Juxtapoz Anniversary Event Sat Nov 14

Skating and art go hand in hand. I really think that this is because Skating was the first sport in which the equipment was decorated by artists. Think about all the classic deck artwork over the years and how it has entered popular culture. Here are a few of the most famous designs:
Powell Peralta: Iconic artwork from the 80’s, that is now on t-shirts that rappers wear.
AWA: The man, the legend
Alien Workshop: These are the iconic Omar Hassan decks from back in my day. This image was everywhere.
Juxtapoz Magazine is having a 15th anniversary party and it looks like it’s going to be quite the shin-dig and will feature art from skaters such as, Ed Templeton and Mark “Gonz” Gonzales. To learn more about the event go to www.juxtapoz.com.
