The photography of Brian Kelley.

Living in New York I often meet some of the most talented people in their chosen field and never even realize until I get linked up to them on the computer. One such photographer is Brian Kelly, or BK as I know him. We met at Zoo York awhile back and I knew he was a photographer but never of his amazing talent. BK's photos are not your ordinary skate photos, they are so much more. He takes into account all of the small details as well as the large ones. His colors, settings, lighting, and composition all play an important part of what he shoots and the results are original and inspiring.

BK's clients include some of the best including Nike, 5Boro, HUF, 12 Oz. Prophet and Red Bull.

5 Boro Skateboard series.

Steve R and Nardelli over at 5Boro asked me to design two pro decks for their new line. Here are the results. Always fun working for 5 Boro and seeing my designs ridden by kids around the city.

5Boro had their 13 year anniversary in June of this year and had a wall of every deck they ever produced!
Good times and amazing to see the level of talent that has designed for them over the years.

New Skateboard Graphics Book by J. Namdev Hardisty

I have some artwork in a new book titled "New Skateboard Graphics" by J. Namdev Hardisty and published by Mark Batty. The book features some great skateboard artwork done by the big names Don Pendleton, Ed Templeton, Dave Kinsey, Kimou Meyer, Eli Gesner, Mark Gonzales and Mark Nardelli. The book has a foreword by Michael Leon. It is definitely worth checking out and you can order it here.

Thanks to Steve R at 5Boro for pushing my artwork.
