bastard blog

On Wednesday January 11^th we had a big party in our headquarters to present the new bastard,  Electric,  Jart,  DVS, Lakai,  Matix and Makia Fall Winter 2012-13 collections and a brand new DealerZine, that represents a big step forward compared to the previous ones! During the party we also inaugurated the new binocle working space… unfortunately we couldn’t document the opening due to a generalized state of dumbness, partially related to an overall abuse of a freaking awesome unfiltered wine ;)

It’s that time of the year again, when *** SALES *** pop up and this time at the bastard store we have them online too.

Tomorrow night the Gazebo Penguins will play at Magnolia in Milano.

I like them a lot and Piter – the guy on the right – is in the band too… he is the man behind most of the bastard’s web code, this blog included.

Their last record Legna is downloadable for free on their website. Check it out!

Not only Mattia Turco has got one the most explosive ollies ever seen around here, he also recently opened his new tumblelog which features a lot of interesting work. He throws an oil layer on the sheet, covers everything with black and pulls the drawing out by scraping the surface with a technique that reminds me the works i did in school as a kid.

Above and below, the one that would rather suffer than die.

P.s. Mattia is now on the roster of El Santo Skateboards.

Last night on the I soliti ignoti tv show, aired by the first italian channel RAI1 we saw Marco Lambertucci… check out the video!

We just published the new bastard snowboards catalog that you see above. Come get a printed copy directly at the bastard store.

Sex scandals, bunga bunga and gossip definitely bummed us out. On the other hand we really got hyped with the Ruby 152, Noemi 155 and Nicole 159 designed by Ricky Style. They’re quality examples of Italian craftsmanship!

Friend and architect Lorenzo Bini has a new firm called binocle and we’re looking forward to collaborate on a few very interesting projects…

The firm binocle is launching today an open contest for illustrating the mega chalk board that will camp in his latest project: Spazio 33, wine-bar cafeteria located inside a beautiful park in Oleggio (NO). If you are a writer, illustrator, cartoonist or you simply think you could do a good job send your illustrations as the project seriously deserves it!

P.S. Do they really want to create an innovative skateable path inside the park too?
