Design Major: Club Mumble x Threadless

-This info in the image basically explains it (check the shirts at Threadless,) but I'd just like to remark on how great resource Club Mumble is for all things skate-art related. I've explained in the past how Don Pendleton's work for Alien Workshop had a huge influence on my artistic tastes as I was getting deep into skateboarding at the beginning of the decade. Dope stuff.

Art Major: Rip the Ripper

-These images are from the recent event Rip the Ripper, which showcased different artist's reworkings of the iconic Powell logo.  The one on the left is by Shepard Fairey and, interestingly, shows the ripper tearing through Fairey's second-most iconic print. The painting on the right is from Don Pendleton, whose signature style shaped the look of Alien Workshop at a time when I was very much a fan of the Sovereign Sect. Check out the rest of the pieces, including works by legendary skaters Steve Caballero and Lance Mountain, here.
