LAST CALL FOR SKATEBOARD DECKS

Today is your last chance to pre-order & secure a skateboard deck from my Garfield Pussy Extraction series, the pre-orders stop at midnight tonight and after that, what stock is left will go on general sale in the morning.

Today is your last chance to pre-order & secure a skateboard deck from my Garfield Pussy Extraction series, the pre-orders stop at midnight tonight and after that, what stock is left will go on general sale in the morning.

*PLEASE NOTE ALL PRE-ORDERS & GENERAL SALE SKATEBOARD ORDERS WILL SHIP FROM FEBRUARY THE 14TH.

Honestly I’m overwhelmed by the support I’ve had for the skateboard decks, I ordered 90 expecting to maybe sell 20 as I’ve never launched a skateboard deck and slowly sell through the decks over the year. I’m blown away by the response, at current count I’m down to less than 10 decks across all three of the boards… absolutely mental.

The best thing about you all copping a skateboard deck from me is that I now get to re-invest the small amount of profit I’ve made and put it into more products & ideas (which some of you have kindly sent across, if I can I will btw), I’m still a small tiny store attached to a small independent design studio all run by one man & his awesome dog. Every sale I make goes back into either the business or into my stomach in some shape or form, so to nearly sell out of 90 decks is a monumental achievement for me.

So what’s up next ?

I’m going to be rather busy packing and shipping orders over the next two weeks & I will also be super busy working on some more client projects over the coming weeks, but this month I actually officially turn two years old as an official business, and to celebrate I’m going on holiday… I need it!

The store and everything will still be running during my three week break but projects and new products to my store will be on hold until I return. Once im back I will be launching some interesting football pieces with 1874 Northwick & gearing up for summer with a new selection of tees.

Thanks for reading, if you have anything to say drop it in the comments or drop me an email.

Online Store - Now Open

At last i get to say I am open for business, Yesterday i dropped my first ever print collection from some of the work i have been busy creating for the best part of a year. The first ten illustration prints that have dropped in the store are from the Jumper For Goalposts series, a celebration of my love of football shirt design, but reimagined in the Nope way (the same but different).

The initial season of prints includes the teams listed below and in the follow up collection releases, i will be releasing an even wider selection of teams & nation prints from the series.

Ajax, Arsenal, England, Man United, Liverpool & Fiorentina are the initial prints for season 1, if you have requests for season 2 drop me an email from the contact form
