Interview | Chris Piascik

2011-03-20T11:55:00.000-07:00

Chris’ work has been featured in numerous publications, and has exploded within the bike blog-o-sphere. In addition to killing it as a designer / illustrator, he can throw down on his 20-inch and fixie. I think for many people in the creative fields, it is easy to become cynical and bitter—but Chris has fortunately managed to evade this. Even in his works that deal with serious topics, there is a sense of humor and positive empowerment that is hard to find.

If you're on the east coast right now then you're probably stuck inside watching snow pour down on the streets. For those of you that miss the summer as much as I do here's a series of photos that were taken at beaches on the east coast to remind you of the warm weather that will be here again soon enough. In the meantime, try to mix good coffee with better conversation.

Point of View | Ryan Bailey

2010-03-13T19:10:00.000-08:00

Ryan is a fun lovin' criminal originally from the deep south of FLA. He prefers shooting the old fashion way (with film), and captures a lot of the intimate moments in his life. Much of his portfolio reminds me of look book for some hip fashion line, in a good way of course. NYC is his playground where late nights are accompanied by friends, booze, lucky chicks, and shutter clicks. His days are spent assisting some of the photo world's big guns, all while building upon his own, already impressive catalog of work. Sorry about the overlap from his auto photo on Defgrip (also a must see), I guess we crossed streams a bit on this one. Keep an eye out for this Ryan, and check out his new website and blog at ryanbaileyphoto.com

Chad Moore | Point of View

2010-02-23T10:52:00.000-08:00

Chad's photos remind me of fun and wild times that I have shared with my own friends, somewhere at sometime. He does a great job of sparking an emotion that might have been felt by the people who were actually there in the flesh. Thats what photography is all about, isn't it? Originally from Florida, Chad now calls New York City home, but also spends a good deal of time living life on the road. Check out Chad's raw style in the selection below, along with the stories that go with them.

Kevin Briggs | Point of View

2010-02-16T19:51:00.000-08:00

Kevin Briggs lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts, but takes every chance he can get to see what the world has to offer. Check out his point to view to see some of what he has seen, and what you may be missing out on.

Point of View | Ben Wentzel

2010-02-07T09:54:00.000-08:00

We are starting a new feature called Point of View, which will highlight a selected artist's work, along with a statement from the arsist describing his personal style and goals. We stayed close home for our first point of view, featuring the work of TLP friend and emerging photographer from PA, Ben Wentzel. See what he has to offer, and check out his personal site at benwentzel.net.

Jed Rogers | Firsthand

2010-02-07T09:29:00.001-08:00

Jed just launched a new website for himself showcasing some of his latest and best graphic design work. Jed is also an accomplished road cyclist, BMXer, and photographer, but we focused more on his life as a designer for this interview. Check out Jed's work at jedrogersdesign.com.

Michael Sieben | View

2008-12-18T19:55:00.000-08:00

I am by no means good friends with Michael, as much as most of the people reading this article in fact. He is by far my favorite illustrator and I am no less than honored to be able to interview him. I can't get enough of his art and I hope he keeps making it for a long time. I asked him to send stuff he wanted people to see and this is what he sent, and I'm siked on it.

Sandy Carson | View

2008-12-18T18:50:00.000-08:00

Now I know it's not unusual for a BMX rider to pick up a camera. What is unusual is for the photos to turn out this rad, especially from such a dialed rider. Here's Sandy and his photos.

Joe Saksa | View

2008-12-18T18:49:00.000-08:00

When I originally did this interview I didn't know Joe that well, now I do. Joe has an insight into life that any of us could wish to have at twice his age. He's easy going and well cultured. His values seem simple and well thought, and I truly believe everyone would benefit from understanding what he is about.

Steve Crandall | View

2008-12-18T18:13:00.000-08:00

A while back I had the priveledge of interviewing Crandall about his art. Since I've gotten to know him a little better. All though he might not be as nice to me as he sounds in this interview he's as rad as he seems in his paintings.
