The Tony Larson ones almost make me want to learn to skateboard.

I'm not into the Wavedog stuff (I'm fine with the toys, I just don't like the latching onto skateboards as "urban art" crap), but beyond that, most of my favorite artists are related to skateboarding... Sean Cliver, The Gonz, Templeton, Lucero, Natas, V.C. Johnson, Pushead, etc.

Then again, I've been skateboarding for over two thirds of my life, so I grew up memorizing every detail from the artists above (among others).

Disposable (in the link) is a great book, too.

I'm a fan of the Hook-Ups line myself.

For reasons that should be obvious.

grimcity, I long for the days when studying/tracing Pushead drawings would result in my hands and forearms being covered with Thrasher magazine's printing ink.

Good memories.

The link to Disposable by Sean Cliver has a nice preview of some of the book's galleries, including the seminal work of one Neil Blender.

It just happens to be a coincidence that the posts, graphics, text and vias in the linked blog are all identical to the blog Me_Korak has listed in his profile; as well as sharing the page title of "Culture, technology, entertainment and some flowers", although it is only visible in the source? Amazing.
