There There, a shirt company for connecting to a placed you live in, use to or have been to. Using artists with roots to the cities the shirts capture different aspects of each location. Above design done by Lisa Romero captured her memory of the Albuquerque balloon festivals. 10% of the proceeds for each shirt go to non-profits in each city.
Not too long ago the kind folks over at Stance sent a nice package of tubed comfort for me to check out. Resulting in this review and this short little video of local kid Jerry skating the socks. Big thanks to Ryan Kingman for the great socks and his generosity.
The fine folks at Heel Bruise just released their Spring 2011 lookbook featuring photos by Robbie Jeffers. Check the full offering here…
Geoff McFetridge and I want to thank both Jef Hartsel and Jay Adams for their love and support!
EZ Ryder skateboards are what we dig here at the Solitary Arts! They make the best handmade boards in our opinion and rightfully so with the history both Hartsel and Adams bring forth with their 35 years of dedication and passion for skateboarding.
Hartsel had a session recently with Chad Hiyakumoto and Jordan DeOliveira back on Oahu and they blessed us with photos of their session on some Solitary Arts boards. Thanks, guys! Tons of amazing photos from Hartsel so check the entire posting on the EZ Ryder blog page as it’s both humbling and stoke-filled, all at once. Read the rest of the blog as well as it’s some of the best vibes you’re going to get from a skateboarding website.
Congratulations also to Jef and Eri!
Welcome, Nainao Kenneth-Zen Hartsell!
MAHALO!

Aside from being a talented rider of wood, Mr. Clint Peterson is also pretty handy and nifty with block prints, wood burning, drawing and other similar types of visual arts. Today he’s having a show in the LA, so if you can make it down or are in the area go there!
When I got kicked off Vans’ flow team some 20 aught years ago, I vowed one day to return. That day has finally arrived…
Looking forward to new challenges and new adventures with the waffle once again beneath my feet. Hope to see you all out there soon!
