DIGGIN IN THE CRATES


SO FTC WILL BE DOING A TECHDECK FOR THE KIDDIES AND I NEEDED TO DIG DEEP INTO THE DECK GRAPHIC CRATES AND FOUND THESE.
MY FIRST DECK I DID WAS IN 05 SHEESH! IT WAS CALLED THE FOGTOWN CAMO DECK. ROSS AND I CAME UP WITH THAT SHIT, I EVEN RAN THAT IN A ADDICT COLLAB WE DID TOO.
SECOND DECK WAS THE AMBIGRAM DECK, FUNNY STORY MY MOM WAS READING ANGELS AND DEMONS BACK IN 06 AND SHE SAW THESE COOL LETTER FORMS CALLED AMBIGRAMS. I WAS INSPIRED AND DID A FTC ONE THAT TURNED INTO A PATTERN.
THIRD DECK WAS MY JAPANESE INSPIRED "NINJATOOTH" DECK. I GUESS I WAS INTO PATTTERNS.
FOURTH DECK WAS THE FAMILY FIRST CONCEPT I DID WITH JIM FROM FRISCO TATTOO.
FIFTH DECK WAS MY SF INSPIRED MINI DECK FOR THE CHILDREN. PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD LOVE THIS GRAPHIC WISH WE HAD MORE.
THE SIXTH DECK WAS A SIMPLE TRAIN DECK THIS WAS A NICE HIT WITH THE KIDS.
THE SEVENTH DECK WAS KENT'S IDEA, HE FOUND THIS ONLINE AT EBAY, ITS AN ACTUAL SCHEMATIC DRAWING OF THE FIRST SKATEBOARD PRETTY NICE!
AND FINALLY THE LATEST DECK, THE TAPEDECK. THIS IS MY NOD TO THE OLD MIXTAPES WE USED TO LISTEN TO BACK IN THE DAY. GOOD MEMORIES OF SOME MAXELL'S 90MIN.
ANYWAYS A LITTLE HISTORY FOR YALL.

FALL 10 TEE DESIGNS I DID FOR FTC

HERE'S A COUPLE OF THE NEW TEES I DID...MY ODE TO MY MAN JORDAN IT'S WHAT I CALL KICKMAN AND THE 2-3 STANDS FOR 23 YEARS OF FTC, THE TRIPLESTAR LOGO IS SOME NEW BIKE ISH, AND THE DEEP-V IS SOME SIMPLE SHIT FOR CATS TO ROCK.
