The great thing about doing Seshn, is we can do whatever the hell we feel like. That’s why we decided that the site needed a little more humor added to it. Humor is a good thing and it def gets me through each work day. This section was inspired by a little chubby kid by the name of Brian Peete. Check it out below and let us know if you want us to keep this feature or kill it off.

On Saturday I was lucky enough to see a large amount of the skate industry come together in support of a fallen shredder. Levi Huffman suffered a severe head injury on International Go Skate Day, he was in the ICU for weeks. The reason that so many people came together for Levi is his amazing character. I have a huge amount of respect or Levi, he is the kind of person who will go out of his way to help anyone he can.Like how he takes a group of little skate groms to a different skatepark that they wouldn’t normally have access to each week. Every time I skate with Levi he goes out and teaches someone something new or give them the confidence in themselves to do more than they thought the could. Levi and his fiancée are expecting their first child later this year, he will be an amazing father.On the 12th Board Cartel put together a skate contest along with Woodward to raise money for Levi and his family. The people at Cartel got everyone they could involved and before we knew it there were over 20 sponsors sending product to help Levi.  Product from Circa, Fallen, Mystery, Zero, Black Box, Anon, Nixon, Oakley, Element, RVCA, Bern helmets, Neff, Etnies, and boardpusher.com. 
The local shops, Thirfty Stick, 303 Boards, and Board Room also pitched in and each gave out package of gear for the event.

So our pal Cyle Cadam ,a.k.a Creepy Cyle, over at Electric visual was nice enough to send us some of the newest and hottest shades to be released. Electric has always been known for being rider and skater influenced. With Team memebers like Bam Margera, Chris Bradshaw, Lucas Magoon, Pierre Luc-Gagnon, Jamie Anderson; Electric is surely going to be a heavy hitter with style and orginality.Now I know you all have seen the Frogskins from Oakley, but have you seen the new flare of the Detroit. With Retro inspired styling for a post modern world these will hit the clubs with the fresh and funk you have been looking for. The Detroit rocks vintage lines with a 21st century vibe, and enough style to make Johnny Cash jealous.The Hoodlum’s personally are my favorite. Once again Electric has mastered the clean vintage lines that make this an easy choice to rock for any grand entrance. The Hoodlum’s are very lightweight and 70’s inspired which make them perfect for summer parties. Be sure to notice the Rasta flare for extra added style.Now everyone needs a pair of aviators to set it off. Wether you are wearing a desginer suit or just flossing the streets; the Airheart will give you the swagger to make you clean and crisp.  With distinctive lines and a wire framed lense the Airheart well let you try something new beside the oversized look of today.All these shades plus goggles and more can be viewed at www.electricvisual.com . Also be sure to add them on Myspace http://www.myspace.com/electricvisual  and tell them KDeezy at Seshn sent you. Thanks again Cadam and all the crew at Electric.

The new copy of Skatebook is here and you need one. The cover is slangin’ Bart Simpson and the “leap of faith” drop artwork, which is an awesome concept for a cover. Volume III features photography from Lance Mountain, Tobin Yelland, Shigeo and many more. Since it’s inception, Skatebook has been dominating and local shops have been selling out of these things quick.
For $19.95, you can get a copy here.

Annie Higgie is a very original artist from Australia we just found out about. The Sydney based illustrator has a very unique style to her artwork. The shattered, distorted geometric images of people almost have a Volcom-type feel to them. I can totally picture a Volcom logo in a lot of these images. Nice work Anna, very awesome!
Check out a ton of Anna’s images after the jump!

Quiksilver held an 80’s contest this past weekend and our man Jordan Hoffart, was all over it. Jordan was slangin’ some of the shortest shorts on the block that day and was also pumping out bangers all over the course.

The fine people over at Tom’s just sent us some chick shoes for us to check out, and the Seshn girlies are loving them! From what they are telling us, they are about the most comfortable pairs of shoes they have ever worn — and we are not just saying that. The girls say they really are!
Tom’s shoes are so ridiculously simple, it’s no wonder they are so cozy. They feature a lightweight canvas upper and a soft leather insole that hug the contour of your foot. But the best part about Tom’s is that they give away a pair of shoes for every pair that’s purchased, to starving kids all around the world.
Make sure you check their website out at TOMSshoes.com
We had our in-house photog, Courtney Winnie snap these beautiful shots below of some of the shoes Tom’s sent us:

The crew over at cypher13 design studio we’re recently invited to participate in one helluva art show on behalf of Mr. Barack Obama.  We got stoked and we’re workin’ 0n some fresh shit involving a good bit of laser-play.   Awesome.  More pics and details over JoyEngine…

Lotus Entertainment threw an amazing party in Burlington VT this weekend. It was the Lipstick Lounge with a 1920s theme. People showed up in all kinds of crazy outfits including neon Flapper outfits and old school pilot uniforms. The party started on a cruise ship and the after party took place a Red Square. It was an interesting night to say the least. All photos by me… LAustin Design.

Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. are bringing art and music together for one sick collaboration. Recently both Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. were involved in a cover project for Complex Magazine that featured artwork from REAS and KAWS. Complex thought it would be cool to give you a behind-the-scenes look at how it all went down by releasing a couple videos that feature the making of the covers. Pretty interesting stuff.Check out more about this on Hypebeast

Eesa, our fave luxe liner clothing line, is recognizing all the un-recognized artists out there and holding a contest in our honor.  They are asking for original artwork of any style, classic, conceptual, street, doodles, graphic… whatever floats your boat.  The entries will be posted up on the Eesa website for all the fans to pick their fave. If you win over the general public’s vote, then your design will be printed up on their signature 100% bamboo tees (yay for bamboo) and sent out to be sold all over the world.  Not only that, but they’ll let you design the hangtag so you can support your cause, your website, your vision etc. AND you’ll get a percentage of the sales!  Money = never a bad thing.If you think you have some creative juices flowing, send an email to  enabler at eesaclothing.com with the subject Artist Enabler Series and they will send you the whole packet with details. 

London’s Stolenspace Gallery which opens today, is kicking things off with a group show called “Under a Red Sky”. The show features works from awesome artists including Shepard Fairey, Andrew McAttee, Vitche, Jana, Vhils, and Word to Mother.This is sure to be a great show. Click here for more photos.

Obsessed with space and design and the mysteries of both, Jozias Dawson hunts for Bigfoot and loves simple Swedish food. With nine years design exploration and deep conversations with the summonings of his Ouija Board (that he never actually got to work) he has managed to define a unique style and enjoys keeping his work as unique as his obsessions.
Jozias has done all kinds of work for huge name companies from Mountain Dew to Nike. There is no wonder why the come knocking on his door when they are in need for something original and inspiring. Dawson’s art is quickly becoming unmistakable and we are stoked to have him apart of the homepage for Seshn.

While most recognized artists & designers are conventionally bred in the artistic incubation of trendy hotspots on the left and right coasts of the United States, it was in the foyers of an archetypal school in a small town that unconventional artist Kelly D. Williams cut his creative teeth. Taking an unapologetic and raw style from his background of skateboarding and unrefined music, Kelly manages to mess and impress using otherwise incompatible mediums.
Kelly is the definition of a multi-tasker. From designing art for Analog Clothing to forming all kinds of companies from Snowboards, to design firms, Kelly is all over the place and is one of the hardest working people I know, even though I have not known him for very long.
Since day one, Kelly has been backing Seshn. We are pleased to unveil the first ‘canvas cover art’, and couldn’t be any more stoked than to have Kelly be displaying his work for us proudly here on the homepage.

If you are out in the LA area, def check out the August 1st event from http://sneakerpimps.net.  They have Public Enemy, Ghostface Killah, Kids in the Hall and various DJ’s performing on the stage… but what the real show is in my opinion are the live art installation shows that will be going on throughout the concert.
Art will be created live by one of my faves, Tokidoki (tokidoki.it), Peekaboo!monster  peekaboomonster.com), Peabe  pea-be.com) and others.  If you haven’t checked out these guys art before, go take a peek.  All 3 are known for their stylized characters, tokidoki has branched into many arenas, including some sick skate decks; Peekaboo! is starting to do the same; and Peabe is just busy creating some way out there sketches.  Click to see more for some art previews from these three guys.

I came across this today and just had to post it. It seems that surf great, Kelly Slater and artist, Emil Kozak have collabo’d to bring you two very cute surfboards, that could make you look very ‘festive’ in the water. Now it’s obvious that surfboards are on the brink of a huge shift in design and style, and you will see more and more boards popping up next year that emulate skateboards. We just posted a blog about Super Surfboards and what they are doing, and it’s great but if art on surfboards is going to be looking this cutesy, they are going to have to send me some matching wrapping paper to go with it. I am really hoping we don’t see Kelly using these in the water.

Benjamin Verdonck  is a weird, humorous, creative genious. We love him. His latest project is causing a stir and from the footy, you can see why. 

Seshn: Where you posted at?
CB: Twin Peaks, CA…Big Bear
Seshn: Who are your sponsors?
CB: Technine, Electric Visual, Neff, Vans, Big Bear, Ambigious
Seshn: What do you want to take from snowboarding?
CB: RESPECT!!!!!!!!!
Seshn: Why is Dingo so popular?
CB: WHO?????…oh you mean that guy from Australia?!?!?!
Seshn: What is your whip game like?
CB: You know I roll stunna style. Got that 2000 beater Subaru on some all black stock 15″ rims. Then I got a cracked windshield so the PoPo dont spot me. Also got me two 15’s running off 500 watts. Str8 Ghetto Fab
Seshn: What riders should we look out for?
CB: There are too many to name. Much respect to Goon Squad, Nico Cioffi, and Midget Mafia..Repersent!
Seshn: What is your favorite thing about snowboarding?
CB: They way it feels. It’s a good escape from the bull shit.
Seshn: Some say your style is one of the best in the game. What influences your style of riding?
CB: I do it how I can do it. I just keep it all about me and what feels right.
Seshn: What is one thing you want to change about snowboarding?
CB: Bitch ass faggots. There are way too many people that talk way too much. People need to get out of my business unless your on some grown man business. I am about to ride down the hill naked covered in blood to scare people and give them something to talk about.
Seshn: What is like filming “Bozwreck 2″?
CB: Shit is raw. Snowboarding ain’t ready for what Nate[Bozung] and Matty[Ryan] are about to release and I think it’s funny. But on the real some of the best uncut and uncensored snowboarding is going down in Bozwreck.
Seshn: So how is your part in “Familia”…the Finga on Da Trigga flick.
CB: I work hard when Cole[Taylor] ain’t choking me and [Lucas]Magoon out. I am pumped to see what this years flick is going to look like. We got some heavy hitters holding down the block.

