Alien Workshop x Warhol

Alien Workshop has come out with the second set of their collaboration with Warhol and I'd say this batch is better than the last (see below)! I love skateboards as art so it's nice to see recognized art set in the skate world.

I've got to say that Andy Warhol has been on my radar in a big way since his big retrospective last year at the Grand Palaise. That show really opened my eyes to what he had done outside of the soup cans and the boring movies he's probably best known for. The guy had vision and chops and got stuff done.

If anyone wants to send me one I'm partial to the pink and black self portrait.

Skateboard Art/ Foundation One Gallery

Foundation one gallery has a great fund raiser going. They are auctioning off skateboards painted by lots of well known underground artists. The bidding starts at $100 and the money raised goes to a skatepark.

Shepard Fairey

There's something about skateboards that strikes a chord with me and i'm sure with lots of people who grew up skating, often buying boards based on the artwork alone. I've been getting after my wife for some time to let me buy and hang up a nicely done deck. Maybe while we are in Paris Colette will do another deck. Check out the art here.
