Robert Frank is God!
Robert Frank's book, The Americans made waves by showing America's unseemly underbelly.
RIP and Thanks For All The Art!
Another one of the Greats and one of my favorites, Robert Rauschenberg has passed on.
He was one of the first artists I learned about when I got out of high school and took college art classes. A major influence on a lot of people.
The Hottest Car in Skateboarding
The summer of 1985 was when I made my first trip to Europe. I went for a month and a half by myself and met up with various skater friends as I traveled.
I took the overnight train up to Stockholm, Sweden and went to Per Welinder's hometown of Taby and he and I went down the road to the Swedish Summer Camp in Hagernas. Back in the day before boards lost weight and before Barcelona became the skate Mecca, it was customary for skaters to flock to the two skate camps in Europe, the Swede camp and the French camp in Bourges, France. It's always great to meet up with your good friends when you're in a new place. I met up with Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen and Mofo. The Powell guys had been there for a spell and had it all down. They had bought a beater car in order to escape the mundane camp life and food, a Peugeot if I am not mistaken. Lance and Tony decorated it in the art of the day and preceded to take it off jumps on a daily basis. Where are my jump shots?
Shark Attack
There was a fatal shark attack across the street from our office in Solana Beach this morning. 
Update: My old landlord was the victim, my thoughts go out to David Martin's family.
D Way
Danny stopped by to sign some posters and decks yesterday. I asked him to write a personal note on my Plan B/The Skateboard Mag Collab board.
The message Danny penned brought a tear to my eye.
Garsh Dude...
