tokyo design mastermind Jean Snow has started a new webzine.
in the debut issue is a small write up about OPEN, and out initial Tshirt offering.
bigs thanks to Jean Snow. we’ve been at this game a long time together.
we got a really limited supply of OPEN Tshirts recently. an i mean limited.
its the whale, on heather grey AA shirt. size S / M / L
go to openskateboards.com to get one if you like. the mediums are moving fast FYI
don’t forget we also sell really kick ass skateboard decks.. just saying. you should get one of those too..
we were hoping to have SOUGWEN decks available for this show. but it won’t be the case. but there will be full res prints on display. and it will be the only place to pre-order the deck. the run is hyper limited in comparison to most skateboards. so if you miss out. you miss out.
the deck will be 31.5 x 7.75 & 7.6″.
i will also have a couple.. and i mean a very few IAN LYNAM boards on me. they come in 7.75, and 8″ wide version. if you want one. leave a post. i will make sure to have one for you. IAN decks on this night only.. will be 40$ flat. sougwen reserves are 50$.
also. it happens to be a dubbed out august. did you know?
and old fav of mine, and something i should of written about a long time ago on HB, is COS/MES, and their satanic skatepark. COS/MES is a skateboard, and art, and music making collective from japan. they created an art installation, and original soundtrack for the show.. all based on skateboarding. they are skateboarders. the soundtrack is amazing, and they self released it to niche success in the new disco / slow disco scene. and have since released some 7″ of new tracks. but no new footage or shows of skating.
this is the promo clip for the show and CD. both, awesome. check it more then 1 time.
looooveeee it.
[gallery link="file" columns="2"]i love to make things. it isn’t an option. or something to look into. i like the whole process. from concept to refining, being anal, then manufacturing. paying for the manufactureing, and getting the final product. i love all these things. i AM the dreamer of the dreams. but sometimes i do things that are not mass produced or re-broadcast. in this cast, i made a OPEN logo board, one of a kind. never to see the day of bulk daylight. a one off for JL at project bushwick. i hate to sound all douche like. but i think 100% bamboo decks is the future. bamboosk8 is doing an awesome job of pushing things forward, and you will continue to see limited edition 100% bamboo decks from OPEN.
i am working on to much, that it’s leading to nothing. “don’t hate cause ima liverpool fan, and your a Tottenham fan.”
anyways. i just got the “new skateboarding graphics” book. i am trying to write something about it. with lots of snaps. here are some fresh from the box snaps. i know. how exciting! can you handle this?
