I have been very fortunate to have become friends with 2 of my favorite artists out there,
Evan Hecox from
Chocolate Skateboards and
Steven Harrington from
National Forrest. Evan has done graphics for Chocolate for probably close to or over ten years now and I have been a fan since the very beginning. His fine art work is really what drives his inspiration for skateboard decks and in the past few years Evan has really blown up in the gallery world. A couple years ago I shot photos of him installing a show at the original
Art Prostitute Gallery in Denton and a few months ago a few of the images were chosen to be used in his first large format book titled "
Urban Abstract". Steven Harrington, who has done a ton of graphics for Element Skateboards, a series of snowboards for Burton, and art directed a good number of catalogs for Urban Outfitters has also just released a book titled "
You & I". The release of this book coincided with a solo art show that opened in Milan, Paris, Berlin, & Barcelona. Some images I shot from his show also at the old A.P. in Denton were used in his book. It's been very cool to meet and become friends with these artists and I am very honored to have been a part of their projects. Thanks Guys!
