The Art of Skateboarding & Spending the Holidays with Friends

Skateboarding and skate photography are art.  On December 15th I had the opportunity to attend the J Grant Brittain “Archive” photography show at UNIV.

The show featured many of Grant’s iconic skate images from the 1980’s.  Plus there was music by Chris Cote and a collection for skateboard donations to benefit Rollin’ From The Heart.

I attended with my dad Steve.  He was my date and photographer.

My fav of the bunch – Steve

The show was presented by @slvdr_brandstreet wear born in California & influenced by the world with support from @rollinfromthehearta SD non-profit striving to improve the lives of underprivileged youth through skateboarding, surfing & outdoor activities, @chromedigitalprofessional photo & art printing, @culturebrewingcobrewing & tasting in Solana Beach & Ocean Beach, and @transworldskate

To see more of Grant’s art – check him out on IG, his Etsy Store or his website.  There really is so much more to see.

You can shop 365 days a year, but there’s only so many days you can celebrate the holidays with friends.  So keep it stylish on & off the board by spending time with your friends & let them know you’re grateful for them – yes even if they don’t get you a gift.
