Skate Wizards is another zine that feels like it should forever be a zine, never a book. A collaboration between Michael C. Hsiung and Loot the Body, it's about, well, skating, cool tunes, wizards and…uh…pipe weed that is totally medicinal. The back cover perhaps says it best, “Once the world was cool. Then it sucked for a really long time. How it has a chance to be cool again or suck forever. It’s all up to the Skate Wizards!”
The system is based on Maze Rats (which I am unfamiliar with) and Nate Treme’s In the Light of a Ghost Star (which I am). This boils down to a lite, three attribute D&D derivative with some unusual spells. Each skate wizard gets the same Permanent spells that they can cast at any time — Ramp, Sidewalk and Rail — which conjure the necessary skating surface. They can also cast one Rando spell per day, the effects of which are determined by rolling on a table and mixing descriptive words, which are then hashed out by the player and the GM. I just rolled “Dope Expanding Fire Tree.” Finally, a Skate Wizard has one Bootleg spell prepared from their collection of skate videos that allow them to perform a specific reality bending trick, like defying gravity for five minutes. There are skater specific magic items and if a Skate Wizard’s health drops to zero, they become a Poser and roll on a table of six lame-o fates they suffer in their new normie existence. A big heap of adventures and a table for generating skate trick names rounds out the package (though, online, you can also listen to the kickin’ soundtrack).
It’s a real treat to have so much of Michael’s wizard art in one place. I love his bold, clean linework and how he often flattens details and patterns so they look like textiles or stitching. And the illustrations are just bursting with humor and personality. Classic.

Multicultural Children's Book Day Part 2
This year, I was also gifted The Jake Show by Joshua Levy! The book was published by Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of Harper Collins Publishing (harpercollins.com). Joshua is Jewish Florida native who has written several middle grade books. Jake is a TV-loving kid who is being pulled between two different worlds: The devout "yiddishkeit" of living with his mother and the secular, STEM encouraging of living with his father. Shuffled from school to school and between these two worlds, Jake has mastered the art of masking, but with the guidance of some excellent friends (and a few close-calls along the way), learns that he can't be both the person his mom wants him to be and the person his dad wants him to be at the same time (let alone himself). I really connected with Jake and the need to perform differently for different groups of people. I also remembered the feeling of starting in a new school and feeling like it would only be temporary. While adjusting to the Jewish vocabulary in the beginning was a little difficult for me (Jake did a great job at providing subtitles for things a few chapters in), this book was a great read! Jake's story will resonate with readers trying to parse out who they are/who they want to be. I'm so excited to add this book to the shelves in my library! Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2024 (1/25/24) is in its 11th year! Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen founded this non-profit children’s literacy initiative; they are two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural diverse books and authors on the market while also working to get those books into the hands of young readers and educators.

Storie delle Olimpiadi: Giovanni Parisi, da Voghera alla gloria
Tumblr media
Un ragazzo che, partendo dalla provincia pavese, ha lasciato un segno nel mondo dello sport internazionale… Giovanni Parisi nacque il 2 dicembre 1967 a Vibo Valentia in Calabria, prima di trasferirsi con la famiglia a Voghera, dove cominciò ad interessarsi fin da adolescente al mondo della boxe,  in cui per i suoi colpi velocissimi ebbe il soprannome di Flash. Il giovane pugliese rappresentò l'Italia ai Giochi olimpici estivi di Seul 1988 dove vinse la medaglia d'oro nella categoria dei pesi piuma, infatti batté il cinese di Taiwan Lu Chih-Hsiung con verdetto unanime ai punti, il sovietico Mekhak Ghazaryan per ferita al secondo round, l'israeliano Ya'acov Shmuel ancora con verdetto ai punti, il marocchino Abdelhak Achik per knock-out tecnico al primo round e, in finale, il rumeno Daniel Dumitrescu con un micidiale KO al primo round. Parisi esordì tra i professionisti il 15 febbraio 1989, a Vibo Valentia, battendo per KO al terzo round lo statunitense Kenny Brown, al limite dei pesi leggeri. Il 25 settembre 1992, a Voghera, Giovanni diventò per la prima volta campione mondiale WBO dei leggeri battendo Javier Altamirano, poi difese il titolo due volte, battendo ai punti il temibile britannico Michael Ayers, Campione Internazionale WBC e con alle spalle una serie di 12 vittorie prima del limite negli ultimi 13 match. Parisi rinunciò poi alla cintura mondiale per passare ai superleggeri e tentare l'avventura americana, infatti l'8 aprile 1995 sfidò a Las Vegas il fuoriclasse messicano Julio César Chávez, uno dei più forti pugili di sempre, per la corona mondiale WBC. Nonostante i pronostici che lo vedevano sconfitto prima del limite, l'italiano si batté contro il più esperto avversario sino al suono della campana finale,  per perdere soltanto ai punti. Tornato in Europa, Parisi riconquistò nel 1996 la corona mondiale WBO, adesso nei superleggeri, sconfiggendo al Palalido di Milano il portoricano Ramon Fuentes e un anno dopo combatté contro Nigel Wenton a Vibo Valentia. Giovanni mantenne il titolo per due anni passando per cinque difese, fino alla sconfitta con Carlos Gonzales a Pesaro nel 1998 e due anni più tardi, nel 2000, tentò la conquista della corona mondiale nei welter ma perse contro il portoricano Daniel Santos. A causa di un infortunio alla mano Parisi rimase per circa due anni lontano dallo sport, tornando a combattere nel 2003 contro Louis Mimoune, poi lasciò la boxe nell'agosto 2006. Flash nella sua carriera ha avuto ben 41 incontri vinti (29 per ko), 5 sconfitte e un pareggio, oltre  un oro olimpico e due mondiali vinti in altrettante categorie. Giovanni Parisi morì il 25 marzo 2009  in un incidente stradale sulla tangenziale di Voghera, dopo che la sua auto, una BMW M6, si scontrò frontalmente con un furgone. Dopo la sua scomparsa, gli venne intitolato lo stadio di Voghera e il 7 maggio 2016 venne inaugurato vicino alla Voghera Boxe un monumento in sua memoria, realizzato dallo scultore pavese Antonio De Paoli.

