For our 2nd NOMEANSNO skate deck, we’re happy to present Mr. Happy
starring in “Madness And Death”. We took our sweet time with this one
and I’m super happy with how these turned out. Here’s what Abe had to
say about the band and this design: For this design, I took a shot at Mr. Happy (aka Wrong), as imagined
by John Yates. Originally I was thinking I’d reproduce the album cover,
but then Charles got his hands on it, and now we have Mr. Madness and
Death himself, floating in a sea of black (fitting), on a scaffold of
hand-drawn logos. Creepy? Absolutely. I remember when Why Do They Call
Me Mr. Happy? came out—I’d heard Andy wasn’t in the band anymore, and I
was worried about it. The chemistry of the three of them was perfect.
How could they do this to us? As it turns out, my fears were misplaced.
It wasn’t the same, exactly—and I would miss Andy’s jagged and
innovative guitar playing and his scathing vocals—but it was just as
good. John and Rob, who cut their teeth as a two piece, delivered a
dark, propulsive, captivating record that served as a bridge between the
two main eras of the band. Then Tom joined, and the transition was
complete. The mastery continued. Until it stopped. I miss seeing them
live. I miss playing shows with them. But what I don’t miss is their
music. It’s in my ears all the time. Still. To this day. —Abe Brennan LIMITED TO 100 SIGNED AND NUMBERED DECKS.
