anthology of skate photos, graphics, and illustrations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is beautiful. Thick, and extremely well designed mixing skateboarding photos, articles, and street stlye graphics and illustrations. Featuring such legendary artists as Futura 2000, Haze, and Shepard Fairey of "Andre the Giant has a Posse" fame. Not to mention photos and text about musicians such as DJ Shadow, Jeru, and Wu-Tang. For fans of this vein of art, music, and styles, this book is a masterpiece.
skate culture etc documented in sharp inspired graphics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
this is a best-of collection from the german magazine Lodown. it's pure candy for the eyes as well as a great documentary of current skate culture etc. (also has great coverage of street graphics, music, and snowboarding). the Lodown stuff is miles ahead of most other like-minded journals and stands alone in sheer quality and craft. text is in english. get this book!
