Art, Skateboarding & Life is an action packed story that is related in a series of awesome visuals. In his first monograph, Andy Howell's work on the deck and as an artist is presented within the context of an expansive network of artists, skaters and agitators all bent on having an impact. Chronologically arranged chapters are driven by an intense mixture of interviews, narrative text and non-stop full bleed visuals that trace Howell's journey through pro skateboarding, the action sports industry and allied segments of the DIY movements within art, music and design. Contributors include Tony Hawk, Shepard Fairey, Patricia Arquette, Dallas Austin, Ed Templeton, David Choe and Kenton Parker. The 2 DVDs feature interviews with artists and skaters, skate videos and music by Alyasha Owerka-Moore, Monkey Wrench, Mass Prophets, The Blowing Rock Triplets and so much more!!
