Okay... Thomas Campbell, Tommy G, Aaron Rose, Clare Rojas and more teaching free workshops? Get your ass to SF!

If you're gonna be in LA this weekend you should definitely try to get to this rare event from Insight.

Not much needs to be said after reading this introduction by photographer Jon Humphries:

“Only in skateboarding will you have two completely opposite personalities that are longtime, great friends. Paul and Clark complement each other’s skateboarding talents by living on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Take a look at the five-day expedition into the New York world of Clark Hassler and the Los Angeles living of Paul Rodriguez.”

So in case you don't read streetwear blogs or just haven't heard yet, Adidas' AZX is a line/project containing their ZX models spiced up by 26 folks from different sneaker stores around the world. These folks were all flown in to Adidas in Germany a few months back and were basically given free reign in terms of materials and colors, and the first first 8 shoes (A to H) in the series dropped a few days ago. Up next (September 20th) are I to P, and included that group of 8 is the pair pictured above from Livestock, repping the letter L. Watch the video below for more...

It kinda fizzled as a skateboard brand in the 90's/early 2000's, but this spring the good people at Freshjive are bringing back a classic: SMA! No hand crafted skateboards will be released in this incarnation of the brand but the first season contains some really strong photo and logo tees, sweatshirts, caps, that sorta stuff. Looking real good, we'll bring you photos of the stuff when it's released.

Would you know that this artwork by Klutch was made from a skateboard if this site wasn't all about art and skateboarding? Would you even care? It stands alone as jus a really cool piece of work, beyond the fact that it's cut out of a blemished deck. More here.

Michael Sieben's new skateboard company is an incarnation of his last one (Bueno) only better; this time around he doesn't have some douchebag businessmen ruining, I mean, running, the show. Have a look at the "ads we can't afford to run" section for some serious brilliance. Also, have a look at the video for Michael's Adidas release.

Been looking forward to seeing this one. Head out to a premiere if the tour rolls through your town... or country.

Arkitip consistently delivers only the highest quality artist prints. This month they're releasing an illustrated example in the form of this one by Evan Hecox.

Beci Orpin does an awesome kids' clothing line that I wish made sizes to fit grown-ass men. Such goodness, she just launched the Tiny Mammoth web site. Have a look then get a store near you to order some so you can buy a gift for your baby mama's baby.

Livestock has started a program where they're releasing artist series t-shirts, designed by folks they've been inspired by over the years, every 45 days. The first was a one-off from graffiti legend Ghost, the current is a series of 3 designs by the always awesome Ben Tour. Below is one, click HERE to see the other two.
