SW Art Fart

Straight out of the artsy bunghole of the skateboarding industry comes some news on the art scene. Firstly, we found out Russ Pope will be putting on his first solo art show. The show, titled Tax Included, happens April, 5th, (this Thursday) at the AR4T Gallery in California. Skate Warehouse is a big fan of Pope’s, from his work with Scarecrow to Creature to Fallen Footwear to Vans. We even rock one of his original painting out in the shop (seen below). Check out some of the Pope goods we’re carrying at SW now. Click the pics for more info.

I Hate the Art of Todd Bratrud

From sock puppets to Creature, from Consolidated to “Send Help”, Todd Bratrud does what he does like a bad ass. The newest book to hit the pages of Skate Warehouse is the super awesome I Hate the Art of Todd Bratrud where Bratrud’s work is laid out in a quick and painless publication.

Today he is the owner of High Five Skateboards, but Bratrud started out as the art director for Consolidated Skateboards back in 1999. Since then and throughout the years the guy has done graphics, stickers, ads, and apparel for practically everybody worth mentioning in the Skateboard biz, from Consolidated to Flip, Birdhouse, Enjoi, Black Label, Creature, Real, Nike SB, and Volcom, Bratrud has had a part. He is also an illustrator and blogger for The Skateboard Mag. I Hate the Art of Todd Bratrud is published by Mark Batty Publishers and is available now at Skate Warehouse. Click the pictures below or head over and get your copy HERE.

The Duane Peters Signature Indy Truck

In honor of out new Independent Stage 10 Duane Peters LTD Trucks, we’ve dedicated a post to the epic Mr. Peters himself. Duane Peters in a skateboarding icon, named Transworld Skateboarding’s “Legend” in 2003 and the guy behind the invention of tricks like the “acid drop”, the “layback grind”, the “Indy air”, the “Sweeper”, the “backside layback grind revert”, the “fakie hang-up” (a.k.a. “Disaster”), the “invert revert”, the “fakie thruster”, and the “loop of death”, a full 360-degree rotation in a specially designed loop. Aside from skateboarding, Peters formed the punk rock bands the US Bombs, Political Crap, Die’ Hunns, Duane Peters Gunfight, and Exploding Fuckdolls. The Master of Disaster, Duane Peters is a legend.

Artist Profile: Andrew Pommier

A new Andrew Pommier video from SBC Skateboard Magazine has us pretty stoked over at Skate Warehouse. In it Pommier talks about sketch books, skateboarding, his new deck series with Kitsch and more.  Have a look and then check out some Pommier and RVCA T-Shirts at Skate Warehouse.

SBC wrote, “14 years ago, a then brand new mag called SBC Skateboard started using the quirky illustrations of one of their staff photographer’s brothers. Now not only are Andrew Pommier’s drawings still a staple in the mag, you can also see his work gracing beer cans, shoes, pro model boards and countless other places.”