I haven’t posted anything here in what feels like forever! I’ve been incredibly busy flying to and back from Brazil, i curated an international art show featuring the art of Albert Reyes, Jason Vivona, Mats!?, @michaelchsiung-blog, Jeff Roysdon, Mildred and myself. The show is called HIT THE GROUND RUNNING and it’s up until July 2017.
I also opened an Art Space (I’m avoiding calling it a gallery even though we have white walls, for now, and proper gallery lights) and I’m stoked about it! It’s something I always wanted and have been playing with this idea for 10 years, curating shows and concerts in empty places. @Bendgy opens every Saturday from 2-8pm, we’re also an independent shop with prints, zines, tshirts and other goodies made by creative, original and hard working artists!

Falu Carolei, entrevistado por Michael Hsiung
Influenciado por Thrasher, la revista Surfer y los cómics, los dibujos, murales e ilustraciones del artista de Buenos Aires Falu Carolei son, en muchos sentidos, tributos al skate, al surf, al tatuaje y a la cultura del graffiti; todas cosas que, en definitiva, le abrieron la mente. 
Mientras pensaba que su amor por el dibujo nunca se convertiría en una carrera, Falu encontró un hogar para su trabajo en Vans Argentina, donde durante los últimos cuatro años estuvo realizando murales y obras de arte impresionantes. Estamos entusiasmados por conversar con él sobre sus influencias, su viaje artístico y lo que hizo durante el 2018.
-Falu, antes que nada contame un poco de vos y dónde vivís actualmente...
-Mi nombre es Falu Carolei, tengo 32 años y vivo en Lanús (Buenos Aires, Argentina), donde tengo tengo mi estudio / casa. Allí paso la mayor parte de mi tiempo; crecí inmerso en la cultura del skate, como se puede ver en mis dibujos.
-¿Cómo te interesaste por el dibujo? ¿Quiénes fueron algunas de tus primeras influencias artísticas?
-Dibujo desde que puedo recordar. Cuando comencé a patinar, arranqué una página de una Thrasher que tenía un dibujo de Rick Griffin y lo pegué en una pared de mi habitación, lo miré todos los días durante mucho tiempo. Con los años descubrí que era Murphy, el personaje que Rick dibujó para la revista Surfer. Pasaron muchos años y sigue siendo una de mis mayores influencias. También leí muchos cómics de Quino, un gran artista argentino.
-¿Cómo le describirías tus dibujos e ilustraciones a alguien?
-Mis dibujos son un homenaje a toda la cultura que me abrió la mente y me hizo pensar de manera diferente: el skate, el rock, el surf, el tatuaje y el graffiti.
Soy un buscador de antigüedades: cómics y libros antiguos, patinetas de los años 70 y vinilos viejos ¡Creo que eso también se puede ver en mi trabajo!
-¿Cuándo empezaste a verte creando arte como una carrera? ¿Cuándo empezó a despegar?
-Nunca lo vi como una carrera, lo hago por diversión, como una necesidad del cuerpo y la mente para expresarme; todo lo demás sucedió solo. El año pasado publiqué mi primer libro con ilustraciones, tal vez de ahí me empezaron a tomar más en serio, pero para mí sigue siendo el mismo juego.
-Hiciste muchas ilustraciones y murales para Vans Argentina... ¿Podés contarnos un poco sobre cómo te involucraste? ¿Cuál fue el primer mural que recordás haber pintado para Vans?
-Siempre usé Vans, me gusta su cultura desde que era un niño. Cuando Vans apareció en Argentina, me llamaron porque estaba involucrado en la escena del skate. El primer trabajo fue un mural en un Bowl de 4 metros de profundidad para un campeonato llamado Authentic Bowl Sessions. Tenemos una buena relación, ya pasaron 4 años desde entonces y todavía estoy trabajando para la marca.
