SuperFishal Collaborative Skate Decks


Each season superFishal introduces a new series of three collaborative board graphics which are screenprinted in small limited editions.  The concept is to take two artists with completely different styles and have them converge to make a really unique board graphic.  This Fall/Winter season sees Jeremy Fish collide with skater/artist Andy Howell to form ‘The Spirit’ deck, which features a couple of Jeremy’s classic
figures set in a back drop of Howell’s intricate brush strokes.  In his collaboration with Mike Giant entitled ‘The Serpent’ we see Jeremy’s style mashed into Mike’s tattoo based creations.  And Jeremy’s conspiring with Scrawl Collective’s Will Barras leads to a board called ‘The Stack’ which features the motorcycle version of Noah’s Ark.  Each board retails for $80 at upperplayground.com

Todd Francis - “New and Used” Exhibition

3131 Gallery is proud to announce our latest exhibition, a 15 year retrospective of Mr. Todd Francis’ graphic artwork for Real, Stereo, Anti-Hero, New Deal and Element Skateboards along with a new series of paintings.  The opening reception on Friday, September 26th, 2008 7-11PM will present a selection of graphics spanning his career thus far from his current tenure at Element to his earlier years at Deluxe Distribution (home to Real, Anti-Hero and former home of Stereo) during the mid to late ’90s. Over the years he created some of the classic images of those brands, helping them become staples in the skateboard industry.

During the pre-computer days in skate graphics the majority were hand drawn at 100% scale. Since only one was needed no multiples were made, making each of the illustrations in the show all the more unique. Original pieces will be shown alongside selected skate decks on the gallery walls.

Music performance by Tommy Guerrero and friends with food catered by the Tee-Off Bar and Grill and beverages by Lagunitas Ale.
