I had a lot of fun working on this with Broken Fingaz Crew (Israel) and Em Riem (Cambodia) at Lé Moon rooftop bar Phnom Penh as part of this week’s Tiger Translate event.

It’s been raining a lot in Australia lately. Pretty shit really seeing as it’s summer and well, you know, the beach is awesome.

I just saw a copy of this book published in conjunction with Three Sixty Project’s first annual skateboard deck exhibition in
Australia recently. The exhibition and book are raising funds for skate programs working with under-priveleged youth all
over the world and some photos I’ve taken while working with Skateistan Cambodia feature throughout.

The photos were all taken at Skateistan skate sessions in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and were used with permission from
Friends Int. Mith Samlanh centre and Pour un Sourire d’ Enfant (PSE)

For more information or to support the One X One X One project or Skateistan head to the links above.

I’m sure you’re all aware of the amazing work Skateistan is doing in Kabul, but some of you may not realise that the organisation branched out into Cambodia earlier this year. I’m now volunteering with the team here in Phnom Penh, along with a couple of other guys and girls, and personally I haven’t had as much fun skateboarding for years.

The recent history of this country is well documented and tragic, but Cambodians are moving forward in incredible ways, especially as the youth become more educated and empowered, and skateboarding is proving to be a hugely positive tool for youth development and social rehabilitation. There’s lots to be done, but there’s loads happening already.

Check some of our projects out here kh.skateistan.org and here facebook… it’s only gonna get bigger and better.

In late 2010 I spent time in North East Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia with my girlfriend Ruby volunteering within art centres in remote aboriginal communities. After consultation with elders and others we met we decided to produce a book of photographs and quotes we collected from the Yolngu people who openly invited us into their lives.

The aim of the book is to say thanks to those people by helping to raise awareness of the benefits for indigenous Australians living on the land passed on to them by their ancestors, known as homelands. There is currently very little support from Government within Australia.

These guys are trying to organise something pretty amazing. Arquetopia is a non profit art foundation in Puebla, Mexico. I’ll be visiting them next month and thought I’d help get the word out on this project which they’re trying to raise funds for.
