ALENA.










Alena was created by Jeremy Bresnen back in 2003... it started as a skate shop in Montreal (down the street from where I grew up in N.D.G) and has since become a skate brand with beautifully designed decks and T's that are sold at fine skate shops around North America. Alena has always been art-centric... in the early days top-notch exhibits were held frequently at the store... today their t-shirt/deck's graphic designs are based on handcrafted masks made by Jeremy himself. Their T's are made from 100% certified organic cotton sourced from North Carolina, and the decks are made with high quality cold pressed 7 pl Canadian maple veneers, also made in the U.S.
Alena skate team = Tyler Maher, Mike Fyfe, Josh Clark, and Alex Fauteux.

David de Rothschild + the Plastiki.


David de Rothschild is constructing the Plastiki boat out of thousands of used plastic bottles (between 12,000-16,000)... he plans to sail from California to Australia, a journey of 11,000 miles. “The idea is to put no kind of pollution back into the atmosphere, or into our oceans for that matter, so everything on the boat will be composted. Everything will be recycled. Even the vessel is going to end up being recycled when we finish.” said David. Two wind turbines and an array of solar panels will supply the electricity onboard, the rest is wind power. The ultimate goal of the Plastiki voyage is to draw attention to waste as a renewable resource while encouraging people to embrace clean, renewable energy. David plans on sailing out of SF in April.

High Waters show at The Luggage Store Gallery. SF.





Jeff works as a sign painter at the New Bohemia Sign shop in SF... he uses the shop as his studio after hours to create his own fantastic work. I dig the vintage colors, Wood Type, the surf and Cali references... I heart Jeff Canham.
