Matt Irving at Atlas Skateshop

Hello folks, I've got a little show coming up at Atlas Skateshop in San Mateo on Saturday June 5th. It's for a board, tee and hat collection that I created for Atlas that uses a number of photos I've shot while traveling over the past few years. I'll also be showing a bunch of screenprints (some old, some new) that will be all framed up and available. Come on by if you have the time, there will probably be a lot of familiar faces.

Dennis McGrath For HUF

Our friend and photographer, Dennis McGrath, along with HUF are having a release party on Thursday, May 20 in Los Angeles.  I'm sure the goods that are slated will include the theme of skateboarding and beautiful women as Dennis has been fond of photographing both over the years.  

HUF LA - 410 N. Fairfax

6-9PM with after party from 9-2AM at Kibitz Room (419 N. Fairfax) with live performance by Hanni El Khatib

Stoked... and nice note pads

We have really great supporters out there and a lot of you have ordered through the Solitary Arts or have patronized one of our fine retailers. We're very appreciative, so thank you.  

We received this little package and in it was a letter and a pad of note paper that was designed by Sean Kuhnke. The note pad is used everyday as I find it pertinent for my day to day note taking.  Thank you, Sean... we've never met in person but we're stoked to have you. Mahalo.

Hope you're digging the Piano Pinner...
