Damn, it seems like only yesterday that Jason Brown was showing me the hand-inked logo for his new snowboard brand. . . but Blue, Gumby, Johan, and the C3 crew really have done an amazing job not only surviving in the snowboard business, but by the looks of their “30,000 boards in the warehouse” flex. . . thriving. Congrats.

We all know the art Stacy Peralta has created on his skateboard, on video, and film, but now he’s creating paintings about skateboarding. In this documentary, Against The Current, he explains it all.
Stacy shares his various inspirations from childhood to present day, and the challenges and lessons learned while working to develop this new visual language in his iterations of these tools of joy from the past. . . The work also explores his temporal and obsessive relationship to the skateboard collection that intrinsically holds the memories of those ephemeral halcyon days. As well as the decay and degradation that entropy and time have on our prized possessions, and even ourselves.
Spend a couple minutes to watch it. Then, roll up the coast to Cambria, California and check out his art show at Cruise Control Contemporary gallery.

Regardless of the occasional jokes we have made at his expense, we’ve always enjoyed our time hanging out with Tony Hawk. But for those who don’t there is “Hawk Be Gone.” Thanks, Stephen Colbert.
