New Limited Edition Kevin Staab Poster - Meeting and Making an Iconic Skate Photo

by Grant Brittain October 16, 2022

I gave my designer friend, Josh Higgins, the black-and-white photo of Kevin Staab's ollie shot from 37 years ago and asked him to design a pop-art-like collab silkscreened poster for Staab and me to sign and number.

While Digging Through Old Skate Photos For My Book Gems Come to Light

by Grant Brittain November 01, 2018

I have been working on my book feverishly for the last two years and I keep unearthing Photo Gems from my Garage Archive. This powerful photo of Natas Kaupas came to my light table and I did a quick dupe of it with my Macro lens. I ran it on Instagram and some of my followers went crazy, they had never seen it before. If anyone is seriously interested in purchasing a print, let me know and I will get it scanned. Shot in 87 in San Diego. Photo: Grant Brittain

The Holy Trinity of Street Skating

by Grant Brittain March 06, 2018

I was very lucky to have been around at the time that Mark Gonzales, Tommy Guerrero and Natas Kaupas were forming what we know as Street Skating. I was fortunate to have been invited into their creative studios out in the streets. Thank you Guys!

Natas Kaupas, Tommy Guerrero and Mark Gonzales are the Holy Trinity of Street Skating
