Born Ugly zine

Born Ugly in Virgina

There’s a brand new zine out of Richmond, VA called Born Ugly Magazine. Born Ugly is jam packed with color photos and illustrations. The first issue is reminiscent of Jim Phillips’ art direction. In their own words “layouts infused with illustration soaked in masonite dust and beer sweat…” I’d say they succeeded. I’m not sure how wide their distribution is, so if your skateshop doesn’t have any of the (free) issues, you can download the whole thing. Check out the shot of Josh Swyers on the right side. I don’t know how it came to be, but I’m sold. Aside from the first issue, the Born Ugly site has the prerequisite blog too. Check it out.

– Thanks to Saturday Skateboards for the tip.

  1. Pic on the right has some serious shades of Corpsey, nice. Where’s the ramp launch ramp he sued to get there?

    No launch ramp used, Josh ran up the wall. This photo was taken right in front of the cops as they were getting kicked out of the spot.
