Levi Brown New King of Style

This is Element's "WELCOME TO THE PRO TEAM, LEVI BROWN" video. Kid's got some incredible style. Enjoy!

14 Bolt

14 Bolt is a Los Angeles based artist and designer. Word on the street is that he may be involved in designing some of the vehicles for a live action Akira movie. I could be completely wrong about that though. If you're not busy today take a minute and browse though some amazing artwork of his here.

Shepard Fairey paints at Studio No. 2 in L.A.

Ever wonder how Shepard Fairey makes those crazy collages? Here's your chance to find out. Watch multiple times and take notes.

Natas 101 Boom and Rodney Mullen Sureshot Prototypes?

About once a week I run into an a decently rare World industries board with this written in the description " Note: this deck is the real deal on the
original shape. soon after it was cut down to a popsicle shape". The seller claims he has no idea why, which doesn't really seem to add up. I have also seen boards like this listed as prototypes. I'm not really buying these stories and for prices like $950.00 to $2,500 buyers should wait around for something that is not this suspect.


The Mullen looks pretty close to a real deal minus the shape.



This Natas on the other hand has no top graphic and has the wrong hole pattern for the front truck.

Rat Shirt

I'm printing these tomorrow at 5pm. Let me know if you want one. Black ink white shirts $10 with shipping. It maybe possible to get other color shirts so ask if you want something different. Email me if you want one at evokerone@gmail.com .

Monster Decay

Monster Decay has been absolutely killing it lately. I have known Monster Decay for more than a couple years now. When I first met him I thought his work was really good, but the stuff he has been putting out in the last couple months is mind blowing. Do yourself a favor and check out more of his work here.

Banksy Versus Bristol Museum

After watching this video I am seriously considering taking a long weekend to go to Bristol to see this show.

Girl Skateboards x Where the Wildthings Are

1987 VISION PSYCHO STICK SKATEBOARD MINI

This is a 1987 Vision Psycho Stick Mini. I recently read that this graphic was based on a photo of one of the artist's, Andy Takakjian's, friends. Word has it that the success of this board jinxed his friend and he lost all of his hair shortly after. Poor guy, but at least he has one of the most iconic skateboard graphics of all time to remember it by.
Currently selling for $399.99 with no bids and 1 day to go here.

Grimeballs!

This was a wheel I did for this years new Fast Life line. Unfortunately due to that fact that a bunch of scumbag shops owe us so much money, it's possible that they will never go into production.

Bomit!

I was going through my buddy Z from Bomit.com's flickr page and decided to steal some of his great pictures and share them with everyone. You can check out more of his photos on flickr here or check out Bomit.com here.

Powell Peralta Tommy Guerrero dagger skateboard

I know I have featured this board before, but this has to be the best colorway I have ever seen it in. This thing is absolutely stunning! Black dipped, yellow/orange flames, a blue dagger and a gold winged ripper on top. Currently selling for $207.50 with 20 bids and 5 days to go here. It would not surprise me if this baby sold for over a grand.
On a related note does anyone know why Powell has not re released any of the Guerrero models yet. I'm betting there is a pretty good story why.

New Mike Giant book COUP D’ÉTAT

Mike Giant has a new book called “COUP D’ÉTAT”. I'm a huge fan of his other books and have a feeling this one won't disappoint. This is what the Rebel 8 blog had to say about it.
"After the amazing success of Mike Giant’s book MUERTE of the Drago 36 Chambers series here comes the new bestseller of one of the most famous tattoo artist that turned into fine art, graffiti and pop culture. His style in this book “COUP D’ÉTAT” shows a new side, combining his new artworks with his new passion – photography. The urban art movement is the only avant-garde movement of today’s world that reflects the leading global pop imaginary that connects street and internet. Mike Giant created a global network that reflects the taste of the street with the finesse of fine art. The book is published in occasion of his exhibition at the Magda Danysz Gallery in Paris from April 25th to May 23rd 2009 together with his friend Dalek.
Hardcover: 44 pages"
Signed hard cover available now for $70 here or you can wait till September 15th and get the soft cover on Amazon for $21.78.

Random Weekend Photos

Random pictures from last weekend in New Hampshire. Fun Spot in Weirs Beach is probably one of the best places in the world.

Newer Classic Skateboard Graphics

I usually only show older skateboard graphics on here, but I have recently decided to start posting newer boards that I think will be classics in the years to come. These are my first selections.

Bueno- Shiloh Greathouse
Artist- Micheal Sieben

Krooked- Artist Series
Artist- Mike Giant

Birdhouse- Matt Ball
Artist- ?

5Boro- Cinco Barrios
Artist- Grotesk

Toy Machine- Fists
Artists- Ed Templeton

On another note I was wondering if someone could make a website that showcases all boards new and old. Or if someone would like to pay me to do it. Artofskateboarding.com does a pretty good job with the old stuff, but I feel they kind of look over the new stuff a little. Also alot of there pictures are tiny and you can't save them.

Mike Vallely World Industries Barnyard

Not only was this Marc Mckee's first deck graphic, this was also the first deck Rodney Mullen did the shape for. Never mounted, never gripped with a buy it now price of $3000 here. Looks pretty legit to me, but it always makes me wary when a seller writes "ALL SALES ARE FINAL".

The Mobernists

My friend Christian Roth from Mob Skateboards has put together an amazing documentary about art and skateboarding called The Mobernists. It is in two parts and runs around 50 minutes. Part 1 features Don Pendeleton and Eli Gessner. Part 2 features the London Police, Michael Leon, Dalek and Dave the Chimp. This is one of the best things I have seen in a while and a definite must watch for any skateboard art fans. The website is in German, but don't worry the video is in English. So, sit back and enjoy the video here.
