On January 30, 2009, legendary professional skateboarder and noted accordion-wielding front man for Flogging Molly, Matt Hensley, hosted an artshow titled Stencils Aren’t Art by San Jose’s finest Jason Adams. The show was also sponsored by Black Label Skateboards, Dekline Footwear and Pura Casta Tequila. Ceaser, the owner of Pura Casta, who also happens to farm the agave in Mexico, was on hand along with his right hand man, Ryan Quintana, to give out samples of Pura Casta to everyone present. A who’s who of skateboard industry friends and family showed up to support Jason as he continues to break into the art world and to snatch up some of his new works on wood and paper. The show will be up at Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub & Grill for several weeks. There are only a few pieces left for purchase, so hurry on down and stick a red dot next to your favorite piece because the work is priced to sell and going fast. The following morning Matt hosted The Blokes from noon to 3. Check out photos and the video of Matt jamming with The Blokes while patrons take turns dancing to the awesome Irish music.
10 limited edition decks were made by Black Label for Stencils Aren’t Art.
