Vista Skate And Art Magazine From Brazil
December 9th, 2009 / 2 Comments » / by Jonathan Young
The web is packed with information, videos, pictures, social networks, interviews´- you name it, you can find it and about 20 times more than you can ever consume and that’s a really bad estimate. We’re being flooded with information and yeah, I’m contributing to the flood, regurgitating information that you can find as well and sometimes I do ask myself if all that I am doing is for any good.
Hell yeah! Plain and simple, we all decide for ourselves if we are going to just have friends online, spend our time in chatrooms and believe we are cool if we have over 1000 Twitter friends. I don’t care about that – the possibility to use the means of communication are fantastic and when I find a goldmine which has it’s roots all the way over in Brazil (Vista.art.br is the website I’m talking about here!), I just love the web for what it has to offer! The people behind this website have put together a great mix of skateboarding, art and music and from what i can barely understand due to the language, it even looks like they have a print mag going (??)…click on the picture below for an online Flash mag packed with animated pages, pictures and a bunch of videos – just plain good work here!
D*Face And The Ridiculous Backyard Pool Project
November 23rd, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Long story made short: Peter King and Steve ‘Salba’ Alba discovered yet another beautiful pool in the backyard of another vacant property in the States. This one is so perfectly rounded and smooth that it was named the “Ridiculous Pool”. Not wanting it to be destroyed, the property was bought and UK-based artist D*Face stenciled the shit out of the pool…man, it does look just incredibly smooth!

Cliché Skateboards and the Résumé Book and Board Series
October 27th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Cliché Skateboards have come a long way since 1997 when Jérémie Daclin started the company up with just about nothing. 2009 and it’s a completely different ballgame with an internationally renowned team, top videos and expansion around the globe. Putting all of the history behind this amazing development is the brand new 320-page book entitled “Résumé“, written by Mackenzie Eisenhour and art directed by the ill Studio in Paris.
The high quality hardback book will be available this Christmas 2009 and around the same time a special limited series of seven decks will be hitting the market as well. Looking good and the future of this team as well – hope to get my hands on a copy of this book soon!

For a lot of people going to a museum isn’t always the same as having a lot of fun – depends on your attitude and what type of museum of course. But the Matix Clothing team and friends had a different idea about how a visit to a museum can look like and headed to St. Louis for the rare opportunity to skate a museum! Here’s the footage featuring:
Marty Murawski, Randy Ploesser, Torey Pudwill, Jimmy McDonald, Mike Anderson, Jon Nguyen, Tony Karr, and Willy Akers
Peppermint Zine cover art
May 5th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
I just found this relatively new underground magazine going by the name of “Peppermint Zine” and all I currently know about it is what the cover shows, that it probably has something to do with skateboarding and that the person running the blog with the info is a skater from Caen in France who likes playing the sax and drinking tea. Currently the mag is available in selected skate shops in France and England.
You can get in contact with them here and advertise as well…I’m sending off a mail right now to find out more! Great graphics that’s for sure – love to have the cover as a poster!
