pens ply and joy

here's another board i've started. artwork is an intense collection of skate related things i guess -> started drawing pool titles and ended up with this. ->will put more pictures up when i cut them (still have power problems in the work shop)
thinking that this will just be an 8.25" standard shaped board

rom flick #1

ok here are some of the shots from rom strung together (...again, i know i am trying to get a camcorder of some sort): loving the slash grinds.

dipping toes in the pool

Rom is somewhere i should of gone years ago, so thanks to nigel of geoform skateparks (of spectrum) for the lift & guided tour. i knew it was gnarly but really words don't do it justice (just check the cracks in the photos) got to test jaws in a real pool which was jokes - need some harder wheels though but 58mm min.

the maw

Here is the start of my latest deck the maw - experimenting with diff pens + inks . one of the wax coats smudged one all over my lovely white lines.

skater flees from Ghost Rider of Ladywell

cantelowes - lines tests part2

ok these are some of the first trials of trying to shoot time based stuff on a skateboard. is tricky. still playing with the burst stuff until i get a real camera sorted...

cantelowes revisted

Sunshine finally allows abit of slashing and tearing for jaws (my new shape - jo). and also some more complex test shots for lines (our little documentary project) they'll be up soon as. in the mean time heres jaws in action:
(also the yoot in the last to pictures wanted me to snap his new tricks so here they are:)

northwest documentary

Props to buchtis3 of youtube for posting up northwest. (& tom for pointing me to it) a superb super 8 documentary By Nichols/Charnoski (of fruit of the vine fame). if you haven't seen it yet then it's a must, and if you have, well you know you want to see it again.

Buy the real thing & other amazing films direct from six stair

"Filmed entirely in Black & White Super 8, Northwest expands on the theme from the Skateparks of Oregon video (without the whole story line) as we follow some of the most influential skateboarders/artists/philosophers of our time on a journey through their scene in the Pacific Northwest. The do-it-yourself attitude that prevails among the skaters of the Northwest is highlighted throughout the film. We witness the design and creation of their own skate facilities, a tour through the garage-based M&M Skateboard facility, and hit the road on a variety of skate excursions."

jaws!

Another pool board -> wax and polished for a lipslide tasktic ride (hell if you carve into a tail stall it slides. slightly too short in the nose though).

(finally) lines at peckham

ok yesterday the English summer stopped just long enough to get a quick sesh at peck's bowl. turned up and to our un ending delight it was awash with glass. 10 mins with an impro broom and gaffa tape saw it all right. untill now this has relly just been a bowled mini ramp with no 'real' bowl lines. BUT they do exsits --> these are a couple of trials flicks for our lines project. more coming soon.
about 20mins in i gave my elbow a treat, and a gnr. hipper to boot. savage.

film test #1

ok - not had time to try and get a vhs camcorder, but this is a little film created from burst shooting photos. i really like it's rough ass vibe. really wanted to try this with shots from the cantelowes but it's pissed it down all week so heres my flat mate eating chips...

lines & lines & lines

ok heres to the birth of lpb's latest project LINES.
in which we'll be mapping and filming the sweetest lines of cantelowes.
hoping to get back to the old school with some direct to vhs film. expect scratches, sh*t sound and plenty of static, 'cos thats the way we like it (and super 8 is too expensive)

so if anyones got an old vhs cam corder let us know - other wise it's down deptford market....

untitled #1
