Fishbone

You knew this was coming. After the overwhelming response from the Fishbone shirt we did recently, I figured it was only natural to suggest a board. Originally I proposed using the image we did for the shirt and rework it into a skate deck. Charles very casually suggested the fish logo was very close to the proportions of a board anyway, so maybe something using that could work. Great idea Charles! It did need a bit of retooling, which is where my Sharpie came in. Honestly, once the idea was set, we banged out and approved this deck in maybe an hour. It was that good of an idea, and everyone acknowledged it! I couldn’t be happier giving the classic fish logo a reimagining, and it sure is a looker! Thanks so much. -Chris Shary

I became a fan of Fishbone after scoring “Truth and Soul” off a girl on the bus in 9th grade. That album played a major role in getting me into “Punk” or whatever. It was 1989 and I was completely obsessed with Hip Hop at the time. Bands like Fishbone, Bad Brains, and Beastie Boys smoothed my transition into more abrasive, weird rock music. I was a BMX/ Skate kid, so I was around a ton of hardcore and alt rock all the time, I just didn’t feel it yet…I definitely felt Fishbone.

It wasn’t easy, but we managed to sort out the logistics and get this one signed by the band and Chris. By the time you get one of these beauties, they’ve been from one end of North America and back time or two. Thanks to everyone for working with us to make this one happen! -Charles Cardello/ Bifocal Media
