This winter i have been ‘testing’ the Al Merrick boards I did for Kelly Slater last year. They gave me one of each design, and they been following me around everywhere lately. The blue board in particular. It is a 5.11,  4-fin small wave ripper. The red board is a conventional 6.2.

After some experiments with the local silkscreen buddies at NewTown you will soon be able to get your hands on some Emil Kozak artprints.

I have teamed up with Index Book to author a book about Graphic Design, illustration and artsy shit applied to objects.
If you have some good photos of some killer work you have made, then please send LOW resolution files in. It can be graphics on skateboards, toothbrushes, ipod covers, pillows, cars, bags, winebottles, hats, snowboards and everything in between. We will get back to you for a 300dpi if selected.

Summary:
When I wake up, when I check the time, when I brush my teeth, when I get dressed, when I have breakfast, when I cross the street, when I call to say I’ll be late again, when I work, when I have a break, when I get back home, when I relax and when I go to sleep I am surrounded by graphics and illustrations.
Â
Plenty Of Design takes a comprehensive look at how these graphics have entered our daily lives, and adorn everything from alarm clocks to skateboards. Not only do these graphics apply beauty, life and personality to our objects, but they also create a relationship with us, when they become part of the “visual soundtrack” to our lives.

This friday we went to the opening of the La Mono expo. It is up for a week, and I have some boards laying around in there.

I am having an exhibition at Vallery Gallery in Barcelona. The opening is february 7th at 20:00. There will be music, posters, mixed media pieces, t-shirts, free drinks, candy and much more. See you in the pit!

Gallery address:
The Vallery Barcelona
Calabria, 85 local

Description of the show:
During my short existence on this planet, I have obviously been a kid or a teenager most of the time. Now that I´m a grown up, i would like to believe that imagination and curiosity are still with me.

My mom always tells me she is amazed of all the things i can remember from my childhood. Not only do I remember the usual anecdotes of setting stuff on fire and eating sand, but also how you would be playing your way through the days, wanting to build your own little universe.

The following works, are a celebration of childhood and the art of growing up without loosing the admiration for the little things in life. With this exhibition, I propose a trip to an imaginary blue space, that takes us through the 80´s, the means of transportation, The Fibonacci Code, fun and games, discovery of mortality, and ideas to remind us to dream of better places. Places where you can close your eyes, and for a second live in the moment as if it was the only reality, without worrying about the future and all the things that will go wrong.

Competition:
Send a photo (scanned digital format) from your childhood, or teenageyears, with a short story to go along with the photo. The best anecdotes will be exhibited at the gallery with my work. + The Funniest, sweetest or most crazy childhood memory will be rewarded with a Trading magic for facts T-shirt.

Various Photos from 2007 taken with my cellphone.

Merry xmas to everybody! Santa Rules!
