You know all those horrible wildlife shirts you see Grover wearing in photos, assorted GVK videos and real life? Most of them come from his mom, as did this beauty.

From the portfolio of Jason Lee Parry, some from Elle Girl, Japan edition. Nice vintage Jinx shirt.

Sam Abbot designed and modeled this skateboard deck. He printed one in three pieces (too big for his printer) and fit it together with a dowel system and some epoxy. He’s the first to admit that it’s not super sturdy. Sure, it’s nothing more than a novelty right now, but there are some things you should do, just because you can.

Chris Hadfield has a new book titled An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth. The astronaut on the cover is on a skateboard, as is the astronaut in the promo video his son made. Good stuff all around. I guess I should have said “The Right Stuff.” [Source: Metro]

This kickass screen printed poster was designed by Clark Orr, printed by Mama’s Sauce. It’s available online at Gallery 1988. Very nice.

Coastal Cooler from Capri Sun. When I was a kid we used to get these for long road trips with the family. It was like a bottle of champaign to me.

So this started off as a follow up find to the other picture of Mr. Snuffleupagus on a skateboard, but of course, I couldn’t leave well enough alone. It’s by no means the definitive Muppets skateboarding post, a good place to start for that is the Muppet Wiki. If only I could channel this enthusiasm and energy into my career…

This is a TDK advertisement shot at Venice Beach circa 1989. I’ve seen this up on ebay before, actually but this one actually comes from the Google Books, repository, adjacent to the digital knoll. It’s from “Spy” magazine… ha. Remember that one? I’m looking at the shape of that board and thinking that might be Dave Hackett. Anyone got any other ideas? – Thanks to Sandor for the tip.

Not exactly a Jolly Mambo, more of an Ollie from Jamba Juice. It’s a pretty weak representation of what passes for a so-called “game” on a web site these days. The Adventure Blender let’s you pick a character, in this case Ollie, and switch out his background, hat shoes and toy. I smell a cease and desist from the Gelfand estate. (He’s doing fine, I know) Only one of these options has a helmet, I also smell another recall. – Thanks to Kevin for the tip.

Pillows shaped like skateboards, with skateboard prints on them. OK, sure, why not but what’s confusing is the list of pros with their own pillow boards: Christian Hosoi,Daewon Song, Sean Malto, Chris Cole and Guy Mariano? No slight against their notoriety or achievement levels, I’m more thinking about the age range of the target market. I suppose if they follow the Street League they’d definitely know. Weird second rate graphics too. On the plus side, they’ve got a boy who skates like a man in the promo video.
