Sneeze magazine has a short but interesting interview with Chad Muska about his first ever pro graphic, which came out on Toy Machine in 1995. It’s interesting from a historical skateboard personality perspective, but maybe more so because it touches on the business and shift from screen printing to heat transfers that was on the horizon when this board came out, and how it changed the industry. Originally published in 2012, I’ve never seen an actual copy of Sneeze, but apparently it’s “poster-sized.” If you poke around on the site you can see some press sheets that are pretty large.

Very cool read. I had no clue about some of that stuff.

ed templeton seems like a control freak dick w/ his redundant mind control graphics, good for muska for ditching him

pocket pistols is silk screened, they claim heat transfer stresses the wood, yet chapman didnt address that myth/or fact…kids today trash a board in seconds, theres no point in screening. silk screen will always have a place w/ older pool type riders

Great read- thanks for posting it. As a screen printer, it was really interesting.

I love a good boardslide ,scratches are the only graphics that belong on the bottom of a board . Scars on the top ,from the neck down.
Is that a heat transfer ?
