Since the hip-hop monster first came into being in the 1980′s there’s been some changes to the tenants living in its house. Rap, graffiti, and breakdancing have always been kings in the kingdom – now pay heed to skateboarding as well. Skateboarding has been synonymous with spraypaint graffiti since its own birth and culmination into a street-worthy activity from all the way back in the 70′s through the 90′s where the many different forms of skateboarding were all at their height. Remember when Tony Hawk first pulled off the 900? That shit was awesome. Now let’s take a look at a project by graffiti artist D-Face that ties skateboarding and graffiti together for a new modern age.

What’s going on here, essentially, is that D-Face (and crew) have devised a way to attach spraypaint cans to the bottoms of skateboards, these cans then remotely controlled and able to spray paint on command. They’re spraying a pool on commission and, by the looks of it, are creating pathways that skaters of the future will be following for years to come. Look like a pool you’d like to drop into? Or would you have a massive headache after 10 minutes and fall down and bust your arm and head right the heck open?

This apparently has been a dream of D-Face’s for some time now, culminating here in this “Ridiculous Pool” project documented in this video. Attach paint to a device, make the device move, find a way for the paint to exude as the device moves. When you’re making something like this happen, it’s the middle part of the project that matters the most.
