John Doe Zine has ainterview scheduled with iconic Dogtown artist Wes Humpston today, live at 1pm Pacific. Click on the link to listen to it streaming, or call in at 347 633-9578 for a chance to ask a question yourself. I don’t know how Rich and Jim do it, but they are getting some big names and cranking these things out. The John Doe Zine interviews are pretty hit or miss, but if enough people know about them in advance, they could get consistently better.

Well we’ve got skateboard lighters, so sure, why not have skateboard knives? So says Snake Head Kives, the “Maker of the world’s first Skateboard Knives.” These two are already available, or at least they exist, as there doesn’t appear to be a way to buy them. They have three new styles in the making as well. Meanwhile, Dogtown Skateboards has a limited edition signed Jesse Martinez model. I didn’t realize Dogtown was a real company again. They’ve even got re-issue Bigfoots. I’m still more than a little turned off by the Dogtown fashion line. Track suits anyone? This was a couple years ago, and it was in an asian market, so who know if it was even legit. – Thanks to William Buckley for the tip.
