The Tony Mag Hell Bat Pro Model was designed in the 80’s at a time when H-Street was growing like crazy, and we ran into artists from everywhere. Sometimes we would just take a flyer on someone we thought was cool and talented. Looking closely at the graphic, it says it was drawn by James in 1988. All we know of James, according to T-Mag, was that he was from Venice Beach CA, and this was the only graphic he did for H-Street. T-Mag had a variety of Bat graphics and logos, so James thought he would draw his take on bats, and it came at a time when 80’s crazy shapes were at their peak. All other details about the Venice artist are lost to history. T-Mag is a forever fan of different shapes in skateboard decks, so the OG shape to the Hell Bat graphic is very 80’s. Mag re-drew the graphic from some original photos over a few months and updated the shape and dimensions a bit for more functionality in today’s Park&Pool environment. The Park&Pool shape is made on the H-Street Supreme Concave, T-Mag’s personal mold that features a concave dual radius Nose/Tail and a good amount of concave throughout the body. The graphics are specially screened with a mix between metallic inks, fluorescent and standard silk screen inks. The different ink colors that come on a mix of natural and dyed veneers.
