Heroin Gunsho deck series
Fos sent us some news today to launch the brand new series of Heroin decks to you exclusively from Crossfire and has this to say:
“I hate Illustrators. I get these people sending me stuff all the time wanting to do boards, and all their work looks the bloody same. It’s like one person copied a Japanese cartoon, and everyone else copies them or something. Happy, inoffensive drawings of big headed cute cartoon people doing nice things. I hate it. I look at shops in town and there are books filled with this crap that all looks the same to me.
Seriously though, there are very few illustrators whose work I see and think that they’re trying to do anything different. When I first saw Gunshos work, I knew that he wasn’t trying to make any friends with what he was doing, drawings of dribbling, gruesome demons, with cocks and broken bottles.
The guy can draw, he can draw bloody well, so I thought, why not bell him up and ask him to draw demonesque portraits of all our Pros. Damn, he nailed it. The Pulman one kills me every time I see it and the Howard one is so close to home it’s scary!
Check his site for more nastiness at www.gunsho.com, these will be out at the end of November.”

The Making of SMP skatepark
The SMP skatepark in Shanghai, China, is officially the world’s biggest skatepark, and no doubt you’ve already seen the likes of Trujillo tearing the place to pieces.
This lengthy documentary and image gallery features the two Aussie designers and builders of the park, Darren White and Simon Oxenham, giving their thoughts and ideologies towards a project of this size.
When budget is not an issue and and you’ve got a strong army of 100+ Chinese workers to handle the manpower behind your creative vision, you’re definitely one huge step ahead of the process. The “Bigger is Better” skatepark project took a total of 18 months from the initial brainstorming sessions with OZ skate die-hards Tim “Dorfus” McDougall, Tom, “VB” Flaherty, Renton Millar, Brett Margaritas, and Morgan Campbell to completion.
Got a spare half hour this morning? Then get the kettle on, sit back and watch, then think about booking yourself a flight over to China for the weekend.
