imageFrom the globe trotting Australian best known for his outstanding skateboarding photos, a collection that expands on those achievements with images from around the world on the cusp of the 21st Century. Everything is covered in this 34 page treat. Burning cars, cryptic signage, crucifixes and discarded TVs in America's heartland, to elephants in Africa, Asian policemen, cane toads and Cairo Foster grinding a rail in front of the Cairo Supreme Court building. O'Meally's ever curious and attentive eye produces a picture poem of the new age's action, beauty, terror and the quiet moments in between.

image The first time I talked to Mike O'Meally I was trying to give him directions to my apartment while Madmin was on the toilet. He was very polite even though he was quite lost and it was mostly Madmin's fault for giving him shitty directions. Then he came over and I cooked him some good food to make up for it and all was well. He looked really big standing next to our tiny kitten.

image Have you ever met one of those people that do really amazing things and just kinda shrug it off like it ain't no thing? Mike Sutfin is one of these total dillholes. I've been lucky enough to get to know Mike and his dillhole ways for a while now, I have no idea how it is humanly possible to create some of the crazy artwork this dude does. You may recognize his work from various punk and hardcore record covers -- Magic: The Gathering cards, D&D products, not to forget Star Wars: New Essential Guide to Characters book for Lucasfilm. Enough to make any fanboy collector loose bowel control.

image Jocko Weyland is a writer, an artist, a skateboarder, an observer, and even an anthropologist of sorts. His documents are experiences in raw form and he is very aware of how a product can create a myth or mislead an audience. Honesty in this day and age seems more akin to an 8-track tape than a responsibility, but Jocko thinks about what he is doing and keeps it simple and true. Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World is a two-person exhibition featuring photographs by Jocko Weyland and prints by Thurston Moore is now on view at KS Gallery in Manhattan.

imagePremiere skate (and more) photographer, Mike O'Meally, now has one of the best and most comprehensive photography sites on the web, if I do say so myself. Not to mention one of the most cutting edge websites out there, period. The site covers far more than just his skate photography, featuring some amazing portraits, enviable travel photos and an editorial section.
