Art of the Skateboard Stamps & Stickers

The USPS has a set of Forever Stamps called Art of the Skateboard and set vinyl skateboard stickers that match the stamp designs. This stamp series might have been better off served with a different title as the “Art Of the Skateboard” typically brings to mind the history of production graphics rather than brand new […]

Maid to Skate

Artist @suzushiro333 has a series of Manga/Anime style illustrations called Maid to Skate that features… well, maids in formal attire skateboarding. While all of them exhibit a certain amount of humor, some of them are quite beautiful and you can tell the artist either skates or has at the very minimum done a really good […]

Trucks and Wheels Sold Separately

Yves Saint Laurent is selling a marble skateboard for £ 3,465, or about $4,800, and yes trucks and wheels are sold separately. This is an honest to Glob skateboard deck carved out of marble. If you absolutely must own a skateboard carved out of stone that you can’t really ride, I’d suggest you go this […]

This is the third glow in the dark park that I’m aware of, and the second one by Korean artist Koo Jeong A. Incredibly, this concrete park appears to be a temporary installation at the Triennale Milano in Italy. What happens to it after the exhibit runs its course from 26th of November 2019 to […]

Whatsup With This Skateable Dragon?

I think this web site is called WHATSUP. (WHATSUP???) Follow this link for pictures of a crazy concrete dragon built for skating in an art exhibit they may have something to do with Vans.

Skateboarding, it’s not just for old MEN anymore.

I expected this to be another article on old skateboarders, but the print issue of the June 2019 issue of ESPN Magazine instead features a brief excerpt of photographers David Burnett’s exhibit titled Fourth Quarter: Senior Athletes and Their Indomitable Spirit, currently showing at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Fl. That’s an old friend of the site Judy […]

Trick Tip: The Obvious Plant

I’m surprised there isn’t a trick called an Obvious Plant. Sounds like something Neil Blender or Lance Mountain would have made up. Wait? Is there an obvious plant? Well, there’s Obvious Plant, the fake company run by Jeff Wysaski. He makes fake products in packaging and plants them in retail locations. It’s very good stuff, […]

I don’t get stoner culture, especially the way some participants are so into the idea of pot, and all the paraphernalia that surrounds the use of it. I suppose it can be likened in some aspects to people who enjoy a good craft beer or making their own home-brew. What I do get, is the amount of […]
