Inaugurated on the main bastard bowl wall last Friday on the occasion of the 20 years of bastard, the Last Supper (Ultima Cena) by Marc McKee can be viewed every day for all the visitors starting Thursday, November 13: at the opening of of our full space for the traditional winter Family Sale upstairs at the bastard store. Leonardo Da Vinci would be proud but we locals are truly honored!

The Last Supper is a collaborative effort between bastard, Marc McKee and Cliché Skateboards. The size of the print is 7.5 x 2.10 meters, depicting the most famous characters of Marc, those that marked a whole generation of skaters (including us) and that contributied to form a completely new approach to the contents of graphic communication in the early 90’s.

Here you can find the bastard snowboards built in Italy, the t-shirt and sweatshirt with the famous Jesus (Gabriel Rodriguez), the Cliché skateboards, the rare book WARNING: The Art of Marc McKee and 16 colors silkscreen art print on heavy paper in ultra-limited series of 40 pieces (half of which are reserved for pro skaters depicted in the graphic) coming from California this week …

FRIDAY 7 NOVEMBER bastard turns 20 years old and to celebrate we launch a party from 9PM at bastard store in via Scipio Slataper 19, Milano.

This is the deejays’ lineup:

Experi-Mental / Gruff / Jopparelli / Aladyn / Katzuma 

Starting from 6PM we host The Marc McKee Last Supper with the Cliché Skateboards team, the flash tattoos (specially hand drawn by McKee himself!) with the Tattoo Agio crew, the photo exhibition and zine launch of Shine My Nine, live silkscreening by Print Fast Dry Young and, of course, the bastard bowl skate session with all of our friends that will stop by.

! NOTE: ENTRANCE FROM 9PM IS BY INVITATION ONLY and maybe you already got it. If not, there is still a chance to get one of the last seats now by registering to our Newsletter at this link and get a confirmation by tomorrow at 4PM.

We just finished uploading the bastard’s 35^th collection on the online store, with which we celebrate our first 20 years in business!

And once they grow up, they will take revenge by making their own clothes.

By making these products we had fun with Tato Chiala, Marc McKee and Cliché Skateboards, Muckefuck Skateboards, 2501, Whidaw DIY, Motoki Yoshio, students of design schools in Milan, bastard bowl riders (who regularly test our stuff) and all of our friends, who swung by the bastard store with plenty of ideas to be shared and turned into products.
