Guy Mariano

Big Babies

Brand: Girl
Size: 8.125″ x 31.3″
Year: 2014
Artist: Hershel Baltrotsky

This deck is part of the six piece Big Babies series made by Girl and released in 2014. We can see Guy Mariano standing wearing a grey and white striped baby suit with the Fourstar logo on it. Fourstar is a clothing brand part of the Girl family that was created by Guy Mariano and Eric Koston in 1996. The font used for the skater’s name is childish with rounded corners and the multicolored letters help to fit in with the picture and the theme series. It’s worth noting that the letter “O” of every skater’s name is replaced by a star with the Girl logo inside. For Cory Kennedy’s board, this is the letter “D” which is replaced by a star though. The idea of developping this series orginally came from a Eric Koston one-off board. Hershel Baltrotsky, who made the graphics for this series and who was the art director of Girl Skateboards from 2008 to 2014, explained it in the interview we did with him. He said that all the babies shown in this series are stolen from the internet.
