Behold a public peek at the first design, in a new series of tees by Formation… likely to be printed on American Apparel Organic Tees. Nobody who is nobody won’t be wearing one. Excuse the triple negative.

Formation Skateboards has an attractive new site featuring an unattractive old man (left). Lorenzo (right) has become a founder figure to me:

I was fourteen years old when I approached my middle school art teacher, Todd Marrone, with the idea of starting my own skateboard company. Six year later, we have evolved into a new kind of skateboard brand. Formation offers limited quantity products created by a network of artists from all over the world. Each and every Formation deck, is crafted in a small batch and will never be reproduced again.

Here’s a sneak glimpse of an upcoming line of hand-screened cruisers designed for Formation Skateboards. The overall graphic is based on the fan favorite from 2010’s Custom Cruiser show at Exit Skateshop. The chest hair is loosely based on my own.

Fortunately, frequent Phrequency contributor and phenominal photographer, Tiffany Yoon, was on hand to capture Saturday night’s Formation festivities.
