Remember Dune’s first board on World Industries, the one with the baby he discusses over here? Or the pearl-necklaced naked chick on Randy Colvin’s? Of course you do. What was lesser known is where the inspiration for the actual drawings came from. Artist Marc McKee divulges over at Memory Screened.

Nearly 15 years ago I came across a photo of Cards in the magazine (I think it was Thrasher, but I could be wrong) where he was holding this mourning dove and had a big grin in typical Cardiel style. It was awesome and really stuck out to me so I tried to redraw it back when I was first learning to draw portraits. John Cardiel was one of my favorite skaters then, and he still is today. It’s obvious that this rendition was from my sloppy memory… and for some reason I took the liberty of adding braces to his already well-arranged grill. Maybe I had braces at the time? I’m kind of embarrassed at how I drew him and that I don’t even remember who took the photo but I still think it’s kind of cool.
Being deemed “Daniel Harold Sturt”-worthy isn’t exactly the most common thing in skateboarding. But again, with his groundbreaking part in Plan B’s Second Hand Smoke, Jeremy Wray raised as quite the extraordinary pro, from the mid-’90s on. He’s discussing his own favorite pro-models on Memory Screened.
You always hear of the O’Bradoviches and the Godoys, but H-Street had a totally under-the-radar graphic designer up its sleeve back in the late ’80s: a random Italian dude named Francesco Albertini, who went to the US to live the American dream and ended up designing one of skateboarding’s most famous logos… His journey is summed-up on Memory Screened.
Salad Grind inventor turned tattoo artist, OG Venice head and just plain style oozer whose first boards were silk-screened by Ron-Reyes-from-Black-Flag in person, Eric Dressen reminisces his five favorite pro-models, from Dogtown to Santa Cruz, on Memory Screened.

My good friend and long time skateboarder Teddy Powell otherwise known as Teddy Becks has been making beats for a long time now. Recently working with some hip hop greats, he decided to release this to the public. Click here for the free download. And if you are ever blessed with the chance to see Mr. Becks perform live DO NOT miss it. He’s like the skateboarding Richard Pryor of rap music. Swear.

Otto & Spike have been knitting in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia for the last 40 years, and were part of a burgeoning scene…
Picture Australian youth in Melbourne during the 1970’s, influenced by ska and mods. I’m talking about The Sharpies; clad in Levi’s and custom sweaters, wearing mullets and new-age hairdos. Sharpies focused on looking sharp, which is where their name came from. They were known for trying to outdo one another by customizing their clothes and cardigans.
Check this clip out for more information (and some laughs):

Although Otto & Spike are still going strong today, gone are the days when they made custom cardigans for the Sharpies. Today you will find a company that prides themselves on using the finest lambs wool from Australia and New Zealand, and still using some of the traditional knitting machinery from a time where computers weren’t needed.
Recently I was invited to create a collection for Otto & Spike. Since I love to ride my bike every day, I wanted to design something for people that also share that love. Here are the scarves I recently did, and should be in stores soon for those in Australia, Canada & Japan.
