Please listen I have something to tell you about what is
Chris Johanson / Jo Jackson Skateboard Deck
Edition of 75, all signed and numbered, $300
“Chris Johanson is an artist dedicated to exploring the quandary that is the modern human condition, traversing the age of consumerism, and other perilous psychological phenomena such as self-help, psychotherapy, and cult spirituality. A veteran of the Northern California punk/skate scene, Johanson has been creating visual images since he was a teenager.”

How we roll
“Rolling through history and contemporary action, this exhibit offers insight into the engagement and cultural influence of African Americans in the sports of surfing, roller skating and skateboarding.”
David van Alphen
Collages by David Netherland. Inofficially titled “Tony Hawk has never been riding for Sims skateboards, but I am an artist”. Available from his website or from Parlor Gallery.
“Artist/ gallery curator David “Netherland” van Alphen lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. Though David’s family was from Holland, he was born in Toronto, and has been in Chicago for the last eight years. Being a child of the 70’s has influenced him greatly and is reflected in most of his work. Juxtaposing images, his color choices and the new modern context comes through his nostalgic imagery and helps to isolate and enhance them into a beautiful montage. David does not resize, photocopy or scan any of the images he uses. All images are cut directly from their original source and and pieced together to keep each piece unique. David has shown at many galleries throughout the U.S. and sold out his first solo show in January 2008.”
