I just got a new book called Art, Skateboarding, and Life! It is great, it chronicles the experiences of east coast pro skateboarder and artist Andy Howell. Andy was an inspiration to all of us skateboarders on the east coast of the United States in the late 80's early 90's. It's a good one!!!!

I just had to post something on The Gonz, artist, poet, skater! This is Mark Gonzales he is a legend in the skateboarding world. For all you Architecture / Design heads, he was involved in the Mood River exhibition events at The Wexner Center for the Arts that was curated by Jeff Kipnis. The Gonz also has his own skateboard company called KROOKED!
So get it straight check out KROOKED!
