Sean Cliver to Release New Signed Prints This Saturday
Prude or Never Nude? If so, this print probably isn’t for you—and that’s okay. Not everything is for everybody. I mean, if it was, don’t you think that would make for a rather boring and bland world? Rhetorically questioning, of course, because it’s not like you can leave a comment in response or anything. But if you’re curious as to the inspiration behind this design, I guess you could say it all goes back to that bullshit line about how if you’re ever nervous about speaking in front of a crowd of people you should just picture them all in their underwear. Me, I get the shakes just going out in public period, so a trip for me to the “Happiest Place on Earth” is more akin to going waterboarding in Guantanamo Bay. How do I survive? Imagineer that everyone around me is parading about in their birthday suits (although, admittedly, I could have gone way more hog wild with the tattoos, what with this supposed to be representative of Orange County and all).
These limited edition, signed, and numbered prints are a steal at $80.

How 35th North Skate Shop Came to Be
Seeing all the other shops back then were focused on snowboards, Tony Croghan saw the opportunity to establish a shop dedicated to skateboards. He used earnings from a hotel job to start 35th North Skate Shop in Seattle.
After twenty years, 35th North has become a prominent part of the Seattle community, hosting events, art shows, premieres, and karaoke nights.
Pro skaters Matt Gottwig and Kristin Ebeling shared more stories about how the shop became an integral part of the local skate scene in this episode of “Established“.
