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 skateboarder, artist, musician and true renaissance man from Ohio and with a couple of buddies and started Puppet Skateboards, based on Bob’s art and no-nonsense approach. Bob made this graphic image that’s a bit of a philosophical reflection. Here’s how Bob put it;
“This is my main puppet dude that I draw. There could be a lot of reasons he’s got two smoking barrels behind his back and a tear coming from his eyes and sometimes I feel that is just how life goes”
