did you say free beer?
I'm there dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, finally, after a lot of set-backs, my first shoe for Vans has been released!
(or will be in a week or so)
it's called the "Wake Up" shoe, and it's a white leather and printed canvas Mid School model - the same shoe that Tony Alva rides! Hell yeah! Not only does my shoe look great, but it'll also be great to skate in! And they are dead comfy - I'm wearing a pair as I type!
it also has sleepy tattooed toes on the insole, and a crystal clear waffle sole, through which you can see the toes and my ambigram signature (flip it upside down and it still reads the same!) my eyes/holes "logo" is embroidered on the heel (so that the shoes look at each other) and as well as pink laces you also get a yellow and an orange pair.
I also designed two t-shirts to go with the shoe, designed the exterior of the box, and a fanzine/poster which is being given away free in Vans stores in London and Berlin (and possibly Barcelona)
if you want a pair but don't live in any of those cities, try these websites:
BIG news a comin'...
yeah! the latest issue of +1 magazine, the "arts" supplement of Document skateboard magazine, is now out. and it's free in UK stores!
and better still, it has a seven page feature on me!!! that's one more page than Shepard Fairey gets in the same issue! oh wait, I did the cover too, so that's eight pages of Chimp-ness, for free! Hell yeah!!!
if you don't live in the UK, or can't make it to a shop (hey, maybe you broke your ankle skating or something) you can't download a pdf of the whole magazine from here:
as well as Shep and me, this issue also has an interview with Rich Jacobs about zines, plus the usual quality book club and cooking pages, and an interview with skater turned clothing label Keith Hufnagel. this mag is fast growing into a quality read, and the fact it's free is amazing!
check it out, you'll be glad you did
