Marc McKee and his artwork have been hosted at the bastard store during the days of Milan Design Week, too bad Marc packed everything up on tuesday and flew back to LA with his precious load of skateboards, sketches, drawings and stickers.

Thanks to Marc – who’s also the hand behind skateboardgraphics.com – to Blast! Distribution and to everyone who came by to behold the exhibition of a milestone in the history of skateboarding.

An interview with Marc aired on RAI5 inside the show Cool Tour on Wednesday, April 20^th, here the video. [It’s italian language only, needs Microsoft Silverlight !? and starts at 00:08:38 …sorry for this]

A few copies of the book are still available at the bastard store along with the few silkscreen prints left, which were issued in a limited series of 30 pieces.
The graphic, which you can see in the photo above, is the Jesus taken from the famous Gabriel Rodriguez pro model for 101.

“Do you know how big it is??”

Who knows Bauli has heard these words coming out from his mouth many times when he comes back from a huge spot as the one shown in the sequence above.
You’ll find the complete report in 6 issue of A Brief Glance, freshly published. As usual, lots of good pictures fill the pages of the online magazine that celebrates its first birthday.

Many more birthdays ABG!

Who wouldn’t want an awesome, fully furnished, apartment downtown?

Lago gives birth, in different cities in Italy, to homes furnished with their products. These apartments, that are inhabited and lived daily by regular people denominated “tenants”, as well as private homes, are used as showrooms in special occasions.

The Lago apartment in Milano, with the occasion of design week, asked us for a little bastard style…

Mattia Molnar has finally found the perfect way for filming his Bosco Gurin sessions.

Simple, handy, affordable and ecologic; the drone (the unidentified flying object close to Mattia) allows the same filming angles of an helicopter but without the noise, it’s incredibly small and it doesn’t need gasoline to fly. Basically you can produce breathtaking footage without bothering nobody.

Good job Mattia, always caring for nature and others.

I think that local Monte Bianco ski mountaineers were looking couriously to a guy wearing an hawaian shirt climbing through glaciers and rifts.
Despite his unsual outfit, Whatza won the best snowboard photo contest at the Click On The Mountain 2011, killing two birds with one stone as he was testing the next year snowear.

Many collaborators and friends have gathered again for the now classic photo shooting with photo master Giuliano Berarducci, who, as a ship captain from other times, guided us through the stormy weathers of the semestral shooting that gave birth to the spring summer 2011 bastard catalog.

Thank you, thank you and more thank yous to Enrico “ERREDBARON” Predeval, Mattia Turco, Nicola Giordano, René Olivo, beautiful Giulia “fastidio” Boselli and young Easy, who posed for the first bastard kid collection.

Exceptionals models were Koji and Luca from Milano City Ink, Giorgio from UBM, Nico & Andrea alias Pink is Punk and the Warriors.

Enjoy the images.
