Charlotte’s Black Sheep Skate Shop has teamed up with Alien Workshop for a limited edition deck that will be released on Friday, December 2nd, 2011. The original artwork was created by Alien Workshop co-founder Mike Hill. To celebrate this release, Black Sheep has teamed up with CharlotteSkate for a photo retrospective of the skateboarding scene in Charlotte featuring over 20 years of local skateboard history from photographers, including Brian Tucker, Richie McCorkle, Jason Waters, and Mark Hansen.
I love how most of Steven Dixey’s paintings come paired with a uniquely-sourced, customized frame. This attention to detail sets his work apart from the others. On this particular piece, the frame originally housed a mirror in his grandmother’s house somewhere in South America. You can see Ouroboros in person along with the rest of Dixey’s new collection now at Beep Beep Gallery. The Dixey/Relkin show is up from now until November 26th.
It’s no secret that one of my favorite artists from Atlanta is Steven Dixey, so it brings me great pleasure to announce that he’ll be featured in an upcoming show at Beep Beep Gallery with Matt Relkin. Be sure to check out both of these artist websites and show your support at the opening on November 5th. I’ll be there!
PBR asked us to submit entries for their 2011 PBR Art & Design Shirt-Off contest and we’re asking you to vote! CrowdTogether, the website that’s hosting the contest currently has our entries, but the images are very small and don’t do our graphics justice, so we’ve decided to post them here in full detail.
The submission deadline keeps getting mysteriously pushed back… So much for hitting a deadline! I had my entry ready weeks ago and was waiting until the last minute so as to NOT show my cards. But you can now see what I did and 1-up me if you like. Sigh… I guess it’s really not that serious.
The good news is: if you’d like to submit your own entry, you still have time.
Have you ever had a good idea for a t-shirt and couldn’t get anyone to produce it for you? Well, here’s your chance to get your ideas in front of a bunch of people and get paid for doing so. Pabst is looking for fan created original art for a PBR t-shirt. Here’s how it will work, download the t-shirt template, add your design, upload it, then go out and get VOTES! The winner will be chosen from the top 5 designs with the most votes at the Graveyard Tavern on 09.26.11. For more details and official contest rules, click here.
Only catch is that everything has to be wrapped-up and submitted by September 5th, so act now. We’ll probably submit a few graphics. Just gotta dig through the ole’ bag of tricks to see what’s poppin’ off! You don’t have a bag of tricks? What’s wrong with you? Ideas for days folks… ideas for days…
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since we participated in the 1st Let The Good Times Roll skateboard art show in Charlotte. Our buds at Black Sheep Skate Shop invited us to participate in LTGTR2 and we decided to carry over a treatment that we recently applied to the “Process Room” at The Basement. What do you guys think?

Purge ATL is a new online publication that actively publishes relevant content on Atlanta creative culture. Although it’s not a print publication, Purge is more in-touch with what’s really going than other Atlanta-centric news sources.
Anyway, the Purge team is hosting an art show opening tonight at Picaflor studio. I’ve personally met 4 of the 6 people in this art show, and they fully receive my support. One person in particular, Ryan James, has been a close friend of mine since 2000. We were skateboarding buddies, roommates, band mates, and we’ve been involved in more hi-jinx than you could imagine over the past 10 years. It’s his 1st art show ever and I’m urging everyone to come out.
This Saturday, our good friend, Mike Germon and his cohort, Truett Dietz, will be hosting an art opening for collage work on which they’ve recently collaborated. The show will be hanging on the walls at Beep Beep Gallery from Saturday, September 11th until Sunday, October 3rd. This will be a great opportunity to score some local art at an affordable price.
We recently customized a pair of Vans Chukkas for an art show that took place this past week in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The show, called The 1 of 1 project, was put together by former 3Sixteen associate (and fantasy football disaster), Chris Watchorn.
The 1 of 1 Project had two goals in mind. The first was to bring together artists who work in a range of mediums and industries including graphic design, fashion design and illustration. It was an opportunity to bring together some of Winnipeg’s up and coming artists with a blend of established North American talents. The 30 partaking artists span North America including New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Orlando, Portland and Atlanta.
The second goal was to use the donated talents to create unique art pieces that could be auctioned to raise funds for local charity. All proceeds from the event will go towards The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Winnipeg.
We kept our inspiration bold and simple, along the lines of our Tribe Logo tee featured here. Check out more pics after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
These tees came out really nice! Sorry about the cruddy Blackberry photo. You gotta see this in person! Come out for Cinco de Mayo at Graveyard Tavern and pick up yours before we run out!
