Bishopdale Skate Jam Poster
We’ve been working hard lately on a few skate event posters for Cheapskates Skate Skool, and utilising some of the photography we’ve captured with their Grom of the month section. Here’s a design that we’re pretty pleased with featuring Vinnie Bolt ripping up a frontside air for us. Find out more about the Bishopdale Skate Jam here. T’will be good!

An awesome display of young skaters where hucking things up down at the Regionals last weekend. Seriously I think this is the largest volume of entrants in the 13 and under I’ve seen, and the majority of them skated mind-blowingly well.

Read on to see a few pics from the day. To see even more head over to the Skate Skool News Page.

Gracing The Walls

Posted on: No Comments

Over this week I’ve finally had the chance to fire a couple of design pieces up on the bare office walls, both old and new. One is an early gig poster I designed about 5 years ago for our punk rock band Illreceived. A2 in size, and hand screenprinted (3 colours) by Jared Davidson. I don’t think the colour would fade on this thing in 100 years!

The other poster I purchased from New York designer Alonzo Felix. I love the message and the typographic treatment, and the detail is fantastic. It too is a screenprint (2 colour) and 18″x 24″ in size.

Vincent Bolt » Frontside Air

As the months roll on, so does Cheapskates Skate Skool’s Grom of the Month feature. Our involvement has been to get a few tricks captured through the lens of these young (and very talented) guys. For August we had Vinnie Bolt (above), and last month we had Dan Kelcher (below).

See more images over at the Skate Skool website.
