Foam has been serving global surf and beach lifestyle to young women around the world, delivering core action sports and edgy fashion cross-over via newsstands, surfshops and beach towels for the past 6 years. BXC was asked to improve the book's grid, fonts and overall editorial flow as well as design and art direction. I really like the direction they are going. Clean, modern and still with the edge. I'm also digging that editor-in-chief Kristina Dechter and her staff are intergrating a few more male features in each issue. Check it out.
Refueled magazine has a new West Coast contributor. Artist/Curator Jamie Watson's features will cover surf/skate culture and lifestyles. Look for her interview with DRIFT Magazine editor Joe Conway in the Fall/Winter issue due this November. Welcome abroad Jamie.
Looking forward to releasing the first short from my new company Refueled Films. Starting with the next issue of Refueled Magazine, due out in November, a short "behind-the-scenes" film will be available on the website. Each short will feature the person or subject on that issue's cover. Myself and editor Darrell Stevens are finishng up the first with singer/songwriter Amy Cook.
Sometimes you're just not near a swell. It's in those times you grab your longboard and skate the nose. That's why it's called sidewalk surfing. Grab some concrete today and just say "Fuck it!" and have a cool time.
A friend posted a photo of this motorcycle shop in Los Angeles a couple of days and it just reminded me how rad CHOKEis. A shop with cool scooters, vintage pinball machines and believe it or not, a great espresso - pulled by owner Jeff Johnson himself.
By no means would I call myself a professional photographer. I do however like to dabble with low-fi cameras and capture images the way I see them in my head. Some are grainy snapshots from my iphone, taken along my adventures - like the one I shared for sfgirlbybay'snew series "Talking Pictures".Others are brought to life with a vintage handheld super 8 film camera - images which find their way into short films/videos being produced by my new company Refueled Films. All in all it's about capturing a vibe.
