The holidays are a time for love. Love between men. Even famous, imaginary ones. Famous Man Love! Here is a holiday deck brought to you by Antihero, based upon last year’s “Let Them Marry” deck for Jeff Grosso. Only a limited number of these were made for this year’s holiday season, so waltz on down to your local skateshop and see if they had the balls to order a few. Happy Holidays everyone!
Out today is a collection of new pigeon paintings called “The Dirty Dozen,” a set of 12 small format paintings available from Equal Dist. Each is 5″ x 7″, signed, ink and watercolor on paper. They’ll make a remarkable gift for the person who has everything. We had a waiting list on these, as announced on Instagram (@toddfrancisart and @equaldist), but there are still several available. You can see all 12 paintings at www.equaldist.com/collections/todd-francis and contact yongki@equaldist.com for inquiries.
Out now as part of Antihero’s Fall Drop 3 is the Hoarder Hero pro set, with decks for Trujillo, Julien and Gerwer. Finally a set of decks that gives you a look into the glitzy, glamorous lifestyle of your favorite pro skaters. To see these and tons more fun, including a new video conversation between Jeff Grosso and Robbie Russo, go to antihero skateboards.com right now. Its very important.
Now available is my new HUF x Todd Francis “Fuckhead” capsule. Consisting of tees, long sleeve tees, hoodies, hats and socks, this collection can be purchased at the HUF online store and at select HUF retailers. See it here: http://store.hufworldwide.com/collections/huf-x-todd-francis-halloween-pack Designed to release around Halloween, its my latest work with my longtime friends at HUF.

In stores now from Antihero is Part 2 of the sprawling Great Moments in Vagrant History pro set, a vast saga examining some of history’s most important chapters in vagrancy. Histories of transportation, pottery, foraging, print media and cardboard are explored, as well as history’s first underwear blowout. Decks for noted scholars Grant Taylor, Andy Roy, Peter Hewitt, John Cardiel and Raney Beres round out the set. Get yours before history passes you by.
Out now is issue 48 of Monster Children, and Stereo co-founder Jason Lee is the Guest Editor. I was asked to compile my favorite J Lee decks of all time, along with Mark McKee, Sean Cliver, Andy Jenkins, Christian Cooper and Chris Pastras, and the result was a four page piece where we all took turns talking about the fun we had developing graphics at our various companies with the man of the hour, Jason Lee.

Out this week is the Flock of Pigeons pro set for Antihero, with decks for Andrew Allen, Frank Gerwer and Chris Pfanner. Our favorite flock of goofy birds stumble over used chow mein, street needles and severed ears. Sure to delight young and old equally, these new decks are in shops now. But that’s not all! Go to http://www.antiheroskateboards.com/catalog/fall15/ to see the full offerings from the Antihero Fall Drop 2, including the second half of my seemingly endless Great Moments in Vagrant History pro set AND a brief but highly insightful conversation between Julien Stranger and myself about god, dog, and Donald …
As part of my ongoing monthly observance of weird and dopey holidays for Monster Children, I present to you September’s holiday, International Mung Day. Its truly repulsive, and I take no responsibility for this, I blame Jason Crombie, MC’s editor in chief, who invented the holiday and penned the accompanying article. To see the combined article and illustration in all their ghastly glory, go to http://www.monsterchildren.com/38412/international-mung-day/ This might be the worst piece of art i’ve ever done, and that’s really saying something.
One of the four new 5″ x 7″ pigeon paintings that were part of a recent commission. Another small group of these will be available soon, email yongki@equaldist.com to get on the waiting list. These won’t last long.
Just finished a new flock of small 5″ x 7″ pigeon paintings for a special commission. Normally my pigeon paintings are far larger, but some people wanted a smaller format to hang proudly. A new small batch of these will be available soon, first come first serve. Contact yongki@equaldist.com to get on the list. Do it now!
