Zarosh Eggleston is busy building his own little skatopia called Cachagua Land on hill top in California. Helping to fund it along the way, hand screened Platipuss skateboards from the multitalented artist himself. I saw this DIY concrete extravaganza in a video before. I can’t recall what it was in though, maybe Strange Notes? Spend some time trolling around Platipuss (sic), there’s a lot of interesting goings on going on over there. Zarosh accepts donations for concrete.A big enough donation will net you a limited edition t-shirt or deck. Of course you can buy one one of the others outright too. Check out his screen rig up top. I’d love to pick his brain on that. That, and why he strayed from the traditional spelling of Platypus.
– Thanks to Eric Shea for the tip.

No it wasn’t Strange Notes, it was Confusion Magazine, I think? Maybe Slap too, they had an article but I don’t think it was a video.

There’s another video of when the Japanese MXMXM crew came to Cachagua Land with Maru and Adam Benson:

Zarosh did a short run of decks for me a few months back and his work is top notch. I’m sure he works the mud equally well. And lets face it – deliberate misspelling is an important part of skateboarding.
