Just finished and entered a contest for a Grafik Armor snowboard decal.

It's being promoted by Forsnowboarding.com which is in their own words, "The detail-oriented online information source focusing on the art and design subcultures within the snowboard industry."

There are some great designs in the running including my good friend Austin Watts of One Day Vaca.

Check it out mine here and Austin's here. No voting but you can leave a comment if you'd like!

An Evening of Skate Videos at MOMA!

2009-10-02T11:50:00.001-07:00

AN EVENING OF SKATE VIDEOS
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2009
7:30–11:00 P.M.
MoMA
THEATER 1

In honor of the MoMA retrospective Spike Jonze: The First 80 Years, PopRally has invited producer and photographer Patrick O'Dell (of Epicly Later'd) to create a special compilation of seminal skateboard videos from the 1980s to today. Jonze, whose own contributions to the genre will be featured, notes that, "Skate videos have been a big influence and a big part of what I've done for a long time. They are how I got into film, actually." This unique screening is followed by a conversation with legendary skateboarders and filmmakers, including Jonze, Lance Mountain, Greg Hunt, Jake Phelps, Ty Evans, and other surprise guests.

Afterward please join us upstairs for a special performance by NO AGE.

Love him or hate him, this dude doesn't back down from the strange, pathetic and awfully uncomfortable. His newest feature shot on old VHS equipment. Kind of great. Read a Q & A with the man here at BlackBook.

And now for something completely different...

30 yrs of art making by a real character! Got turned on to Psychick TV and Throbbing Gristle years ago, made a huge, weird, and lasting impression on me. S/he is a weirdo in the best sense of the word. Go see this at Invisible-Exports.

RIP JIM CARROL

2009-09-15T07:50:00.001-07:00

What's up with everyone dying? And young?

For those who don't know...Jim Carroll, 60, a poet-turned-punk rocker whose book "The Basketball Diaries" chronicled his descent from elite high school basketball star to Times Square drug addict, thief and prostitute, died Sept. 11 at his home in Manhattan after a heart attack. Mr. Carroll's best-known work was an autobiographical account of his years from 12 to 15 when he received a basketball scholarship to Trinity, an elite Manhattan high school, and began abusing cocaine and other drugs. The journal, excerpted in the Paris Review, became highly popular on college campuses and was published as a book in 1978. A 1995 movie version starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Mr. Carroll." from the Washington Post

RIP SWAYZE!

Real Magic!

2009-09-04T09:48:00.000-07:00

Chillin' with Ron Jeremy @ Magic. This is actually the 2nd time we met. The first time was over at the home of a good friend of his who was living at the Chelsea hotel. We smoked a joint and he tried to convince my girlfriend at the time to let him join us in a threesome. We politely declined his offer. Super nice guy though and I loved him in Orgazmo!

Had a great time at Magic! Met some cool people, including the artist Skinner, whose work I'm a huge fan of! Check out his work, it's super rad. Here's a pic of one of his works...

I'm an asshole cuz he was there doing a live painting and I didn't snap a pic. Some fan I am! It was a great piece as well. Damn.

I stayed with a good friend of mine, William, of Helmet of the Will, who had a booth at Project. He designs and makes a top notch upscale product for the high end connoisseur. Super soft cotton with some great hand drawn prints. Thanks Bill for the hookup and the good times!

Made some connections, strengthened some others. Partied, ate well, rolled back to our sick suite at 6am. Saw alot of great product from some great brands. Inspiration to step up the game and make some moves. All in all, MAGIC!

DIENASTY AT MAGIC!
