SKETCH BOOK ENTRY 13

2011-11-15T10:22:00.000-08:00

I'm working on stuff for the show at Backwoods and I've been testing allot of work out in my sketchbook. I've not used a sketch book in a while, but I've started to find its really helpful to think and develop ideas and ways of working, especially to make some larger works.

This is page 13.

Chas sent me this pic, he took it when we were staying with our friend Scott in San Fran, just after my 21st Birthday in 2001. I was living in Kansas at the time and Chas came over to stay for my 21st, so we could hang out and skate. We took a trip to S.F, I'd never been there before, it was a seriously fun trip, to S.F and also being on Kansas.

SAMUEL PARTAIX - DOWN FOR LIFE

2011-11-11T01:50:00.000-08:00

In about 2005 I got a call from Paulo, he'd was over from France on a skate trip filming with a bunch of guys from Antiz and Lyon. They were up in Scotland at the time and they were coming to London for a week or so and they were desperate to find somewhere to stay. At the time I was living in Brixton and my flat was often the hotel for euro skateboard traveller. Paulo had said there's a "few of us", but when I met them from the tube station there were allot of them. Among this rabble of really polite, shoe less and also injured and friendly french dudes was a very young Samuel Partaix. At the time I think he'd just got on Antiz and was really starting to kill it.

They stayed at mine for a week and were the best house guests I ever had at Crownstone Court, the house was cleaner when they left than when they arrived. They managed to sleep in the living room, it was sleeping bag tetris.

At the time I was working on stuff for an exhibition in LA and 2k had just sent me some shirts I'd designed, this artwork of the "live to Ride" skull was one of the shirts, and was also one of the first shirts I made for 2k. I gave one to Sam, I dont think I've ever seen anyone that stoked on being given a shirt, I was really happy that he liked the artwork. When he was over here this year for DTSD he was asking about getting the artwork from me to get tattooed, I sent it to him and now I'm really proud to say my friend Sam has it on his body for life. Thanks Sam, I'm stoked you like my drawings that much to get it stapped into skin.

cheers mate

The Book of Skulls - Faye Dowling

2011-08-30T03:48:00.000-07:00

The skull is one of the most recognizable symbols of today’s contemporary visual culture. Adorning T-Shirts, badges and rock memorabilia as the ultimate symbol of anarchy and rebellion, the image of the skull has found its way into the vocabulary of urban life.

In response to this cultural phenomenon, The Book of Skulls presents a cool visual guide to the skull, charting its rebirth through music and street fashion to become today’s ultimate anti-establishment icon. From the Grateful Dead to skater punk graffiti, from haute-couture to Damien Hirst, this book is the ultimate collection of iconic and unusual skull motifs.

Packaged in an amazing 'skeleton' binding and drawing together artwork from music, fashion, street art and graphic design, The Book of Skulls is a celebration of one of today’s most iconic cultural symbols.

Faye Dowling is a freelance editor, curator and art buyer specializing in photography, illustration, design, and contemporary visual culture. She has worked for magazines including Dazed & Confused, Varoom, Frieze, Eye, Edit and Pictured.

Vans - Downtown Show Down

2011-08-22T02:36:00.000-07:00

On Saturday, 20th August 2011, Old Spitalfields Market in East London hosted the biggest skateboard event the UK has ever seen. Over 10’000 people visited throughout the day, witnessing ten of Europe’s best skateboard teams battle it out against each other. The lion’s share of the prize purse went to the days winning team: Antiz. It wasn’t just the skaters having fun as the weather held out throughout the day, a thronging crowd of spectators and a high level of skateboarding were key ingredients for the success of this unique event.

Vans selected the incredible obstacles from Cliché, Superdead and Death Skateboards in recognition of their inspired and creative designs and brought them to life brilliantly and installed in Old Spitalfields Market and the neighboring Brushfield Street to be skated for one day only.

Following an hour’s warm up, the competing athletes dived straight into the first Round, featuring Death Skateboards’ Ripper Alley. Phil Zwijsen resurrected the spirit of the Ripper himself, pushing the boundaries and carving his way to first place with his consist fluid style and use of the course. Danny Brady fought to the end, notably with a B/S Hurricane from the flat bank to bar that earned him second place.

The event was then in full swing and the masses accumulated over the Antiz Tower Bridge. Danny Brady lead the line with his progressive array of tricks in his arsenal, none more so than his F/S Bluntslide kickflip to fakie in his usual insouciant manner. Inspired by the amazing obstacle created by Antiz, the Element and Cliché team fought to the bitter end, though when the dust settled it was Danny Brady who left with the top spot.

