Bye to the bamboo crew!

So kids, farewell time!! This will be my last post.. I was lucky enough to get a job as a designer at Fox Racing and have already begun on that whole new journey.. I will miss the bamboo crew, and the fun crazy work environment, I had a ball and learnt a lot about how start-up businesses operate in this tough industry- was experience ‘behind the scenes’ that you definitely wouldn’t get at any of the bigger boys within the action sports industry.
I started my internship on the other side of the world- in Australia- and ended my bambosk8 journey here in Oceanside, CA. Just proves that you can be anywhere in the world and gain valuable experience- as long as you have skype!! While I was at bamboosk8 I worked on graphic promo material and I helped develop the new and improved website which will be launching soon, keep your eye out for it..
So thanks to everyone – Geoff for giving me a chance on the other side of the world, and thanks to all the interns- you guys are awesome and do a great job!
Will miss you all,
Krystie

ps
If you want to see some sexy bamboo decks I will be featured in a skateboard art exhibition down in San Diego on the 1st July, the gig is at ‘Taproom’ and will feature different artists from SD and OC- mark D- another intern, will also be in it so come along!

Website comin along nicely!

Hey kids!

Krystie here… i’m a newbie (well kind of) here at BambooSK8, all the way from the land down under!! Im an Aussie who gets a hard time around here for my accent, but im slowly teaching the crew some good quality Australian slang :)

So a bit about me- im a graphic artist, i make things look pretty, and i love to paint. I’m currently working on a brand spankin new look for our website, so keep an eye out! I work on anything from labels, brochures, advertisements, logos, stickers, websites.. and lots more. I also paint boards, this image shows you one of them- they will be available for purchase if you are interested.

So i’m super excited about the long boards that will be coming out soon- you should be too!

I will upload new board images as I finish them- hope you like
