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.

One does not simply ask someone to sig a post that they made.

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.

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.

You don't necessarily need heat, just use a room temp cure epoxy.  Or use silicone heat blankets.

as said above, copius amounts of weed leaves, OR copius amounts of 100$ bills. or both. that would be a sick topsheet.
