I was asked to produce the master logo of Fly 53 on top of a skull which was produced by Skulls Direct who are mass-producing them for all there stores. Computers could not do this work as Fly 53 told me, they had tried 300 other places before finding me which I hand carved. FLY53 is a rebel clothing chain, designed and born into the world to protect and serve the 24 hour party people. Standing proud and strong since 1994.
