FOS (Mark Foster)

Los Angeles, CA

I started Skateboarding when I was 14 and went to various art colleges in Lancashire after I finished school. I ended up going to Goldsmiths College in South London when I was 20 and completed a BA in Design Studies. After college I immersed myself in the world of Skateboarding. I worked as a sales director at Slam City Skates in London. Whilst there I started my own brand, Heroin Skateboards. I've done artwork for companies including Toy Machine, Real, Foundation, Zero, Black Label, Creature, Baker and Deathwish. In 2003 I left Slam City and started Landscape Skateboards, in 2006 I helped to start and became the art director of Altamont Apparel. In 2011, I moved to Los Angeles and Heroin started being distributed by Baker Boys Distribution. I also started hosting a radio show called Fos FM.
