SKETCHY

Old Town Bar
Old Town Bar, NYC.

Boy Phezzer turned me onto this blog by an old friend of ours called Steve Gardner. It's quite amazing to think that Steve's been avidly sketching every day for over 20 years! The man was obviously born to draw.

SKUH!

I just really like skulls - maybe it's because they're so black & white, or maybe because they symbolise one of the few certainties in life.

mono skull
Simple skullage


Mike Giant skull
Mike Giant - awesome mono work


Pushead skull
Pushead - past master of skullduggery


Mexican decorated skulls
Mexicans love skulls - and bright colours!


Chocolate skulls
Mexican Day of the Dead chocolate skulls

LOPEZ


Gerry Lopez
"The wave is just the music and if you get a good part­ner (in your surf­board), you can dance pretty good."

I love this image of Gerry Lopez, by Jeff Divine, it's very different to the usual iconic, backlit Pipeline shots of him getting tubed. But it still oozes style for miles. Click over to the excellent Liquid Salt for a cool interview...

VINTAGE ADS

So much good stuff on this site... tons of vintage visuals.

shaving foam
Hey, that's what I'm imagining when I'm scraping the stubble too.


surf woody
I must take up smoking this year.


Spanish Civil war
Lots of propagandist art.


Schlitz beer ad
When actual artists worked in advertising.


slacks
The 5.05 to Slacksville - that's just brilliant!


playboy advert
... a man that likes to snorkel - that's who!


jeans
A perfect reminder that what's cool today, is often ridicule tomorrow.


macho aftershave
Worth buying for the packaging alone.
