: KEVIN CHRISTY + HANDSOME :

Kevin Christy is talented.  On top of being a sickeningly prolific artist he has acting and comedy chops.  Frankly, I don't know how it is possible to do all these things well.  He does. Kevin's art is immediate, detailed, surreal, and sometimes raw.  You may have seen his work in many fine galleries or in publications like VICE, The New York Times, & The Atlantic. Enjoy lots of tantalizing details of his artwork on Instagram (@kevingchristy) and insight into his mind on Twitter (@kevingchristy). I'm excited he agreed to collaborate on a deck with HANDSOME.

Kevin chose the TOOTHY shape on which to work.  The result speaks for itself.  Acrylic and ink on natural bottom sheet.  Acrylic and ink circles logo with custom 'STUDIO' brand on striated blue-green top sheet.  7 ply North American maple, pressed in these United States.

You won't find a better deal on something this great. Pick it up in the s t o r e  > > > > > > > > >

: DAN METH + HANDSOME :

Dan Meth is an animator, cartoonist, illustrator, and the list goes on. Never without a sketchbook, he is as prolific and creative a man as you're likely to encounter.  Dan is the creator of a ridiculous amount of web cartoons, animations, and series that have been seen by tens of millions (seriously) including The Meth Minute & Nite Fite.  You've probably seen his Pop Culture Charts & can see his work regularly on College Humor among many other places too numerous to list.  When I first met Dan I thought he was shifty, turns out he was just quietly absorbing the world around him so it could be pushed out through his strange filter.

Dan's collaboration with HANDSOME is another in the SUGARTOWN series of STUDIO decks. Working on the ANGLE cruiser shape, a totem of odd characters from Dan's universe tumble out. Hand-painted acrylic bottom sheet.  Ink and acrylic logo with custom 'SUGARTOWN' brand over bright green dyed top sheet.  7 ply North American maple, pressed in the USA.
