Here’s how Bob recalls it;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Around 2017 I asked my two friends Jason and Kris if they wanted to start a skate company that would make no money and hardly anyone would know who we were but it would be fun. So I drew a sock puppet and had it put on a board and called it Puppet, because honestly, everyone has someone else pulling their stings. Sad but true. That year Matt Hensley let me do a guest deck that turned out horribly wrong and I almost shut it down because of the disappointment but I only really wanted to draw skate graphics and let people scratch them up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the popsicles came out in the 90's it was all about who had the sickest graphics and that was my favorite time in skateboarding and I always wanted to do that. Now 2 years later I've been blessed enough to do graphics for myself, H-Street, local skate shops and other people and it seems to be paying off. It’s never about money or recognition but just drawing something on a board that people were stoked on and enjoyed destroying.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBob’s doing a few guest graphics for H-Street and working with T-Mag on graphics that celebrates the H-Street artistic heritage and design and we are stoked to offer a few of his decks here at the H-Street shop. They are made using the finest Canadian hardrock maple and Puppet Skates represents the true Midwest mentality of quality DIY.\u003c\/p\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2020-01-08T10:30:25-08:00","alt":null,"width":1350,"height":2100,"src":"\/\/h-street.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Puppet_Gangster.jpg?v=1578508226"}}]
Bob Hickman is a prolific and creative skate artist from Ohio. He's made a number of tribute oriented graphics for H-Street, along with some original art. Lately, he’s been commissioned to do hand painted originals for different people and Mag suggested he do various series of decks we could offer to our friends.
This is a series of four decks that are hand painted on new blanks, with a few of our really classic graphics that inspired Bob, along with a personal inscription and Bob’s Puppet signature on the top.
They are only available this one time as original pieces of artwork.
