Deathwish has been on the road up the California coast, scouring the alleys of LA and all the places in between for new spots filming for their upcoming full length. If this teaser is any indication, Jon Dickson is going to have one hell of a part.
Doug Brown's work will be on display as part of the Best in Show Exhibition at The Gladstone Hotel in Toronto until March 31.
If you're not yet familiar with Doug Brown's work, maybe you are with his stencils that were at one point showing up all over snowbanks around Toronto during the last decade. It wasn't until just recently that Color Contributor Ben Pobjoy discovered Brown was the artist behind these perplexing pieces. Today, Brown continues to mix media and bold visuals in his art, some of which appears alongside Pobjoy's interview with Brown in our new issue 10.1.
Make sure to get down to the Gladstone before the end of the month to see even more examples in person. More details on Facebook.
To add to yesterday's visual stoke, Spitfire and Daewon come through with a full part to introduce his new F1 Streetburner wheel. If this is any indication as to what his next full part will be, holy shit are we in for another amazing one!

Gravis introduces the Quarters; a simple and classic shoe that will be available in their skate and lifestyle brands. Coming in multiple colors and a variety of materials it's a great shoe for the upcoming warm months. If the above video didn't fill your need for more Dylan, then check out the latest Acid Drops. Also check out our feature on Gravis/Analog main man Mark Oblow, from the 9.4 article.
Michael Christie is in the running for a CBC Bookie Award and needs your help with voting. Last year, the longtime Color contributor and once Senior Editor published his collection The Beggar's Garden (Harper Collins) which not only garnered some much-deserved national praise, but landed Mike on the Scotiabank Giller Longlist. This, of course, is no small feat as the Giller list is about as prestigious as it comes for Canadian writers.
Despite coming up a bit short on taking home the prize, Mike is back for another kick at the awards can with a nomination for the 2nd Annual CBC Bookie Awards. If you haven't yet read The Beggar's Garden, I sincerely urge you to pick up a copy—the haunting and candid picture of Vancouver's DTES and the people who inhabit it is will certainly strike a chord for any reader.
And even of you haven't read it yet, you should still go here to vote for Mike, because someday you will read it and love it and be kicking yourself that you didn't cast that vote when you had the chance!
Filming for the next Almost video is heating up and you know Daewon is going to have one hell of a part. With any luck, we'll get an San Pedro/Channel St. Project section showing of some of his ridicules tranny skills. You get a tease at some of them in this edit.
Ottawa, ON officially has a new shop in The Antique Store (9 Florence St.) With all the gnarly shit that's been coming out of Ottawa recently, it should come as no surprise that this new shop has all the ingredients for a badass hangout and will surely be a must-visit for skaters making the pilgrimage to our nation's capital.
Shit really got rolling out there, it seems, right after Terry Worona captured Sam Lind's insane drop-in, which went on to make the cover of Color 9.4. Following closely on the heels of this photo, another ripping lensman, Josh Hotz, sent us this great little series called "Typology" and then Aaron Cayer and Guillame Lebel unleashed While You Were on Facebook on the world. We loved watching these East Coasters ripping the streets so much we couldn't resist premiering WYWOF to the Vancouver masses at Lazy Tuesday. Color contributor Sean Lennon even put together a tasty little review in the new issue (10.1).
Check out this video from their grand opening party. These dudes know how to party and we're stoked to have our mags in their shop.
Krooked and Matix have teamed up for some special gear in honor of rider, Mike Anderson. Since going pro last year, Mike has been on a steady streak of coverage and skating his ass off, including being the last person to earn a pro shoe from eS' (in stores right now).
Adventures with Chris continues with part two of the Pave the Way art show that featured Craig Stecyk, Lance Dawes, Tobin Yelland and MoFo. In this episode Stecyk and Lance tell of the legends and unique individuals that are Steve Olson and Tony Alva. Art shows come and go but the history on display in this show was something truly special.
