Inside the mind of Factory 13 : Danny Creadon (cont.)

Are there any prospects/ideas for future projects?

yes, there are too many to mention. My mind works on full speed, overtime most of the day, and I will always be doing something different and unique.

Tell us about some of the wild shapes you have made for yourself or others over the years.

Man, we have made just about every weird board design from the past and present...old shapes people like...modern shapes suck, so not too many of those. Some of the boards that come out of here are so wacked-out I can hardly believe it. For example: booze bottle shapes, certain male organs..., dagger like knife type boards, widowmakers (my favorite)...I am working on chicken wire ply's in our boards now and also inserting razors between the ply's (they will stick out about 1/4 inch around the nose) for those dicks that get in my way.(haha)

Where does your artwork come from ?

Some of it comes from my close friends, but most of it comes from my imagination

How did you come up with the FUR COVERED boards and the GAY NAZI graphic ?

The fur covered ones are real cool, just a good idea I guess I did one day. The GAY NAZI board me, and Mark did it just to turn some heads and piss some people off that we were doing an exhibit with. It is currently on display at Nemeths in Painsville, Ohio.

Thats about all the questions I can come up with for now... any last remarks?

First of all I want to THANK all the people that have supported FACTORY13 from the very beginning. All my friends and all the friends I have made along the way. I want to thank all my brothers around the world. You know who you are!!!!!! Too many to mention. Definately wanna thank JFA and DISASTER RECORDS for their support. Thanks also to George Medina at BOWLRIDER for all the great work that he has done for F13 (he is a true brother and a great dude), Tracker trucks, and mostly OHIO SURF AND SKATE in Willoughby, Ohio for supporting and believing since day one. Most of all JESUS for giving me a crazy brain and a free will to express my ideas.....thanks to all and no thanks to close minded clones that don't believe.
