Giorgio Zattoni: welcome to JIMMY’Z

by jep 21 December 2012

As we just started at COMVERT a collaboration in Italy with JIMMY’Z, we thought that an italian skater would be necessary to represent at best.

Welcome to the family Giorgio!

p.s. the action was recently certified by Hosoi and Cab!
Thanks to HARDCHEESE  for the video editing and Marco Golfieri for the filming. To know more about JIMMY’Z in Italy write to jimmyz@comvert.com

A tribute to Magnus

by davidelp 20 December 2012

Magnus, aka Roberto Raviola, is one of the most eclectic authors in the italian and european comicbook scene. His works reached the most diverse genres, from fantasy to erotic. Starting off with an essential style he later on evolved by researching the finest details. We had the opportunity to have a good chat with his son Riccardo.

He set an example in treating “uncomfortable” themes. He treated subjects such as politics, war, hate, violence, drugs, pornography, horror, but he never stopped in front of these subjects, always coming out clean.

Three works that I would suggest to a new Magnus fan? Lo Sconosciuto, Le 110 Pillole, Tex.

Together with his son Riccardo we dug in this great artist’s archives and we decided to dedicate a capsule collection as a tribute to one of his masterpieces: Vendetta Macumba. Sweatshirt, t-shirt and snowboard, all in black and white.

Deep in snow…

by vecho 10 December 2012

Only if you’ve been deep in the snow up to the neck you can really understand the necessary features for good outerwear. That’s the reason why who designs the bastard outerwear line has to be a snowboarder first, like our friend/designer/snowboarder Lukas Goller. We believe that one can design a good product only if he’s able to test it himself. And we’ve been thinking so since nineteenninetyfour#.

Snow has come, get yourself in the snow up to the neck too with the jackets and pants from the new bastard snowear collection that will keep you dry and warm.

Skate Legends @ bastard store

by giuli 20 November 2012

Christian Hosoi, Tony Alva, Steve Caballero and Giorgio Zattoni. It’s not the X-Games legends roaster: these are simply the riders that participated to the most unbelievable session ever at the bastard bowl.

Hosoi, who’s always been the king of style , shows us he’s still in an incredible shape. He’s almost too good to be true. He rides as if time has frozen. Pure legend.

Lukas Goller’s winter clothes

by davidelp 31 October 2012

Today Lukas Goller shows us his wish list from the bastard Fall Winter 2012-13 collection.

Lukas is our outerwear designer and tester, so he has already tested (and abused) all the bastard snowear products during last winter sessions, for this reason he selected only street clothes.

p.s.
Do you wanna see Lukas in action around the alps? Than you should go to Modena Skipass for the premiere of the video Random EVERYBODY IS IN, friday night at 8pm.

Zamoc, the jester

by davidelp 16 October 2012

Luca Zamoc was born in the mid eighties and learned the first drawing notions from comic books, the bible and anatomy books. He later on moves to Milano to take an art direction and graphic design course at Nuova Accademia dell’Arte art academy. He draws on any media, from walls to paper to digital illustrations. He recently left again left his gray hometown, the city of Modena, moving subsequently to Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, London, Venice and now Istanbul.

May he have changed since we last saw him? Judging from the clothes he designed for the bastard collection, he is still his same old self, but like a good wine, his art just gets better with age.

Death is the only big theme in my work.

I’m not good at describing life, i don’t know how to use colors, i can’t draw people (women in particular) and i can’t tell anything pleasant. If you visit my tumblr it’s all guts, monsters and assassins.

Here is the exclusive Interview with the Death.
