: TOM FORGET + HANDSOME :

I'm excited to release HANDSOME's first in a series of collaborative decks featuring art from some talented friends. The artwork on each is one-of-a-kind, done the old fashioned way, on a hand-shaped HANDSOME deck with a unique logo.  Artist decks ship with a museum quality deck display bracket though we'd love it if you set it aside and put the deck into service.

Tom Forget is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY and my brother 'till death.  Tom skated poorly until all of his friends got driver's licenses. Now he likes to draw the types of things that the skaters in his Rhode Island neighborhood would have had on their metal t-shirts in 1988. His illustrations, design, writings, and reviews have been found in places like BUST Magazine, Esquire.com, Movies.com, Sunday Bikes, and FEEDING GROUND (Archaia Comics).

Tom chose, aptly, our METAL shape on which to do his work. Acrylic and ink over amber dyed bottom sheet.  Ink and acrylic logo and detailing on black top sheet. 7-ply North American Maple, pressed in the USA, as always. Find it in the STORE >>>>
