The Toy Machine Flag featuring Jeremy Leabres is a bold and visually engaging piece that embodies the raw, rebellious spirit of skateboarding culture. The graphic combines Toy Machine’s signature hand-drawn artwork with an action shot of Jeremy Leabres executing a technical trick on a green bench, all captured in a perfectly framed moment. The Toy Machine branding is loud and unapologetic, featuring phrases like “Bloodsucking Corporate Scum” and “Real Life Sucks” in hand-scrawled typography that reflects the brand’s punk-inspired ethos.
The upper portion of the flag is filled with Ed Templeton’s iconic, chaotic designs, including melting eyeballs, surreal creatures, and cartoonish lettering that have become synonymous with Toy Machine’s distinct visual identity. The bottom half showcases a live-action skateboarding scene, giving it a dynamic, almost storyboard-like feel. The text at the bottom references Jeremy Leabres, reinforcing his role in the Toy Machine legacy.
