“skatebook (a league on it’s own)” - worldwide skateboarding

“I just recieved my Skatebooks and am changing my underware as we speak” - John Mcmahon

“My copies arrived and I can safely say these books are the greatest tribute to skateboarding. The amazing work in each ‘issue’ will be remembered forever and ever. I haven’t been this inspired by a skate publication since I was a kid* in the 80s/early 90s where I’d read the mags cover-to-cover over n’ over… Hats off to all involved and more power to you!” - sahlan78

I mowed through this book. Lots of name dropping and more focused on the art and club scene in New York in the 80’s, but enjoyable to read nonetheless.

In American Index Of The Hidden And Unfamiliar, Taryn Simon exposes the complexities of people, places, things and organizations that exist all around us everyday as we go along our merry way. Some of the most painfully plain images explode into life as the revelation of what your eyes are looking at is revealed in the subtext that accompanies the pictures. Part of the wonder is how a civilian photographer could even gain access to capture some of the images within the collection. A definite must see.

Last night we went to see our dear friend Molly Schiot’s opening at Phyllis Stein Art in downtown Los Angeles. Artwalk has become quite a scene. Considering the gloom and doom propaganda that pervades popular media it was delighting to see just how many people showed up to see and snatch up art by some of LA’s emerging artists.

PS: Please excuse my photos as they do not represent just how incredible the works looks in person.
