Droog79 is a Bristol UK based surfer/skater/artist with some wicked surf and skate culture inspired illustrations, paintings, board art and the occasional photo. Amazing stuff, peep his collection of old school skates or some recent ‘board graphics. Dude is killin’ it, Hello Mollusk!

Zoo York Artist Series
I’m really diggin’ on Zoo York’s new artist series boards done by Mark and Matt Owens (Matt of VolumeOne fame). The art-direction is pure 70s NY mashup. Equal parts Massimo Vignelli, Milton Glaser, Paul Rand and Lance Weyman mixed with a slight case of Monty Python. Great designs! Having grown up in NY in the 70s-80s my childhood is filled with the kind of iconography that this is derived from. Athletics. has the lickable larger versions.
btw - nice Athletics site, right?! talk about clean and beautiful layout and typography. gorgeous stuff. i’m taking notes. Athletics is Matt and Mark Owen, Samia Saleem, James Ellis, Jason Gnewikow, David Ahuja and Wes Duvall. wow, very cool.
