Skate + Create: D.I.Y. America
With comments from artists and creators, the idea of skate & create illustrates the approach to individuality with regards to the development of skateboarding and its artists. I hope this powerful series from Wieden+Kennedy Entertainment inspires all of us apart of skateboarding, wakeskating, and surfing to become more creative with our riding, photography, production, and art…
Skate and Create explores the strange hybrid of skateboarding and creativity. In part one of our first episode we explore the fundamental basics of this connection, speaking to skate/music/film icons such as Tony Hawk, Thurston Moore, Jason Lee, Shepard Fairey and others. The second half gets into the subject of “outsiderness” and how both skateboarders and
artists find a surrogate family based on their mutual alienation.
