Slappe

This is Slappe. Pronounced just like the thing I do on curbs. The Portland, Oregon based artist and skater keeps busy with skating, art shows, teaching college, and more skating. The pick pics of the day are Slappe in the projector room during his show "Rolling Deep" which showcased some nice old skateboard films from the 1970's and early 80's. The show took place in Portland and I am told that Gus Van Sant was in the audience. Nice. The second pic is Pier Park which is one of Portland's several new concrete skateparks. I sure do envy that blue tile...
