New art work on wood- Batman

2011-12-09T07:19:00.000-08:00

I've been really into making my own wood frames lately and it's been super fun using glue and clamps to create them.

transfered image onto the wood surface by inking it and adding a light wash to give it some depth.

brought this art piece to an art event and had the whole day to work on it by adding color to it.

Finished piece... 9" x 10.5" Acrylics on wood.
send me an e-mail if your interested in this original piece at: halfcab22@gmail.com
* 11" X 14" art prints of this piece coming soon as well*

A tribute to Metallica

2011-11-16T13:54:00.000-08:00

Exhibit A Gallery founder/artist Richard Villa III and legendary skateboarder Tony Alva in August announced the “Obey Your Master” art exhibit. “Obey Your Master” will feature a collection of artists from the worlds of art, fashion, film, music and skateboarding coming together to pay tribute to the legendary heavy metal band METALLICA.

A list of participating artists and their bios can be found at this location.

For the exhibit, the artists have all chosen a song by the heroes of metal, and will execute their vision in their individual artistic mediums, based on their interpersonal relationship to METALLICA‘s lyrics and music. The final art pieces will represent each chosen song, and will be revealed on January 20, 2012 at Exhibit A Gallery to a private reception, with all of the artists and METALLICA in attendance. The pieces will be available for purchase starting that evening, through March 23, 2012.

Rock music has always inspired fans and creative types alike, empowering and influencing them personally, sonically and artistically. Some examples of the influence of METALLICA‘s music on artists are with Obey Giant‘s renowned street artist Shepard Fairey and his politically driven propaganda art. One could make the connection between Fairey‘s art and an album like METALLICA‘s “…And Justice For All”. Starting in the early 1980s, iconic skateboarder Steve Caballero during skate competitions would correlate his music with his aggressive skate style and would insist to organizers to turn up the volume and blast songs off METALLICA‘s “Kill Em’ All” album. Contemporary metal band BLACK VEIL BRIDES‘ 20-year-old frontman Andy Biersack grew up listening to heavy metal music. One of his most fond memories of early adolescence was sitting in his living room with his childhood friend watching METALLICA VHS tapes. They would thrash along, singing every lyric and banging their heads until their necks felt as if they had been in a car crash. He states, “As I got older and began to write my own songs, the tone and style of James‘ [Hetfield] lyrics and singing became a huge influence to me. The use of religious and cult metaphors and tenacity with which he sang was something I aspired to, and to this day continue to be inspired by. METALLICA to me is the quintessential heavy metal band. Equal parts darkness, intellect and vitriol.”

There have been millions more who have drawn influence from metal music, specifically from METALLICA. Many of these artists are from all walks of life and they are now leaving their own indelible marks on the world and are driven in part by the intellectual rebellious lyrics of METALLICA. Most of these creative fans have never had the opportunity to do any art related to the band… until now!

Protec Pool Party 2011 - Q and A by Ozzie

2011-05-04T06:57:00.001-07:00

In preparation for this years Protec Combi contest, I thought I would ask some of the riders a few questions & post up a photograph of them practicing for the contest. Stevie Cab emailed me back directly & here are the answers from the Masters defending champion..... Once a week, I will be posting up a 'Pre-Protec' Q&A with some of bowlridings greatest riders. I hope you enjoy them. Thanks to DeVille Nunes for the image taken last week. Skate - Ozzie

Steve Caballero

BTO: How much do you still ride vert & bowls?

Steve: I try to ride at least twice a week if I can at home. Family life get's busy sometimes. When I'm on tour, at a contest or trying to practice for one, it's every day leading up to the event.

BTO: With such a competitive scene that defined many vert contests in the 1980s, are you seeing more of that same 'vibe' in the recent Protec
contests? Are you experiencing other riders trying to 'get into each others heads' ?
Steve: Not so much, like the 80's... we are all a bit more mature these days, move a bit slower and it's not like a lot of these guys still do this for a living, so it may not mean as much to them as it did in the past, plus there's not much to prove if you don't have board or shoe sponsors to stoke out. A lot of these guys are just having a good time riding with each other, so it's more of a fun vibe if anything. The only time i think it gets hectic is when it's a free-for-all jam session, then i feel that people start losing respect for each other by dropping in on each other, I've been guilty of it as well that's why I prefer one man in the bowl at a time and I think we skate better that way.

BTO: Coming into the last Protec, did the new pool surface & changes throw you off your game/lines/ strategy?
Steve: No, not at all. It actually enhanced everyone's game, because it made the pool alot easier to skate for everyone, especially for how fast and smooth it became after the re-finishing, It actually stepped up the game, instead of throwing people off in any way because it opened the doors and possibilities for new lines for everyone.

