Fifty Fifty 10 Years Strong
Friday 14 September, 2007
Absolutely honoured to be able to do this, a board graphic for the legendary store Fifty Fifty right 'ere in Bristol.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know they've been going 10 years strong, and myself, Richt, Paris & Sam Barett did a board graphic each to accompany the 5050 x Vans Half-cab shoe, 5050 x New Era Hat, wheels, tee's & more!
I wanted to run with the theme of 'time', as it's such a big thing to be going 10 years but at the start I was well stuck, wanting to do something different to my normal style but unsure what, until the idea of a cuckoo clock struck my wee mindtank.
I didnt think I could pull it off, to be honest with you, as Cuckoo Clocks are so intricate, I didnt think I could match it. Many many hours with the pen tool later and here we are...!
See how many skate bits you can spot on the clock...
The Board is available to buy online right now from the 5050 online store, for the very reasonable price of £39.99..

Massive thank you to Danny & Syd for the opportunity to do this, make sure you check out all the other new dope stuff on the 50 site:
along with Lil Pete's photos from the show / party and my photo's from that night too!

Fifty Fifty 10 Years Strong
Wednesday 18 July, 2007
I can't describe how overwhelmed I was when asked by Danny if I'd like to design a skateboard deck for Fifty Fifty's 10 year anniversary in August, to join Richt's & Paris' boards.
Obviously I wanted it to be the best thing I've done and after a long time and a lot of vector love, I finished my 'Cuckoo' board. I personally think it's a very different style for me and I cannot wait to hold the printed thing in my hand.
I don't want to give it all away until it's actually unveiled at the 10 year party along side the Fifty Fifty x Vans shoe, New era hat and tonnes of exclusive clothing! You can have this tiny sneak peak though...
Stay tuned to Fifty's website for more details, add them on MySpace too!
