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).

I Hate the Art of Todd Bratrud

Posted on March 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

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.

Artist Profile: Andrew Pommier

Posted on March 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

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.”

RVCA ANP Features Artist Keegan Gibbs

Posted on January 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

A surfer and traveler, a graduate of film school and photographer, Keegan Gibbs comes from a family of artists. He’s been skateboarding for a long time, too. Out of Southern California, he came, and now uses the same area and aesthetic for much of his creative work. His work branches out though, encompassing many different themes and lifestyles. Keegan in his own words:

“I am an aquanaut on a thruster in this ever amazing and boundless source of liquid energy. For me every choice and relationship, all decisions and waking thoughts (and most dreams) are influenced by the pull of the tides, the whiff of an offshore breeze, and the lucid corduroy lines gracefully stampeding towards the coast.”

He’s made a few rad videos that you can see below.

The RVCA Beach Crest T-Shirt represents your lifestyle. Your life. Quality crest graphic at front created by RVCA featured artist Keegan Gibbs. Thin and lightweight. A 100% cotton t-shirt.

Photos below by Gibbs.

The dude has a million websites, check out his Tumblr and this one.

RVCA ANP Artist Arien Valizadeh

Posted on January 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

Iranian-American painter, collage artist, cartoonist, and photographer Arien Valizadeh is based out of Los Angeles, California. His focus rests both poignantly and slightly shockingly on terrorism and the people behind it. Preconceived notions, socio political dialectic, media induced animosity and misconception, tradition, custom, ethnicity, and more can be seen as themes within his work.

The video below was shot of an art show that featured Arien Valizadeh as well as Darren Ankenman, Curtis Kulig, Eva LeWitt, Barry McGee, Dana Oxley, Benedict dos Remedios, Gordon Stevenson, and Sage Vaughn.

We’ve got an RVCA ANP t-shirt featuring the work of Arien Valizadeh. The Straight Cold Chillin is like something you’d find at the estate sale in heaven. RVCA’s Cold Chillin T-Shirt features one helluvan armchair. Hot graphic at front created by RVCA featured artist Adien Valizadeh. RVCA labeling at base of neck. Thin and lightweight. A 100% cotton t-shirt.
