Manolo’s Ocean Howell Mixtape.

Ryan — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:53:17 +0000

If the name Ocean Howell doesn’t mean anything to you right now, then prepare for a crash course in skateboarding elegance as Manolo serves up a 4 minute 54 second mash up of Ocean’s finest on camera moments.

Between his technically progressive H-Street and Birdhouse days, right through to his beyond graceful recent output (‘First and Hope’ and all the rest), Ocean has always been a fan of the ‘quality over quantity’ mindset. Your favourite skateboarder’s favourite skateboarder no doubt, and the reason a lot of people started listening to The Doors.

Peace Frog.

More on the Jeremy Scott – Jim/Jimbo Phillips rip-off.

From the house of NHS…

Robert A. Denike, CEO and President, NHS, Inc. / Santa Cruz Skateboards
Hello,
We are having a problem with this person ripping off Phillips and Santa Cruz artwork. Please help us spread the word. You can use the information below.
This is the image that kicked it all off, we did not produce this link or the attached image of it, we are not sure who did produce it:

We had never heard of Jeremy Scott until it was brought to our attention. This is not a collaboration or under license, nor did we or the Phillips family approve the use of this artwork on his apparel designs in any way.

It’s obvious to us, the Phillips family, the fans of Jim Phillips Sr. and Jimbo Phillips, and fans of the brand Santa Cruz Skateboards, as well as many in the global skateboard and skate art community that there is clear and obvious infringement by Mr. Scott. We are discussing this with our legal team to determine our next steps.

These two artists and this brand are iconic. Any true fan of skateboarding will tell you how the Phillips artwork style, this brand and the activity of skateboarding has positively influenced their lives. It may just be artwork to Mr. Scott, to be used and thrown away by next season, but these artists and brand mean a lot to many people around the world. And by the looks of the outcry on social media, skateboarders and non-skater’s alike are angry to have two of their most favored artists and one of the original true skateboard brands violated in such a way.

I hope that Mr. Scott sees that his actions have hurt and affected many people, including the Phillips family, and that he has also severely damaged his own reputation. It is not too late for him to do the right thing, as an artist and creative person, and fix his error in judgement.

Many people have concluded that Jeremy Scott must have obtained a copy of Jim Phillips Sr. book “The Skateboard Art of Jim Phillips” published in 2007.

There is some obscure art in the book that Jeremy Scott lifted and it could only have come from that book.

Thanks for helping expose this. Let me know if you need anything else.
