Special Projects

The artistic talent and energy are the soul of Index Ink. These special projects are the visual rewards of sleepless nights, pushing pencils and slinging paint around the clock.

ROLLIN' ON ART

Here at Index Ink we have always loved cars, trucks, bikes, really anything that can move. The VW tuning scene has a huge creative element to it and seemed like perfect fit for the kick off of the I.T.W projects.

Our Latest project in the works is a 2010 VW GTI. It's still in the kustomizing process and will be finished just in time to hit the shows and events Index will attend this summer. Most notably so far are the one off custom hand painted wheels done by Chad Carothers featuring iconic Index Ink art. More doodles to come...

SURF EXPO LIVE ART INSTALLATION

This multi canvas art installation was carried out by Chad over the course of three days at Surf Expo in Orlando Florida. The weather proved to be a challenge with 300% sticky humidity, crazy thunderstorms and more humidity. It gave the paints a life of their own taken substantialy longer to dry. Despite the set backs, Chad came through the last day and the results speak for themselves. Finished size is approx. 12’ x 5’ - Acrylic on Canvas.
