Nike SB’s resurgence of their wavering Dunk line continues as they go back to basic materials and dope colorways that appeal to the masses and not the asses. Vapors posted a new Star War’s Boba Fett inspired Dunk High that will release at select Nike SB accounts. Done in suede and leather, the color combos are reminisent of the quality releases of 6 years ago.
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.
