I met Chris about 10 years ago skating in San Francisco and have been friends with him since. We’ve worked together on some fun projects and been general supporters and good natured hecklers of each other’s work. Over the years I’ve seen him do some great projects, make some wonderful artwork and push his limits in his art and skating.

“My personal art, that’s my vehicle,” says Co-founder and creative director of Stereo Sound Agency skateboards, Chris Pastras in a newly released interview excerpt from The Run Up. “When people look at a show they’re almost kinda seeing my diary of my frustrations.”

Dick Wray brings us many many photos from Stereo Sound Agency's 15 Year Anniversary Art Show which had a big opening reception on April 21st at 3131 Clement (also the home of Equal Distribution) in San Francisco. The show runs until May 21. All are welcome to contact gallery to view the exhibit, but no drop-bys. Artists: Chris Pastras, Jason Lee, Clint Peterson, Tobin Yelland, Chris Miller, Matt Irving, Oliver Todd, Ian Johnson, Sage Vaughn, Yoon Sul, Isaac McKay-Randozzi, Bryce Knights, Rostarr, Christian Cooper, Todd Francis and Gabe Morford.
