Swampy.


Swamp Thing.

I found two ads for Snot Wheels that I liked and put together a week of creations by Mark "Fos" Foster. He's been running Heroin Skateboards since 1998 and probably does the graphic design for your favorite company or pro. The egg shaped wide boards by Heroin have been extremely popular the last couple of years. They aren't really cup of tea, but I'm happy to see a lifer like Fos make something that a lot of people enjoy.

It snowed this weekend and I had a head cold so no skateboarding once again.

In the UK (where Fos is obviously from) 'Swampy' became a nationally famous environmentalist who buried himself underground to stop roads and airports being built. If you're interested you can wiki him - Swampy (environmentalist). Not sure where he got the name from.

That's interesting. I'd never heard of the UK Swampy. This Swampy is from California.

There was also a graffiti artist who drew these wild skulls called Swampy from about 10-15 years ago. Maybe he still draws them.
