Skateboard Wraps for SeeSaw Studios

Durham, NC - The Cranky Team and SeeSaw Studio were recently involved in a skateboard design workshop in downtown Durham. The summer workshop ran for a week and attendees consisted of 12 designers ranging from 12-18 years old.

Cranky donated materials, time, and some cash to the workshop. Mr. Cranky, Keoni Denison, gave a PowerPoint presentation on each step in the printing process. Each attendee prepped, designed, and installed their board. Our lead designer, Thien Lu, gave a wrap install class on how to effectively wrap a skateboard.

Founded in 1998, SeeSaw provides various workshops and apprenticeships for youth in the areas of Design, Entrepreneurship, Art, and Life Skills. They primarily work to assist adolescents from low-income families find the career guidance and training required to be successful in their desired area of focus. SeeSaw promots the 4 C's: Confidence, Collaboration, Creativity, and Community.

The Cranky Team had a wonderful time working with the kids and leaders of SeeSaw Studio. There is already talk of a couple of the board designs being produced on a larger scale and sold through local businesses to help support and grow the studio's efforts.

** WARNING THIS BLOG MAY GENERATE MIND BLOWING MARKETING CAMPAIGNS **



Welcome everyone to Cranky Creative's new Wrap Happy blog. We are based out of Durham, NC, but entertain everyone on the web and around the nation! In this blog, I will cover our wrap adventures wrapping portajohns at midnight, sneaking around malls executing guerilla marketing campaigns, hanging from buildings installing a 150' building wrap! Oh, and clever marketing and advertising campaigns too(ours and others).

Most recently we have been contracted by Pepsi Bottling Ventures of Raleigh to do a wrap project at the USS Battleship Museum in Wilmington, NC. For this project we combined medias and created a cross-over wall/floor mural so the tourists would believe they were walking on spilled Pepsi from the exploding bottle on the wall above :-) Check it out!



If you visit the USS Battleship Museum after February 18th, you can see this incredible project. If you want, ask for Captain Dave, or Roger to congratulate them on their incredible room :-) Oh, and ask them about the ship hauntings too...
