Tell me what’s going on with this show you got going on right now in NYC?
The show is called SKATE LIFE. It is a collection of images that represent the last five years I’ve spent skateboarding and shooting all over the world. The show is in the lower east side of Manhattan at PANDA gallery. It will be up from November 22 to December 22.
Do you have photos from all the places you’ve gone on tour with Natural Koncept and other people?
Yeah the bulk of my images come from all the tours that I have been on with Natural Koncept for sure. I pulled images from the East and West coast tours as well as Mexico City and Spain Trips. The rest are mostly my homies shredding NYC and the Northeast.
Is there any theme that you’re running with for the show?
I don’t really have a theme. I just tried to put together the rawest images that I feel represent the core and heart of Skateboarding.
Other than this art show what else have you been working on?
I’m currently filming for my video part for Natural Koncept’s Polygamy that will be coming out early 2011. But for the most part just trying to skate and shoot as much as I can.
Where else can people see work from you if they can’t make it to the show while the exhibit’s up?
The Transworld Skateboarding website has all the tours, trips and contests I’ve covered. Also the Levil Uniform Magazine site. My flickr and my blog CHECK IT!!!!!!!
The people over at Natural Koncepts have brought you on trips in the past do you plan on traveling more with them or anyone else in the future?
NK ALL DAY!!! we have a world tour coming up next year that I’m hyped on. I’m down to go on trips with other people but as of now no opportunities have come up. I’m headed to Hartford this weekend to skate a secret spot with the shut/ Skate Lair crew that is described by Eric Munday from Skate Lair as “wallos on CRACK” So SICK!!!
Would you like to thank anyone that’s helped you out with this show or anyone in general?
