Charles' Ramp

YOUR PASSAGE OF TIME IS MY METAPHOR FOR TRUTH

Been a pretty mellow week/ weekend.  Haven't gotten out to do much.  I was in San Mateo on Saturday afternoon and I got a chance to skate Charles' ramp.  Its small but really fast.

Me backside slash.

Phoenix lionfoot front smith.  Kids got a future.

Bordertown

THE RALLYING CRY IS NOW A SCREAMING

I went to bordertown on Saturday.  I'd heard of it, but I'd never been there before.  Its an awesome grouping of bowls, built by hand by the people who skate it.  Right now, they need money.  YOU SHOULD DONATE.

Jeff back tail.

So Jeff's friend Popa was in town from Spain.  Fuckin ripper.

Goodbye bordertown.  Thank you and I hope you get some cash.

PATTERN AGAINST USER

I went by the hallway bathroom gallery on saturday.  There was some sweet art hanging on the walls there.  I didn't get any names though, sorry bout that!  Anyway, you should buy some art from Brion.

Detail.  Trippy.

This piece is awesome.

Went by Rowan Morrison on the way home.  Nice gallery, nice folks.  They got some heavy hitters comin up in '09.  Here are Chris Russell and Mike Don't Know Your Last Name Dude Sorry with Rowan Morrison Guy lurking.

THEY GOT ART ALL OVER THAT WALL!

Went to the city to pick up this gem.  Collaboration with Gaelen McKeown.  Thanks Gaelen!

Went by Abobe Books to see what was in the backroom. Adobe is 

great. Go there. 16th between Valencia and Guerrero. Buy books. Give them your money.

Some lighthearted work from Randolph Colsky.  Liked these two.

Went here.

Did this.

So throughout the course of the day I kept stumbling on all of this awesome graf.  

Here are the heavy-hitters roaming the streets of SF these days:

And back to the town.
