On RepTv journalist Antonio Nasso walks through the origins of skateboarding in Italy with interviews with the main players.

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.

This evening Jep will be featured as a guest star at Extreme Playlist, the radio show by Fumaz and Marchino.
At 7 pm, live on Rock’n’Roll radio, he will be suggesting his own extreme playlist, will it hail to rock’n’roll?

Edo Paris, store manager at the bastard store, got the cover on 6:00 AM 57, August/September issue, with this big frontside heelflip on the infamous Quarto Oggiaro bumps.
Inside the mag his interview and the bastard ad campaign Our Friends Are Our Heroes that features him.

To top it off, in this same issue interview to Claudio Jep Bernardini (CEO at bastard) for celebrating his 40th birthday.
Bastard summer?

Tomorrow, October the 13th, Jep & me will try to tell the story of bastard and bastard store to the students of Design and Communication of the Politecnico di Milano. From 11.30, classroom CT30, building D, first floor, via Durando 10 and thanks to the invitation of friend and Professor Stefano Cardini.

[ ! UPDATE ] :
Below the feedback notes we collected from the students

Last night i witnessed an exeptional reunion of the old school scene: Billy Runaway came for a visit, he was a pro skater for Madrid in the 80s and a potojournalist for Thrasher in those years. The welcome team was so composed: Max Bonassi, Alex Colombi, Claudio “Jep” Bernardini and Andrea Paulicelli. These old folks hadn’t seen each other in 21 years, surprise! Alex had first met Billy in Milan back in ’85, and soon introduced him to Bonassi who was craving for a consulence for building a vert ramp in Monza.

To celebrate, we sat at the fish restaurant right next door and popped some corks… After a 3 hours food fest we went up to the bastard bowl, but we suffered from the digestion along with the wine effects and a few more years on our shoulders… Too old to skate? Maybe not, infact Jep and Bonassi did represent with their skating as much as they could, but maybe i’m “too old to take action photos everyday”, eheh! So i decided to only post their mugshots, and since i started skating in the 80s, those are the faces that inspired me to join the four wheels and a board world… All the best to Billy and his young company skate company, and I thank him for a little industry talk, that done with the right people is never boring! See you next time, hoping it doesn’t take another 21 years!

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.
