As you can tell myself and the Bozmin have been busy of late. I had the gnarlyest fever last night and have been on the couch for a few days. Plenty of time to catch up on
childhood memories. Possibly the best cartoon ever made, the first Japanese-French anime partnership with the radest hair band opener song. Needless to say when life takes over the Hand gets neglected, but be sure there is some shit coming down that pipe line. Have fun in Dubai Meyer!_London

10.26.06
When we printed the shirts last week we found this banging libation. Tilburg's Dutch Brown Ale. I must say I was drawn in by th lable. I get home and notice there is this illustration of a bird sitting in a chair. I think, thats rad, kind of wierd but it fits with the print session. Then I look closer and the bird seems to be eating a human body. Ok. And from that body there are black birds flying out the body's ass. Obviously odd, but some how familiar. Then I check the web site. Ahhh yes, now I remember, art history class. I would just like to say thanks to Kathlene EnzFinkin my old Art history teacher for embedding that knowledge deep in the bowels of my brain. Hey Enz Finken, Ive been doing some Enz Thinkin, that it is time to do some Enz Drinkin _Bozzmin

Damiano here. Before I hit you all of with my brain stunning update I'd like to say that I, as many of you already know, am not a "blogger." Shit ain't my bag. I'm trying to uphold an image here and this undoubtedly is only going to spiral me further into the deep, dark, "no-ass-getting-abyss" has already consumed the majority of my being. In short, don't hate. Even T. Woods has an off day.
So anyway, for all you cubed up, counter confined, work-a-holics out there, entertainment has been provided to you today by the fine folks at
Automatic Magazine and Belgrade's Finest. Giovanni says what up. We're out.

As you can tell myself and the Bozmin have been busy of late. I had the gnarlyest fever last night and have been on the couch for a few days. Plenty of time to catch up on
childhood memories. Possibly the best cartoon ever made, the first Japanese-French anime partnership with the radest hair band opener song. Needless to say when life takes over the Hand gets neglected, but be sure there is some shit coming down that pipe line. Have fun in Dubai Meyer!_London

When we printed the shirts last week we found this banging libation. Tilburg's Dutch Brown Ale. I must say I was drawn in by th lable. I get home and notice there is this illustration of a bird sitting in a chair. I think, thats rad, kind of wierd but it fits with the print session. Then I look closer and the bird seems to be eating a human body. Ok. And from that body there are black birds flying out the body's ass. Obviously odd, but some how familiar. Then I check the web site. Ahhh yes, now I remember, art history class. I would just like to say thanks to Kathlene EnzFinkin my old Art history teacher for embedding that knowledge deep in the bowels of my brain. Hey Enz Finken, Ive been doing some Enz Thinkin, that it is time to do some Enz Drinkin _Bozzmin

In short, don't hate. Even T. Woods has an off day.
So anyway, for all you cubed up, counter confined, work-a-holics out there, entertainment has been provided to you today by the fine folks at

Todd's show was fun, rad art, free pizza & wine, and Rada (in true Mazatlan form) for entertainment. I made my own art while socializing. I am now the proud owner of these and was equally excited to see these in real life. Skated street on Sunday and it was not a pretty sight, old ramp dudes skating street is funny! Robby of the Silver Bullets is down with the Hand._London

Get your hands on Thrasher's Skate and Destroy and read about the past 25 years of skateboardng from their prespective. Nav's and Zed get flicks but this was my favorite. Get over to the store and buy a copy for your bookshelf. Listen to this!_London

Cool concept for a show. Tom Green is streaming live shows on his site. Worth checking out, even if you can't stand him. I didn't care for it when he egged my car in Fargo._Bozzmin

I'm demoting sam from VP back to web intern for deleting all our blog content. We might be able to salvage some, just bear with the glitches in the interim. Munzy was bummed his name didnt make it onto the getshitforfreelist, so for the record Mike Munzenrider wears the Hand for nada._London
Sam is having fun with us. He has forced us to promote him to Sr. VP of all that is Handjob Webbery. We couldn't pay him more but he got the fat title._Bozzmin

People are always asking us who rides for Handjob, I don't think we will ever have an official team but Sam McGuire and Cassey Morrisey get shit for free. They were both in town this weekend and this session went down. We also skated this barn ramp during another of Benji Meyer and Darin Limvere's epic productions. Thanks to all involved. These are coming soon..._London
