    My good friend Ian Lynam recently created a typeface family called Kirimomi for Onitsuka Tiger, based on the company’s history, and available as free downloads.

  • Latest Lesque Collection

    I’ve recently mentioned a few times the new skate brand OPEN, started by my friend Trevor Sias with designs by Ian Lynam — you can order the first two boards now, and here are a few more photos — but here’s a look at the latest deck collection from Japan skateboard brand Lesque, also designed…

    Here’s a look at an upcoming t-shirt for OPEN Skateboards, based on the Kiyoshi Awazu homage board. The tees will be very limited, and should go on sale on the site soon.
