This is amazing. The Chocolate Drip video part intros in Mouse were such a memorable and cool look, there's no other word to describe them other than "iconic." The board series birthed from those graphics are some of the most sought after today.
Recently, Chocolate Skateboards brought back the Drips, and Geoff McFetridge, for a new board series with its current roster. Chocolate just revealed a really rad behind the scenes video series on its IG that's worth a watch:
“Take yourself back to 1997. A young art student from Cal Arts is at Chocolate HQ in Torrance, California pouring chocolate sauce into a foam-core mold. Geoff McFetridge is working on his first board series for Chocolate. McTNT, as we called him, was introduced to the Art Dump by fellow Cal Arts alumni and Girl in-house artists, Bucky Fukumoto and Johannes Gamble. Johannes video taped the process and later created the animation for the intros in MOUSE. Fast forward almost 30 years. A now much respected and sought after artist, McFetridge heeds the call to pour more Chocolate Drips. Thank you, Geoff.” - Andy Jenkins
@mcfetridge’s new Drip series is now available at skate shops worldwide and Crailtap.com
Peep the video above for some new clips from the Chocolate team to announced the new collection.
Bobshirt caught up with Geoff for one of his classic interviews, definitely worth a watch:
