It’s long overdue, but my other side project, Tails Of…<\/a>, just released our sixth book (it’s #5, since we started with #0), Tails Of… Photographers. Legendary photographer Dave Swift<\/a> leads this issue. Tails Of is a print magazine about art and skateboarding. Each issue has a theme, and we build the content around that concept. It’s taken a lot to bring this to life, and I’m really proud of how it came out. If you care about art, photography, or skateboarding, you should check it out. If you are into all three, then get over there now and subscribe<\/a> before this issue is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