BTO: Do you ever feel stress going into the contest as a 'top guy to beat'?
Steve: Only when I qualify first in the prelims. Then the only other place is to go down in placing's if I don't skate just as good or better in the finals.

BTO: How have you tried to prepare for the Protec contests in the past & this year?
Steve: Last year I skated more than ever and just practiced tricks and lines at home, plus also worked on my endurance... it's not getting easier to stay on a long run these days as we are getting older and older! As for this year, the way I have prepared for the upcoming Protec pool party is throughout this last year, I've tried to make an effort to come down at least once a month to practice new lines and tricks and I think it's paid off a bunch, because I feel very comfortable in the pool this year, even better than last year... so it's on like donkey kong!

BTO: Would you like to see any changes in the contest & what are they?
Steve: I think the contest is run pretty well these days, so not much change is expected from me. I don't like the open jam format and I would really like to skate in order and I'm sure Miller feels the same way. No sense entering a contest and trying to skate your best by avoiding people and not running into them and getting hurt, that's no fun at all.

BTO: Last words?

Steve: I know people are coming after the "masters" title and I'm not going to let it go that easy as it took me 6 years to earn. I just hope that all this hard work I've been putting in all year round pays off once again come next month. I'm really excited to ride with everyone at the contest, so when Saturday rolls by, it's time to turn the "on" switch and let 'er rip! Thanks for all the support and love from my friends, family and sponsors, plus I wanna give a huge shout out to my lord and savior, Christ Jesus... it's all for HIS praise and Glory!
Blessings,
Cab

This is a rare opportunity where artists lower their standard pricing in order to help those in need.

This is the art print i'll be donating to the cause:)

This is a new vert deck from Powell Peralta i did the art for based on an original acrylic hot rod painting i did in 2005! It's so cool to see it come out as one of my personal signature models that displays my own art on it once again. I'm very stoked on this one and to set the record straight... all i did was the hotrod painting in the center, Steve Sherlock (the in-house artist at skateone) came up with the rest or the graphic scheme for this new deck! the ghost Dragon on the nose, the street in the background and the CAB/stop sign image on the tail was all put together by him which brought this all together:)

Inducted into the Hall Of Fame Dec. 4th 2010

My acceptance speech below...

Today is a special day, not only for myself and this years inductees to the Hall of Fame, but for the skateboarding community as a whole. As it marks a new decade of how important skateboarding has become in the lives of many around the world. For something so dear to our hearts, which was once looked at in the past as a fad and childish hobby to finally being recognized as a legitimate sport, professional career and an opportunity to become a successful skateboard industry. It is a special honor to me, a great privilege and a true blessing to be standing here in front of all of you to receive this lifetime achievement.

When i first picked up a skateboard back 1976, i never would have imagined the impact this was gonna make, not only in my life, but the lives of many others for years to come. When i look back at my whole career to see and try understand what all this means and how important skateboarding has become in my life, the only thing that rings clear to me are all the friendships and relationships i have developed that have inspired, supported and encouraged me along the way. So to me, all of you mean more than what i'm actually being recognized for here today... which has been my involvement, contribution and achievements within our skateboarding community.

I'm a true believer that my personal relationships with others off my skateboard have had more of an impact on my life and far outweigh anything else i have achieved riding one. I have also learned that a persons character and attitude means more than their special abilities and talents. I know that many people believe in the term "natural talent", i do not... but in turn, i have more faith in a natural passion for things in life that we discover and become very interested in. For nothing in my life has come easy for me as i know personally how much time, hard work and sacrifice i've put into becoming who i am as a person and always striving to better myself, never being satisfied, nor being complacent with my skateboarding abilities or my personality as well.

One of the hardest things i've had to overcome is fear and personal pride, which being involved with skateboarding has helped to an extent, but not with all aspects of my life and personality. Some will say that skateboarding had saved their lives, but not everyone who has participated can actually say this as i've seen over the years that their own fame and success had ruined them, their professional careers and just gave them more of a means to destroy their own lives, than benefit it. History has shown that success, fame and fortune has not always been a good thing in a person's life. At an early age I had been given me a huge sense of courage yet a small sense of humility which has helped guide me in so many ways that i was able to keep a level head (no pun intended) by not letting all his fame, fortune and success from skateboarding ruin me in such a way that i would have wasted all these abilities and gifts i've been blessed with and nothing left to show for it.

