I dont know wher you come from by saying the average age for skatebaording is 13 -16 you got that all wrong, the average age range is any where fromlike 5 20's and i say that because of where i live there are at least 4 parks in the area and all of which have kids from 5-20 on a daily basis. now adys kids start skating younger. I do agree with you though about the marketable shit for a younger generation. but if you take a real good look at the market he is hitting you got skate shops that feature graff stuff like mags paint caps markers all of that stuff in a skate shop and then you get artists like dalek that have shoes and trucks its catering to the writers and the people that skate. two makrets at once.
Here isan interview that clears up Dalek and graffiti...
AVC: How old were you when you moved there?
D: I was 24 or 25. I graduated high school in Japan in 1986, and we moved to Hawaii. Needless to say, when I lived in Hawaii I didn’t do much of anything except go to the beach every day. I worked in a shop and just sort of hung out for a couple of years. As far as graffiti is concerned, I got started doing graffiti pretty late in the game. Most kids started when they were 15 or 16, if not younger. I hadn’t really been exposed to it before, and when I was, it instantly appealed to me.
sure, skaters range from the age of 5 to 40, but
the core demographic of a skateboarder is 13-16.
thats why all the skate mags cater to that age group.
which is also why, you dont see car ads in skate mags, and other mature non-endemic ads.
but you see those type of ads in surf mags and snowboard mags,
where their demographic is towards the late teens into the twenties and even older.
for example, big brother and strength was a mature audience magazine,
but both of those have folded. the older skater does not keep the industry going.
it's the kids and their parents who put money into this industry.

New Penny Model coming out for Supra shoes..
HOT!
Btw, I also read somewhere that Muska is on supra shoes..
(along with Eric Ellington, Jim Greco, Antwuan Dixon and Tom Penny)
OK ...
I will spill the beans .....
Those shoes are not the Penny ... that is the Ryder Mid. that color way is super sick but not set to go into production as of right now. It has 3 color ways that will release soon.
Only pro rider shoes for the first season will be the EE and the Penny.
And who knows from there.
[/b]
yeah confirmed.
muska is on supra.
kinda made obvious after ASR went down.

this might be corny,
but them chopper shows on tv have been making me want to build one,
not one of them occ style, chester cheeto bullshits,
but like an old triumph,
something from the 40s or 50s,
where its just frame, motor, and bare bones.
i went to a hot rod show recently,
and some of those builders had the jankiest choppers,
shit was dope,
all petina'd and pinstriped.
which also got me into pinstriping,
i got a couple cans of one shot and some brushes, and been fucking around with that.

make a website.
since most job apps are happening through email,
having a website ready with all your work will compell the employer to look at your shit
right away, instead of taking the time to write to you back,
then set up an appointment etc....
especially if youre not the best writer, when talking about yourself.
make the website short and sweet.
10-15 best works,
ive been told to focus my portfolio towards the field of interest youre most passionate about..
example.. if you want to work in publishing,
have your portfolio filled with print design work,
or if youre into ad, have mostly ad stuff.
in order not to confuse the employer of your objective.
i kind of did that, but added a few different pieces just to show a taste of what else i was into.
the place i work for now, said one of the reasons why i got the job, is because i had a
website ready, while many other applicants didn't...
making less hassle for the employer, and making it easy for them to choose who
to look further into for the position.

they appear to be more of a tennis shoe fit, rather than a skate shoe design. another reason why i won't spend my money of garbage like that
there have been some skaters skating them.
its just your generic stan smith.

Whoa! That interview sounded like a joke. But I guess that's how some people are. Lovely work. I want to see and read more. Time for some serious google-ing.
bump!
in the tokion article he says when he gets interviewed,
sometimes he gets other people to answer for him,
or he copies answers from others peoples interviews,
and shit like that...
nothing is ever really a straight answer.

Theres no point in trying to prove anything to you? you think your so right in the things you say anyways. kids and parents are NOT puting moneyinto an industry with graffiti. do you see parents ordering caps and markers for thier kids to go out and get up? no you dont. before you start talking about things you should make sure you know enough about it.

im not trying to argue with you,
but its just what i know about the skate industry,
is where i was making my point on who the target audience is.
but for opinions sake...
from your original reply about hitting both markets.
do you think graffiti writers really want to buy this shit?
its like buying a tribal shirt, or wearing shirts with graffiti on it.
just tacky.
and you're right, parents arent putting money into the graff industry,
which is the reason dalek is making this shit for skateboarding,
because there is money in that industry.
thats why it aint graff for the skate comunity,
cause its a neon space monkey,
so parents will buy thatshit.
and people that know who he is, dont care.
it's been around the block a few times,
i dont even know what we were dicussing about.
my post was just mainly stating, his shit got bland,
but the skate market took it up,
[and my original post being, that the skate market is between the age of 13-16],
all cause its a lovable chracter.
