. It reminds me of Junior High and my rebel years lol. "Rat Bones" AKA Vato Rat, is an iconic image of early 80's skateboarding and one that any of my oldest friends will readily recognize- to me, it's very nostalgic. How many of you are familiar with it?
Originally I saw it as black and white when my buddy asked me to do it in color. Next thing I know, I've done about a dozen iterations. The original inlay is white with the black image and the original "BONES" across the top which I eventually cropped out leaving just the Rat Bones image and added denominations.
I'd like to see a design of it with an inner ring design of some sort but I have no idea how to do that haha. If anyone knows of a tool where I can make this happen, please let me know! Additionally, I'd love to hear your feedback and I'm not sensitive to critiques
Designing and posting this makes me feel like I'm becoming part of the community here. Thanks so much for checking it out.
