This is a sneak preview trailer for a one off exhibition of 3 deckades of skateboard art that howies and Shiners Distribution are curating at howies 62 Queens Road store in Bristol running from April 17th.

Chris Allen of Shiner has kindly agreed to let us have access to their whole archive of decks. We’ve chosen over 200 favourites which will be on show for a month. With boards from every deckade that Shiners have been distributing the biggest names in skateboarding to the british public it will be a treat for any skateboard fan and graphic freak . There will be decks on show from
Dogtown, Sims, Sant Cruz, Powell Peralta, Vision, Schmitt stix, G & S, Zorlac, Alva, Santa Monica Airlines, plus a host of others.

There will also be a series of one off decks painted by guest artists that will be auctioned for unicef at the end of the exhibition. All boards are hand painted,  Jim Phillips, Geoff McFetridge, Pete Fowler, French, Kev Grey, Will Barras, Mr Jago, China Mike, Marcus Oakley, Andy J Miller, Chris Bourke, Mr Bingo, Bowlegs, Millie Marotta, Gav Strange, Danny Wainwright, Jethro Haynes and Nigel Peake’s boards will all be on show for the month.

Dont miss it.

Just found this exhibition by Haroshi in Tokyo, using old skate decks to make some amazing stuff.

It’s a pity it’s so far away, would have loved to see Mario rocking a Thrasher hat in person.

It was open house over at Girl recently, good times again. Belle and Sebastien “Lazy line painter Jane” soundtrack. i dare you to not crack a smile and pop an ollie at your desk.

the new staircase gallery went up this weekend and for the next month is featuring the work of Russ Longmire aka SKETCH STANCE all illustrtions are up for grabs and come with their own fine charity shop frame…

It’s been tough times for the Blueprint fellas of late, but put the past behind them they have done and just  like the ever proverbial pheonix they have morphed into something (dare i say this) better. i cant post the clip so you’ll have to click to watch it. I’m just so happy to see Shier, Jensen, Kennedy and the team giving it all here. Get ready to feel better than good.
