In Canada


I'm in Canada for about a week.
Got some cool photos.
These were all up and down the Highway from Ottawa to Montreal.
Oriana liked them so I thought I would post this pic.

Andy Takakjian


This is all I have left from my skate days in the 80's.
I got this from my buddy Luke.
This graphic was done by Andy Takakjian.
He did allot of the art for Vision in the 80's from what I know.
I read somewhere he did this cut & past and a Sharpie marker.

Pin-a-go-go '08










Pin-a-go-go
I took a lot of snap shots of the pinball art at this years show.
Like last year, loads of great games.
Dave "Mad Dog" Christensen is in my opinion the best pinball artists.
Have a close look at the Captain Fantastic back glass art, there's lots of hidden shit.
His art was controversial for the day not to mention edgy and down right kick ass.

I was standing by this machine talking to Wade and Joe from Pinball mafia and suddenly Joe points to the boat riding the wave and says "That's fucking dope!"

Van-O-the week (05 12 08)





Van of the week.
This thing is fucking nuts.
The painter and owner is Ivan Benic of Windsor Ontario Canada. At least that what is says in Vans and trucks magazine 1976.
Check out Ivan and his girl, what a hip couple!


Got this bad boy at the county fare last summer.

ROTH mug


My buddy Steve from AB supply auto paint store gave me this mug the other day.
I was like "Hey Steve, what's that hanging up over there?" and he was like "I got it from Dennis Roth, take it, it's yours! Thanks Steve.
It's a Robert Williams design he did for Roth in the 60's.
It's also in the book "The Lowbrow art of Robert Williams.

Found


My friend Mike LaVella gave me this, not sure were he got it but it was definataly a found photo.
Trev (The art of trev. post below) used to collect found photos.
He had so many. He had his own section "Trev's found photos" in my old fanzine from the 90's "Dirty".
This was before Vice and Found magazine.
I think I have that mask kicking around.

More Trev


Just found this.
My favorite is the guy in the bottom right corner.

The art of Trev





Trevor Borrens AKA Trev. is my oldest friend.
We've been best friends since grade school.
The first time I met him was in detention, he had crazy glued fake dog shit to the teachers desk and I was like "This guys cool".
We've had many adventures over the years and I will defiantly post them but I wanted to write this one about his art.
We used to do allot of drawing together in the 90's when I lived in Canada. Trev is extremely creative and comes up with the funniest shit.
He went threw a faze in the 90's where he would draw these little one frame comics on the back of cigarette packs.
"Earwig Talk" Friendly giant glass tiger" "Sluts" and it was all creepy deformed people saying and doing weird shit. It's hard to just write about it, you just have to see it.
I have a big collection of these i will be posting in the neer future.
In the meantime check out these pics and his latest work:
