Interviews

In a new twist to Artists of Theory, Isaac sat down with Eric Swisher of Chrome Ball to interview the interviewer. Part interview and part conversation between two friends, we get to see a different side of the legendary wordsmith.

The "Artists of Theory" feature is an idea created by contributing TOA writer, Isaac Mckay Randozzi. The series dives in with creatives in the skateboarding world who are doing their own thing, taking a hands-on approach and carving out their own interesting path. Today's episode is with amazing photographer Pep Kim, co-creator of Chrystie NYC.

It's been a long time since we brought you a new episode of "Inside the Skater's Studio‚". But lucky for you it's a banger. The Spirit Quest video was one of the best of the last decade and we've got the maker of the video along with the skater with one of the best parts. So click ahead and enjoy…

The "Artists of Theory‚" series is back, and this week we're meeting the amazing Kramer doppelganger out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, John McGuire. John is not only the face behind the insane Seinfeld spoof "Giddy Up‚" for Friendship Skateboards, but he's also been behind the artwork featured on boards from Toy Machine, to Friendship and now even Theories…..let's get to know this maniac right now!

We're treating you to a little throwback today, way back to the year 2010 and the very first "Inside the Skater's Studio‚" we ever did for the TOA site. Actually, this was before the series officially had a name but we started it out with one of our favorite people in skateboarding, Isle Skateboards captain Paul Shier.

There's something about the act of skateboarding, the culture that surrounds it or the personalities attracted to it that to breeds some pretty creative individuals. Skaters who's very lives depend on being productive in their own unique ways…and who enrich our lives and expand our horizons as a result. That is who the "Artists of Theory‚" series is all about. Meet Evan Kinori, the next Artist of Theory.

The "Artists of Theory‚" series by Isaac Mckay Randozzi continues. And this time with a man who exemplifies the perfect subject matter for the series, the renaissance designer/artist/skater Brian Downey. Pro skater for ScumCo and the mastermind behind the truly DIY brand Falcon Bowse. Isaac caught up with Brian recently and an awesome interview ensued. Click ahead to dive in….

Introducing a new interview series by contributing writer Isaac Mckay Randozzi, the "Artists of Theory". Catching up with the artists, filmmakers, designers and creatives behind the scenes helping to create the culture of skateboarding that we all love. And who better to start off with than Magenta artist and long time TOA family member Soy Panday. 

The new Philosophy series gives us a nice, condensed view into the way some of our favorite skaters and artists see the world. And I don't think there are many skaters/artists out there who see the world through more interesting and thoughtful eyes as Magenta artist Soy Panday
