Savage Skates WOODY TREND

Woody Trend is an Atlanta local, long time skater and artist whose work was recently featured on the cover of Concrete Wave's annual buyer's guide (get yours while you still can!!!). Woody works with several mediums but is most known for his intricate mosaics of glass. The deck mosaic "Fennessey" shown in the image is Woody’s tribute to local Atlanta vert pro, Ray Fennessey. It is the first in a series entitled "Legends of Skateboarding" which so far has included 3 decks with many more to come (Another deck in the series is a famous shot of Chris Miller!). If you are interested in Woody's art work and would like to contact him, he can be reached at woodytrend@hotmail.com and found HERE on MySpace.com where you can view more of his great work. Really killer art!

6/11/2008   Cliver limited edition decks for Supreme ( source AoS )
It's like Supreme just started printing money! They asked Sean Cliver many months back to do two decks in the spirit of his early days at World Industries (ie. graphics to piss people off). Cliver produced the goods, and now, they are the hottest, most-wanted decks around. I have only seen photos of them, and from what I saw, they are definitely "must haves". I talked to Sean the other day, and he said it felt great to get back in that old mindset and do them. The two decks are called "Dick and Jane" which features two kids sacrificing a baby on the den floor in front of their parents and "Halloween" which features children dressed in various controversial costumes such as Hitler, KKK, Jesus, etc. Each deck had a corresponding t-shirt as well. Per Supreme, "This summer Supreme will produce a series of two skateboards with original artwork done by Sean Cliver for Supreme and two original t-shirt designs to coincide with the project release. Available at the NY/LA stores and online on June 12th. Available in Japan stores on June 14th." Past that, no one has seen them first hand. Hell, even Sean doesn't even have them yet! Keep an eye out for these and get them if you can! Check them out over at Supreme.
6/10/2008   Censorship is weak as F##K ( source AoS )
Famed skate artists, Marc McKee and Sean Cliver have been touring with their "Censorship is weak as f##k" art show/retrospective. It is a MUST SEE for fans of the early World Industries days! Check out the blog by Sean Cliver and watch this AWESOME video as well over at JackassWorld.com....CLICK HERE AND ENJOY!

2nd Annual Pat Wachter Bowl Contest is a success! ( source AoS )
May 3rd was the 2nd annual Pat Wachter Bowl contest in Alabama, and once again, ArtofSkateboarding.com was one of the sponsors. This year, the venue changed temporarily as Florence, Alabama breaks ground on a new skatepark to host the event in the future. Last year's pro event was held in Alabaster, Alabama, but that city backed out on this year's contest. This forced organizers to find a new temporary location at Insanity Skate Park in Madison, AL, and par back the contest to an "amateur only" event. The contest,however, was a big success! Guest judge, Creature's Steven Reeves, did a great job and visiting Bacon skaters, Kevin Kowalski and Frank Faria, tore up the every bit of the park! Next year's event will be a return to a PRO/AM contest, and I can't wait! Stay tuned for a full article and photos from this year's Pat Wachter 2 contest coming soon!
Is it Happy Hour yet? ( source AoS )
I have heard rumors latley of a new skateboard company set to launch very soon called "Happy Hour", so named because most of us older guys don't get a chance to skate till after work...ie. happy hour! The company is out of Atlanta, and initially, the team will feature many of Atlanta's legendary skaters, both new and old, including Shawn Coffman, Jimmy O'Brien, Don Hillsman, Ray Fennessey, and more. If rumors are true, this could be one very cool new company to keep an eye on. More news as it comes...until then, enjoy your Happy Hour. *grin*
Where ya been, man ?!?!? ( source AoS )
Wow! Sorry for the lack of updates in quite a while. Truth of the matter is...(1) I have been swamped at work with my *real* job. (2) I have been trying to skate a LOT more lately and get outside more. (3) My development server from which I update this site went down and was in the shop for repairs until just last week. Sooooo...hope that clears things up. I will get back on the ball and get some much needed updates made!

Heat transfer graphics versus screenprinted?
I think they look better.
They have gotten better, but give me screened !
Do not care (I skate them; not collect them)
Low quality crap
Screenprinting is the true art !