-Cuando estás trabajando en una ilustración o un mural... ¿Cómo es el proceso?
-Siempre paso unos días pensando en tener una gran idea genial . Esa idea nunca aparece, así que empiezo a hacer calaveras en motocicletas, skaters  y chicas en hot rods jaja. Muchos bocetos, miro algunos libros antiguos para paletas de colores o fondos. Es el mismo proceso para los murales, en la computadora o en un lienzo, la única diferencia es que en los murales el sol te quema cabeza y el viento y la lluvia te congelan.
-Cuando no estás pintando cosas y trabajando en ilustraciones... ¿Cómo es un día típico en el estudio?
-Cuando no estoy trabajando, siempre tengo una idea para hacer: un fanzine, una escultura, pintar un cuadro... Si es un buen día, voy a patinar con amigos o me voy a alguna feria a buscar cosas viejas y hermosas.
-¿Cuáles son tus herramientas y materiales de arte esenciales?
-Wacom, Computadora, café, lápiz y aerosol.
-Actualmente vivís en Buenos Aires, Argentina... ¿Cómo influyó este entorno o esa ciudad en tu trabajo? ¿Cuáles son las mejores cosas de vivir ahí?
-En Buenos Aires hay una gran cantidad de arte en las calles que quedaron de otros tiempos: viejos carteles, logotipos antiguos y dibujos perdidos por los barrios porteños que son geniales, voy prestando mucha atención a esas cosas.
Hoy en día hay una escena artística muy buenas, y tengo muchos amigos que hacen cosas geniales. Voy mucho a muestras de arte; muchas veces ayuda en el armado u organización de las mismas. Buenos Aires tiene mucha cultura visual y musical.
-¿Cuál fue la última aventura que apareció en una de tus ilustraciones?
-Hace unos meses estuve en Venice, California, surcando y patinando todos los días, de ahí proviene la inspiración de Vans Comic, Vol.1...  ¡Es un cómic donde el personaje está patinando y de repente salta del pier para surfear una ola!
-¿Qué consejo le darías a alguien que quiera seguir tus pasos y dedicarse al arte?
-Nadie puede dar consejos... No hay hombre que sea tan viejo.
Recomiendo tomarse el tiempo para ver los trabajos de los maestros Robert Williams, Jim Phillips, Rick Griffin y Coop, entre otros. Hay mucha información en sus dibujos, cada obra de ellos es una escuela de arte.
-¿Cuál es tu mejor consejo de Art School que te gustaría compartir con la gente?
-Pequeños detalles hacen la diferencia.
-¿Cuál fue tu mayor desafío profesional y cómo lo superaste?
-Cuando tuve que pintar un bowl de 4 metros de profundidad y 30 metros de largo. Con mi amigo Joel Menazzi hicimos una calavera gigante que cubría toda la rampa, no usamos un dron para hacerlo, solo lo marcamos a mano alzada, sin saber si lo estábamos haciendo bien. Tres días después de terminarlo, tomaron una foto con un drone y pudimos ver que estaba perfecta... ¡Fue una locura!
-¿Cuál es tu modelo favorito de VANS?
¡Las Authentic siempre! De la línea Classics.
-Cuando no estás haciendo y creando arte para vos o para Vans... ¿Cómo te desconectás?
-Me divierto con amigos, patino todo el año y surfeo en verano. También disfruto de las cosas simples, que son las mejores, como por ejemplo pasar tiempo en casa con mi mujer y mi perro, escuchando música o mirando un libro.
-¿Qué te depara el fin de año?
-Seguir buscando patinetas antiguas o alguna remera de rock vintage para mi colección. Seguir dibujando y pintando. Soy positivo, se vienen épocas muy buenas. Abrí hace poco una galería de arte con un amigo en un galpón donde también hay una rampa y un bar (sigan a @galeriabunker), así que va a ser un verano muy divertido.

