Hmm… I would describe me as an artist who tries to inject human pathos into robots. Trying to breathe life into robots. That’s what I do. At least I try to. […]”

That’s what Eric Joyner thinks about himself. He is a californian artist, author and main character of “ROBOTS & DONUTS“, the last arrival at bastard’s Bookstore.

All the drawings inside this book portray improbable robotic scenarios: robots shooting laser beams against mega killer donuts, pirate robots, robots fighting on a ring, space candy but also romantic robots in bucolic contexts. An amazing visionary collection of pure surreal Pop Art…

The curious selection of more than 50 titles that you can find at the Bastard’s Bookstore, has nothing to do with  classic fiction, we decided to give room to  photography, design, graphics and illustration, music, street-art and obviously skateboarding.

P.S. I’m Ambra and I’m the newbie at bastard store. I work here with Edo paris and I answer to mailbox/gtalk store@bastard.it

This is the Jep’s birthday video, shot by Andreo Lopes during a bastard bowl session with Daniele Galli. This is our way to celebrate our president birthday.

In the Art area of freestyle.ch it has just been published an interview with Lukas Goller. Starting 2009 he put his contribution to the bastard snowboard project.

The itw is in german language but you can see a selection of his works (the one above is for Milano Centrale skateboards)… I can’t understand what is written but I can follow the only link written and I remember Lukas often talks about this: Trailer Park Boys.

Man, we make it safe! It was not easy at all, special for the Grill and the party, but the week end in Val Senales was great…

Saturday morning Supersession at the big Jump and Ignorant Session at the pool, check the gallery below. In the afternoon we grll and dink the all day at the skatepark. Nikolai Danov and Marco Lambertucci were skating and we were playing ignogolf!

The night was too cold for party outside, so we moved to the Leon’s pub and the party went crazy (as usual over there).

Thanks to Gentlemen Riders, Alex Fakieshop, all the riders, drinkers and party animals! It’s always good to spend a couple of days there, they are champions in “happiness”!

This saturday there is the Summer Splash in Cesena. From 10:00 in the morning untill 8:30 in the night.

Douring the day some best tricks contests, material prize for the not-sponsored skaters and cash for the pros (2000 €).

Material is coming from Vans, bastard, DUmb, Baker, Plan B, Fvtvra, Strange e Consolidated.

Night party at Bagno Universale 80 in Cesenatico ponente: aperitivo and Reggae music with Nameless Sound,  and dj set Dancehall and Jamaican Vibes.

We proudly announce the first Val Senales edition of the infamous bastard Grill’Em All.

Saturday, July 26th we’ll be waiting for you with a nice bbq, beer (obviously Forst), music and friends. Along with some skateboarding and snowboarding (for those who can!). Together with the ever present Alex FakieShop and the gentlemenriders , we’ll have the whole Lazy Riders squad: Lukas Goller, Whatza and Mattia Molnar are gonna show some actiion at the snowpark saturday morning, while Nikolai Danov, Marco Lambertucci and Daniele Galli will be testing the skatepark.

P.s. There’s a tempting Weekend offer at the Zirm Hotel, all you can drink until 10pm!

We all know Daniele Galli, skateboarding is his life and this is the result of what he’s gotten in the last year. Differently from his Hello, People! video part, when his footage used to be taken by random friends or his brother, this part is filmed by experienced filmers the likes of: Julien Castel, Diego Garcia, Fabio Liguori, Sergio Minnici, Federico Romanello, Andrea Zolin, Alejandro Marco, David Cahall, Yari Copt e Giovanni Rossi. And video editor Fabio Liguori put together the whole thing.

Locations besides of course Italy, are Brasil, USA, Switzerland and Greece.

Technicalities aside, Daniele put his soul in this project, a year of hard work and some serious world travelling. So that he could best describe to his audience what his skating is about.

Only street skating this time, some good bangers and some noteworthy build and trick, like the last pole jam.

We take pride in pubblishing this picture shot by Notawonderboy!

The man in the middle of the picture, wearing the black leather jacket, is indeed also sporting an old bastard t-shirt. He is P. Paul Fenech, guitar and vocal of The Meteors, British psychobilly band!

Visit deezer if you want to listen the sound of The Meteors.
Visit notawonderboy for more pics about the concert.

Obviously, a box of Billy tees is on the way for them!