Seshn: Do you want your daughter to pursue snowboarding?
CB: My daughter has been shredding since she came out the gut. If she wants to pursue it I got her back for life.. she is my little soldier. But my advise to her is keep away from the money hungry sharks in the indusrty. A lot of big heads are just trying to use people for their wealth and care less about us getting broke off. Sometimes I want to beat these busters down , but I don’t want to catch a case over some waldo getting stuck.
Seshn: What advice can you give to kids that want to pro shreds?
CB: Keep shredding and fuck the agents trying to swoop you up. Tell them to get raped…fucking molester’s.  Also listen to your parents and stay away from strangers.
Seshn: Shout Outz !
CB: To all my fucking homies..you know who you are! C-Town, V.O.E, my sponsors (unless the check is late…hahaha just playin), and all the Cat’s out there repping the lifestyle…..S.T.D. (shred till death)

Check out this early street art footy from KAWS. If you are a street artist and you think you are forging new trails and doing new things, think again. KAWS was doing that back in 1997. Respect your elders.

A while back I came across a video by BLU, featuring all sorts of creatures climbing over the interior walls of a building. It was amazing. MUTO, Blu’s latest project, in which creatures terrorize large scale walls leaves me without words. Blu describes the project as “an ambiguous animation painted on public walls.” The amount of time & energy and the shear magnitude of this project is mind-boggling! I’m SPEECHLESS!

Seshn: How long did you live in Norway?
T.R: Well I was born in New York, but all my roots are from Norway. I lived there from the age of 8-18. I came to America to skate more and make something of the sport. It’s nice being an Amercian citizen, I can stay here forever and skate some of the best spots.
Seshn: So where do you live now?
T.R: Mt. Olympus, CA …..Hollywood Hills Baby!
Seshn: Who are sponsors?
T.R: Oakley, Grenade, Etnies, Girl Skateboards, and BME Click
Seshn: What video projects are you working on now?
T.R: Well I am always filming with [Ryan]Sheckler and Oakley. I actually have a commercial on the Oakley website right now.Beside that I am filming for SoleTec Europe and the Grenade Video ” The Boned Age”
Seshn: Wait a minute isn’t Grenade snowboarding?
T.R.: Yah it is, but Danny[Kass] has so much skate influenced style that he wants to branch out Grenade. I don’t know much about the project he blew up snowboarding so I have not doubt that he can blow up skateboarding.

Seshn: What are your favorite skate spots?
T.R: My 3 car garage in Norway…I had an ill mini skate park, Barcelona, and L.A
Seshn: What are your favorite cities to visit?
T.R: New York, L.A, and Barcelona…all to skate! The party scene is good too!
Seshn: So how is BME click for a sponsor?
T.R: It sure is a trip. We just did a photo shoot with the whole click for the new clothing line that is about to drop. We do have a lot of fun and kicking it with Lil Jon is wild for sure. We party like rockstars, and live it up big. Really though it’s pretty cool. I think the best time we had was at the Winter X Games.
Seshn: Who are your favorite people to skate with?
T.R: Wow there are too many to mention. But Danny Kass is one the best. Also my friends in Norway and my brother Thor.
Seshn: What are you going to do when you become rich?
T.R: I would have to build an indoor skate park for all my friends to hang out and have fun.

Seshn: Who is your favorite skater?
T.R: Wow I get asked this question a lot. If I had to pick it would be Mark Johnson….he is just unreal!
Seshn: What is in your IPOD now?
T.R: Right now its a little Biggie and Rick Ross. I like to listen to everything from 80’s to Hip Hop. My skate style is influenced by music as well. So whatever gets me pumped and moving is what I like to listen too!
Seshn:  How many dates have you had this month?

Papa Ghede comes from Haitian folklore. Guédé is a family of spirits
that represent death and fertility. Papa Ghede is one of those many
spirits. He is described as the corpse of the first man to ever die.
Short and dark in stature holding a apple in his left hand smoking a
cigar and wearing a high hat. Some also say he is dressed all in
black similar to an undertaker with a face like a skull. He has the
knowledge of the life and afterlife of all who have died. Papa Ghede
waits at the crossroads to escort fresh souls into the afterlife
(Guinee). Papa Ghede has a wife named Maman Brigitte and a brother
Ghede Bábáco. In the voodoo religion people pray to Papa Ghede if
there child is sick or dying. It is said that he will not take a life
before it’s time.