A little reminder from our friends @cara_the_org ・・・ #Repost 1996. For this volume artist Matt Keegan (born 1976) interviews artists and commissions writing to reassess the 1990s as the moment when the Democratic Party abandoned its New Deal values and swung to the right.  In the wake of the 2016 election, Keegan began investigating the Democratic Party’s shifts over recent decades. In the late 1980s, members of the Democratic Leadership Council successfully moved the party’s platform to the right by including a pro-business, pro-military, interventionist agenda, and downplaying social infrastructure as a calculated break from its New Deal-era foundation. This shift led to Bill Clinton’s consecutive terms. 1996 captures this pivotal time in American politics and soci ety through the experience of artists who completed their undergraduate studies in that year and voted for Clinton, and others who were born in 1996 and voted for the first time in 2016. Essays focus on cultural and ideological shifts from that time, such as the 1994 Crime Bill, 1996 Immigration Act, the Telecommunications Act, the start of Fox News and beyond. Interviews edited by Svetlana Kitto. With texts by Alissa Bennett & Mel Ottenberg, Michael Bullock, Dale Corvino, Thomas Eggerer, Svetlana Kitto, Patrick McGraw, Dave McKenzie, Chris Morten, José Muñoz, Debbie Nathan, Yigal Nizri, Nicole Otero & Martine Syms, Mychal Denzel Smith, Natasha Stagg, Lincoln Tobier, Jordan Teicher, and Interviews with Becca Albee, Malik Gaines & Alex Segade, Chitra Ganesh, Pearl Hsiung, Jennifer Moon, Seth Price, Elisabeth Subrin. 📘First establishing itself as a publisher under the imprint New York Consolidated, CARA’s publication program began with1996, co-published with @inventorypress @matt_keeg [Product shot of book.

Multicultural Children's Book Day 2024 Part 1
I was gifted Mightier Than the Sword: Rebels, Reformers & Revolutionaries Who Changed the World Through Writing by Rochelle Melander. The books is published by beaming books (beamingbooks.com) and includes illustrations by Melina Ontiveros. Melander is a public speaker and author working to encourage young people to change their lives and communities through writing. Her non-fiction book, Mightier Than the Sword does an excellent job at capturing the importance of writing across all different fields. She introduces important figures throughout history from a variety of different backgrounds and demographics with short biographies and how they used writing to improve their lives and/or the lives of those around them. I loved the inclusion of different writing prompts and believe this book will make a fantastic addition to my library shelves. Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2024 (1/25/24) is in its 11th year! Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen founded this non-profit children’s literacy initiative; they are two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural diverse books and authors on the market while also working to get those books into the hands of young readers and educators.

The Foxholes presentan "HEX".............. "HEX" se lanza apenas un año despues de publicar "Foxholesque". The Foxholes comenzaron en 2006 en Barcelona.  Siendo una formación de rock estándar, habían experimentado con toneladas de estilos musicales: desde rock a electro, desde new wave hasta rock progresivo.  Liderados por Jonah A. Luke, el proyecto ha trabajado con músicos como Maese 1001 (X-Fasic), Francis Matas (Rainbubble, The New Raemon, S.ym), Anna Pons (Green Dragonfly), y la lista continúa.  En abril de 2009 The Foxholes lanzaron su primer álbum, y desde entonces el proyecto ha lanzado otros nueve, todos grabados en Wheel Sound Studio por Txosse Ruiz (No Way Out, Zimt, Mount Analogue).  En 2021, lanzan "Hex", un álbum conceptual instrumental sobre brujería y hechicería. La formación oficial desde 2017 es: Jonah A. Luke a la guitarra y voz, Ángel Millán a la batería y Max "Mojo" Moritz al bajo. Haciendo cuentas rápidas, con un trabajo cada dos años, demuestran la inquietud y ganas de progresar en el proyecto. El artwork corre a cargo de Michael C. Hsiung, que ha colaborado con marcas como Vans, Burton Snowboards o Dr. Martens.

Even if you are arachnophobic, you probably have seen pictures or videos of Australian peacock spiders (Maratus spp.). These tiny spiders are only 1-5 mm long but are famous for their flamboyant courtship displays featuring diverse and intricate body colorations, patterns, and movements.
The spiders extremely large anterior median eyes have excellent color vision and combine with their bright colors to make peacock spiders cute enough to cure most people of their arachnophobia. But these displays aren't just pretty to look at, they also inspire new ways for humans to produce color in technology.
