The Ampersands Project is much like what Gripskin is to Mainland Europe, a group of friends, all about chilling. What's different with Ampersands is that it focuses on culture, so music, art, etc. What i'm trying to do is reflect how the world perceives the UK and it's scene, so grey, spraypainted but overall relaxed in it's nature. Keep an eye on this project, as there will be a, sort of, team, artwork and music playlists for you all to witness.











If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

(That deck is a china deck, i reshaped the kicks a little, i won't be selling those, and i don't plan on making decks)

I'm really confused, about what this is but good luck

Really interesting Thom. Amazing project.

Support.

.

The graphic is spray painted through the stencil at the top!

Maybe i'll sell a few stencils in the future, i was actually planning on sending stencils the team once they're picked

Really interesting project!
The stencils look cool aswell!

.

Stencils look cool man, how about more info um confused as to what exacty this is

What's hard to understand, it's basically a media team, but based around our culture, what we listen to and what we like in general.

i get it
its a really good and interesting idea good luck thom im sure it will be a success
its good that people are looking at different sides of fingerboarding like the culture , art and music
<3

Sounds really interesting!
I'd deff support it!

.

Yeah, British people. The people i have in mind are the guys that are my friends, whom if i decided to quit fingerboarding, i know that i'd still remain good friends with them.

So I'm guessing:
Eaun
Will
Eddie
Harry
Kerry? + some others.

I love stuff like this. Sounds awesome. Good luck with it! I look forward to more coming from this, maybe a site and stuff in the future? If there's any way unite can help, then, well, message me

where did the name come from?

very strange choice?

Maybe it's from & being a symbol of uniting things.

Xi got it in one!

An Ampersand, for those that do not know, is the name for the symbol '&'


Also, i'd like to welcome Simon to the group

Simon is the one person that as soon as i met him, i knew he was a friend for life, his relaxed attitude and overall wittiness, spurred me back into fingerboarding after a 2 year break, and for that i'm eternally grateful. Welcome mate

Very original idea Thom. Great start I can't wait to see where it goes. To hamper down on such a broad idea yet barring one general movement is genius bro. I'll be watching for it.
I tried such a thing once it didn't go so well nor were any of the people I was close to. But maybe that the piece that was missing the unity while having the same passion. You rock!

it awesome good luck

sorry for the late post, i didn't see this. It's a sick idea Thom and i wish you and the best. Will you be doing interviews on a broader scale, including more than just fingerboarding, like Gripskin?

I think stickers of the logo would be sick..

Are you cuttin the stencils from perspex

oh eye.

whats this then?

(well i know, but whats your reasoning behind it etc?)

Are you working on the website Thom? Is there gonna be a website?

Edit: One more question: If you have a team, who's on the team now.

I probably won't do interviews, as i want it to be more about the actual team and their interests.

Well i quite liked what i did on the Blos site, which was embed a new song every few days on the homepage (i don't know if anyone else noticed, haha). I love the idea of having a personal touch, hence why i made the stencil and i've been spraying it round quite a bit, also why i hand drew the font, haha. I think this personal touch could be good in helping other fingerboarders understand the team, what they like and such, so i guess it's like an ongoing interview or personal blog.
