I am having an exhibition on July 16th at the POVevolving Gallery in LA entitled SUMMERWINTER.

I began thinking about the  SUMMERWINTER concept about a year ago. It was a natural seasonal progression after my Autumn inspired show at colette in Paris. I wanted to convey the way that seasons are different in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, and how opposites attract… That feeling that one could not exist without the other, and that things all become one in the end.

For this show, I took a minimalist approach in my work, which was inspired by my husband. I have always been about color, but in this show I kept the pallet strictly to black, white and grey. I also experimented with other textiles and media for this show… Along with my sewn creatures, I created a limited edition Ombré dyed scarf to symbolize black and white becoming one (grey). My husband and I also created a short film that will be shown at the exhibition.

The entire show centers around a single love story between the characters Summer andWinter, who fall in love. Even though they live on opposite sides of the world, they consummate their love, and perform a seasonal dance of love for eternity.

Don Pendleton has long been a favorite of mine, from his board graphics to his personal art. When I heard he was painting a mural at the Juice offices I made time and spent a couple days watching him paint. Full feature with video over at COLOR Magazine.

Love & Guts began in 2005 as a skate influenced art show. Five years later, the traveling exhibition made its way to New York, at the Red Bull Space in Soho.

Amber and I were in New York to cover the exhibit, which featured skateboard icons Chad Muska, Don Pendleton, Lance Mountain, Pat Ngoho, Steve Caballero, Steve Olson, and a host of other creatives.

“Eyes Wide Open” was the theme of this show, which paid tribute to the unique characters within skateboarding, who sadly, are no longer with us.

Here’s the short film we created, documenting the installation and theme of the exhibition, and below that are links to the photo series by Amber.

An edit of some casually gathered footage by Blueprint filmer Jake Harris during our boy Sam Taylor and Blueprint’s Tom Knox recent visit to Malmo.

Element just released its new line of skate obstacles, called “DROP SPOT”. We shot the commercial series in San diego at the Transworld warehouse.

Kirk Dianda, Ricki Bedenbaugh and Marc Falkenstien directed and shot the commercials together. The stars of the shoot were Chad Tim Tim, Vanessa Torres, Julian Davidson, Lacey Baker and Levi Brown, plus Ryan Dewitt who kept everyone out of trouble.

It was a long day of shooting, but the end result, edited by Kirk Dianda, looks really cool. Check out the commercial here or catch it on FUEL, and below are some behind-the-scenes photos from the day.
