Happens Everyday Deck (First Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Happens Everyday is a FAILE skate deck released in 2019, printed on 7-ply maple at 9.75 x 30 inches in a numbered edition of 150. Each deck is signed and issued with a custom certificate of authenticity from the studio. The stamped FAILE 1986 mark references the duo's recurring 1986 motif rather than a production date.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Numbered edition of 150. The saved release record describes: signed; numbered. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
FAILE decks translate the studio's imagery onto a functional skateboard object, a format that connects directly to the duo's street-art roots and skate-culture lineage.
Collector Perspective
Collectors typically acquire FAILE decks unridden and display-mounted. Condition is paramount for decks: edge chips, deck wear, and shrink-wrap status materially affect desirability given the object's functional nature.
Historical Context
The 1986 tag recurs across FAILE's output as a signature reference embedded in many titles and stamps. By 2019 the studio had produced multiple deck series, extending its print practice into wood objects that sit at the intersection of art edition and skate-culture artifact.