Despite the best efforts of the typically unpredictable British weather, the clouds parted and the sun shined in time for everyone to roll out to the final obstacle- Superdead’s Olde English Tavern. As the final round, this was the moment when every athlete knew their time was running out and did what they could do claim a stake in this prestigious event, first out of the gates was Nassim Guammaz. Ferocious style that dominated from the minute the final heat commenced. If anyone needed final confirmation that Nassim was taking this heat as his own, his F/S 360 shuvit down the bank reaffirmed his position. Chris Pfanner, representing Yama, kept everyone guessing with his trademark F/S melon flip earning plaudits from the huge assembled crowd.

With all three obstacles taken on and destroyed in a fashion we have come to expect from the Vans Downtown Showdown, it was left to the judges to tally up the scores and inform the heaving crowds of which team had climbed highest in the scoring. Here are the results as presented by the likes of Steve Van Doren, Geoff Rowley and Dustin Dollin. The team results were as follows-

1st - Antiz
2nd- Element Europe
3rd - Enjoi
4th - Superdead

The Antiz team @ mine for Vans Downtown Show Down

2011-08-22T02:07:00.001-07:00

I've been good friends with the Antiz guys for some time, they're the best company / team / fruity euro dudes in the world!! They came into town from thursday until yesterday for the Showdown. Having them here is always fun and eventful, especially when they sleep at your house and studio. Hugo and Sam got in first, and came direct to the studio.

Closely followed by Samu and Dallas. James, Jake, Pulley and Phil popped over to the studio to see them as they were all in town as well.

We had a pretty heavy thursday evening, ending up in the pub until 2am, and James putting his credit card behind the bar for everyone to have a few shandys and also having a hobo style street party outside the Bagel shop on the way. I found the guys like this the next morning on the floor of my studio. Just the way you'd want to be before the practice session on friday.

Obviously the event wouldn't be right without a Lovenskate injection of fun!! Stu at the Lovenskate Market.

It was pretty mental for me being at the d.t.s.d, as my artwork way every where, and I mean all over the bloody place. It was really flattering for me to have it so bold.

It wouldn't be d.t.s.d without Shutzi building the ramps and Churchill being mouthy!

After the event, we managed to get 2 crates of Vans beer, with my labels on .....

Euro's so fruity!!

Hugo got smashed in his face with his own board and had to get stitches.... here's what his skull looks like!

CHURCH / SHED

2011-05-23T04:25:00.000-07:00

Last week I built a Church / Evil Dead style shed in my studio. Its a project I've been working on for Scion. Its been filmed as a time lapse and an interview for Scion. Laup came to help me build as my wood work skills are pretty much zero.

If anyone wants to come and see it, just email me and come over. Alex came over at the weekend and took some really good pictures of it, so I should have them soon to show what it looks like allot better.

BISAR - BERLIN LECTURE AND EXHIBITION

2011-05-09T03:07:00.000-07:00

I spent most of last week in Berlin, setting up a small exhibition in preparation for a lecture I gave as part of "BISAR" - "Berlin International Skateboard Artists Residence". I was asked to give a lecture about my artwork, its relationship to Death Metal and skateboard and how that fits, working within in the skateboard industry.

There's more images and info on the BISAR website.

I want to say a massive thanks to Dave the Chimp, Sven, the guys at BISAR, Search and Destroy skateshop and a big cuddle to my mate Ente.

I'll be back in Berlin soon.

Its always good to get emails from fans of your work

2011-04-15T04:33:00.000-07:00

Its always flattering when some one buys a print from my site and I think, thats seriously cool, they must be a like minded person, reasonable and interested in having a piece of my art. Rad!!!

Here's a great email conversation for you:

I ordered the Plague Doctors print from you on March 22. I have yet to hear anything regarding this order. Has it been shipped? If I don't hear from you in 24 hours, I'll assume that you're bullshit and begin the dispute process through Paypal.

Hey Jake,

I mailed your item on the 27th March, as I do all the mail on mondays. It's gone to this address:
xxxx
xxxxx
Salt Lake City, UT 84111
United States

It can take 2 weeks or more sometimes to get to an address as far away as you in the states. Maybe chill, relax, have a cuppa and put your feet up. If it doesn't come in the next 7 days, drop me and an email and we can work out what you wanna do.

Cheers for the rude email.

I guess you're new to how things work on the internet. Let me inform you. When a buyer purchases an item from a seller, the seller provides confirmation that the item has been shipped. The buyer doesn't need to request this because it is assumed. Clearly you're unaware of this because you are new to the internet. That's fine. Hopefully you'll learn. Allow me to continue. The buyer always sends the item with some sort of tracking. This practice has two benefits: 1) The buyer can track where the package is, and 2) The seller has proof that the package has been delivered. You see, if you don't send it with tracking, as I'm assuming you didn't, what is stop me from receiving the package and then claiming I never received it?

A PayPal dispute has been opened. Check your PayPal account.

I couldn't be arse with this nobhead, so I refunded him. I hope he gets the print soon and every time he looks at it he can realise he's a massive twat.
