We're proud to have the Solitary Arts skateboard products available at Arrow + Beast.  Thanks to Matt Irving, Jasha, Pete, and our Hawaiiian brother, Gene Dadoy for taking care of the logistics from California to Stuttgart, Germany.

Moonlighting with Cassy Song and Mark Kushimi

Mark Kushimi has been supportive of both Geoff McFetridge and myself and the Solitary Arts for some time. Contrast Magazine issue number 5's, 10-page editorial of our Solitary Times was graciously curated by Mark (Creative Director/Editor-in-Chief). He's been steadily shooting photos for us from Hawaii and recently sent these shots of Cassy Song customizing her Moonlights shirt.   

Mahalo, Mark and Cassy!

Jay Nelson

It started with the Honda when I first met Jay Nelson... It’s been about 5 or 6 years since then and now, his new site is up and running! You can view an amazing collection of his builds and inspirations in one place at http://news.jaynelsonart.com. Also, visit Jay's boat at Mollusk San Francisco, while it's on display.  

Happy Birthday, Bob!

Frontside edger in Pennsylvania, circa 1986 with another one in San Francisco in 2011.  Check-out the back arm and hand positioning... same classic-style, 25 years and shredding!  

Happy Birthday, Bob Lake!

Solitary Arts Summit at Champion Studio

Bob Lake and myself drove down from the bay to visit Geoff and his excellent assistant, Aaron Carretti (diggin' the hair, Aaron!) at Geoff's Champion Studio in Atwater Village.  The Solitary Arts Spring Summit ended with a skate session near Geoff's studio before we headed down to the ProTec Pool Party later that evening (Big Mahalo to Ed Son!).  We can't wait for the next SA Summit since our new Solitary Arts rider will hopefully be joining us!  

Huck Magazine Issue 26

Huck Magazine's Issue 26 is out and within it's pages, you'll find an inspiration wall with Geoff McFetridge's wooden painted foot, a story on Adrian Rubi-Dentzel (Meier-Dentzel) and his Solitary Arts inspired Glass Slipper (with our Moonlights and Black Eggs). In addition, both the Piano Pinner and Big Red are featured in their double-page spread of quivers. Thanks to Rob!
