AFQ - Todd St.John
I met Todd a few years ago while I was living in NY. We did this project together with Alife, Arkitip and Etnies. After the project we stayed in touch and hung out every so often. At one point we started these Thursday night jam sessions in his house. I’ve always admired his work whether [...]
AFQ - Andy Jenkins
I met Andy Jenkins through submitting a drawing to his Diurnal Drawings back in 2001-2002. From that submission we would occasionally email back and forth and we both were posting links on the OG Arkitip IR news feed. If you follow skateboard art and it’s history you surely know who Andy is. You might [...]
AFQ - Maya Hayuk
I met Maya Hayuk in 2004. I emailed her about being in a show with me and a few others and when I finally go to meet her I was stoked on her whole vibe. She’s sarcastic with a touch of dark humor thrown in to keep the smiles going for hours. I’ve always been [...]

AFQ - Kirk Dianda
In this AFQ (”A Few Questions”) I link up with director/filmer Kirk Dianda. Kirk is well known for his filming contributions to skateboarding and was one of the main people behind the cult favorite On Video skateboard magazine that dove deeper into skateboarding as a culture and it’s young history. I have had the pleasure [...]
AFQ - Michael Leon
I was first introduced to Michael through SAS at Arkitip. We went to visit his studio which use to be in Atwater, Los Angeles (same block as Geoff McFetridge’s studio). He was there with his wife Laura. This studio was were they ran Stacks and also doubled as a painting studio for both of them. [...]
AFQ - Don Pendleton
Welcome to the first edition of AFQ (A few questions). These posts will be 5 questions posed to artists, designers and friends of mine. The questions will typically be about their design and their art and probably be random as well. For the first round I invited friend and artist Don Pendleton. Don and I [...]
