Our friend Parra, former cover artist and getting set for an exhibition in NYC at Jonathan LeVine in the coming month, just released a t-shirt with our brothers at Thrasher Magazine today. Nothing says a good time like having a skateboard in the ... wait a second...

This past Friday the 13th, bad luck was celebrated at Neck Face’s Simply The Worst opening at New Image Gallery in Los Angeles, Calif. Art collectors, graffiti enthusiasts, and the elite of skateboarding showed up to support Neckface. The respect is mutual, as Neck Face says, "Those are my people, they know who I am and I know who they are. We all come from the gutter."

Ed Templeton, the photographer, fine artist, and former professional skater who we have had in the magazine over the years (most recently, the February 2012 issue) was recently the subject of a Leica produced interview and video spotlight. And, because we are dealing with a Leica, its a bit on the classy side.

The online bidding auction began on May 19, and the art show that coincides with the auction begins on May 26 in Detroit.

A beautifully shot skate video, with the title taken from a line in an essay about Peter Pan, Joe Pease has created an alternate reality by focusing on the shadow as opposed to the person skating. After awhile, it becomes like a symphony of shapes and movement. The Nick Cave helps.

The universal language of this video, produced by Mountain Dew in Japan and involving a Magic Box event going on in Harajuku, Tokyo this weekend, is skateboarding and the artwork of former Juxtapoz featured artist, PEZ. The SF-based graffiti artist has his famed pyramids and color style animated for each skater to navigate around.

Boom and Holenite Pool are reproducing 3 of these pin-ups as limited edition skate decks created by the famed french painter and sculptor, who has produced a huge body of extra- ordinary pinup art that is technically exquisite and playfully provocative.