So this question has popped into my mind on several occasions in my life... When my skateboard career finally comes to an end, what will i ultimately be left with? Some cool photos in a bunch magazines? a dozen video parts from the past? some old trophies and plaques on my walls and in my attic collecting dust? or a skateboarding legacy people will soon forget over time? What will this life all mean when i finally pass away? It will mean absolutely nothing, without relationships with other people to share it with!

So...I'd like to give special thanks to my mother and father for bringing me into this world, my wife Rachael, my 3 children, my friends and family and all my skateboard sponsors over my entire career for all their love and support... especially to George Powell, Stacy Peralta, Fausto Vitello and Steve Vandoren, and Michael Furukawa... but first and foremost want to lift up and give thanks to God for blessing me with a life so richly... that it's only because of HIS Love, HIS hope and HIS promises that ultimately keeps me motivated, loving life and finally fulfilled where I could not have asked for a better life than this one here and now and the one awaiting me in heaven!

Finally... with this huge platform and voice that i have been given amongst our industry and skateboard community, it is not for me to claim that skateboarding "saved" my life... but until 5 years ago, little did i know, that it was always my personal lord and savior... Jesus Christ!

I love and thank you all from the bottom of my heart... Grace and peace and God bless†

and so stoked on skating right now more than ever! I feel that we are so blessed to have the skate scene we do now with so many skateparks and places to ride all over the world:) Here's to many more years of skateboarding hopefully and using this platform that God gave me to keep lifting up HIS son Christ Jesus and spreading the good news about salvation and eternal life.

THE 2nd ANNUAL SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME-2010

2010-10-29T07:44:00.000-07:00

Skate legends Torger Johnson, Stacy Peralta, Steve Caballero, Eric Koston, Bob Burnquist and Patti McGee will be inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame during an “invite-only” event in Los Angeles, California’s The Cooper Building. The evening will feature cocktails, appetizers, and a live musical performance. Guests will also get to bit on a large selection of skateboarding memorabilia with proceeds going to the Go Skateboarding Foundation.

“Skateboardings rich culture has been built around iconic heroes that have helped to take skateboarding to another level of progression, inspiration and fun,” said John Bernards IASC executive director. “IASC recognizes the importance of honoring the pros that made skateboarding what it is today” without those icons and legends the tricks skateboarders are doing today would not exist. This year’s inductees represent the best, most progressive skateboarding from 1960 to 2010 and we congratulate each of them on their accomplishments.”

IASC AND SKATELAB ANNOUNCE THE 2nd ANNUAL SKATEBOARDING HALL OF FAME “2010 SKATEBOARDING ICONS TO BE INDUCTED”

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. ” October 27, 2010 – The International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) and Skatelab are proud to announce the skateboarding icons that will be inducted for the Skateboarding Hall of Fame: Torger Johnson, Stacy Peralta, Steve Caballero, Eric Koston, Bob Burnquist and the first female inductee, Patti McGee.
This year’s invite”only event will be hosted at The Cooper Building in Los Angeles, CA on December 4th, 2010. In addition to a live musical performance, guests will enjoy cocktails and appetizers and have the opportunity to bid on a large selection of invaluable memorabilia at both a silent and live auction. Proceeds from ticket sales and auction items will benefit the Go Skateboarding Foundation which sends kids to skatecamp on a scholarship and supports skateboarding related charities “Skateboardings rich culture has been built around iconic heroes that have helped to take skateboarding to another level of progression, inspiration and fun,” said John Bernards IASC executive director. “IASC recognizes the importance of honoring the pros that made skateboarding what it is today” without those icons and legends the tricks skateboarders are doing today would not exist. This year’s inductees represent the best, most progressive skateboarding from 1960 to 2010 and we congratulate each of them on their accomplishments.”

Last year’s Skateboarding Hall of Fame’s inaugural celebration and fundraiser was held at the Vans Skatepark at the Block in Orange, CA and was joined by hundreds from the skateboard community. Last year’s honorees included skateboarding icons: Tony Alva, Bruce Logan, Danny Way and Tony Hawk. The celebration was created to recognize and honor the history of skateboarding and those influential figures that have significantly shaped the sport throughout the years.

“The goal of the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum is to assure that these legendary skateboarders are recognized by their peers and will be remembered by future generations,” said Todd Huber, founder of Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum.

Voting into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame is an intensive process by which IASC members and skateboard industry insiders past and present vote electronically for the person they feel is most deserving. While the ballot has a list of 10 names from each decade as well as a list of 10 females, each category includes a fill in blank in order to give each voter the opportunity to vote for their own candidate.
