Any ideas on custom topsheets?

So for my senior project i'm making some skis and i need some help on the top sheet graphics. I really like line sir francis bacon skis the last 2 years:

So I'm looking for something simple but cool. I could either do a picture on the topsheet or have my girlfriend paint/draw something. I'd rather have my girlfriend paint/draw something cause i think it'd be cooler and its cheaper. Any ideas?

Draw a bunch of dicks and unicorns and rainbows and ballsacks and asses and semen and gay stuff, and name it the Justin Bieber pro model.
 
What about a topsheet that is completely white, with extremely thin lines of color on it (so your skis blend in with the snow.) And then the base would have really bright, neon colors. Almost like a reverse ski.
 
I would suggest doing something simple and cheap on your first pair, as it is unlikely that they will turn out how you want them to. Cotton fabric under a clear p-tex is always a good choice. We also just put some leaves under clear p-tex over a bambbo core and it turned out great. Also, do you know about coda boards? They do a great job printing at a good price for small quantites of topsheets.
 
for my senior project i wanted to do this, but i have a problem. how are you making the heat press, because that is the part i am struggling with.

 
I def dig the neon bases. They look so sick on snow. Kinda like it lights up the surrounding snow. And I dig the thin lines of color idea, but instead of white I'd say matte black. The colors would pop more.
 
Dude you just inspired an even better idea. The colt45 logo and then billy dee williams in his lando calrissian outfit sayin "does it every time!"
 
as said above, copius amounts of weed leaves, OR copius amounts of 100$ bills. or both. that would be a sick topsheet.
