METAL PUNK ICONOGRAPHY IN AMERICAN SKATEBOARDING CULTURE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on vintage sticker designs for SANTA CRUZ "RIP GRIP" skateboard deck grab for vert riding, c. mid 1980s, USA.

MINI-OVERVIEW: SANTA CRUZ "RIP GRIP" were self adhesive foam "stickers" originally introduced in the mid 80's, c. 1986/'87 by Santa Cruz Skateboards. The idea was you stuck them on the underside of your board where you were likely to grab when doing airs, they helped you grip a little better in theory.

Queer stickers for Bookshop Santa Cruz to sell before and at my event on January 4th! If you're not in the area, you're welcome to DM me and I'll try to get you a quote for whichever designs you like in whatever quantities + shipping. These are primarily based on vintage LGBT pins with input (see: TS reference) from BSC staff. More below the cut!

More photos coming of these in particular shortly! I'm especially proud of the one inspired by Richard Fiala's iconic shirt comic. I just got the second order delivered, so it'll take a moment to get them all lined up and photographed nicely.

Antifa sticker spotted in Santa Cruz, California

My 3-day California vacation (8/30-9/1). This was my first time seeing Disneyland during its Halloween event so I got to see the fireworks (and my aunt got me a holographic Snow White card). But of course, Santa Cruz is the one I have an entire essay’s worth of paragraphs about. We stopped by Pismo Beach on the way and it was already almost 6PM by the time we reached our motel. We went to the comic store and sadly I didn’t see Joe there, but I did still get a Vampires Everywhere! replica, a “Santa Carla” sticker and 2 Atlantis Dollars. After dinner at the food court we finally went to the boardwalk, where I rode the carousel for the first time. The last photo contains everything I got minus the DL bucket hat and the bootleg water game from PB.

I saw recently you came to Santa Cruz and I was so happy to see your post about it !! I'm a student at ucsc and went to the Monterey aquarium for the free weekend, thought you'd like to see the little otter I got to match my beanie from your shop!!!!!! :)

YAY!!!!! I have the same otter that I also got there. You can also find a hidden CM sticker by the otter themed souvenir shop on cannery row >:-)

My job gave me a free mug with their corporate logo on it.

But, since they’re firing me tomorrow, I taped my Santa Cruz sticker over it.

Me, having a great time at The Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz. This was before hauling my ass up that steep hill. The Mystery Spot made me a little dizzy with it's disorienting architecture. The tour was relatively short in distance, but you do get your $10 worth. And the traditional yellow Mystery Spot bumper sticker is only provided when you are at the end of the tour. They don't sell that one in the shop. You have to earn it.

Y'all (all 3 of you) I have so many fun things planned for October. It's going to be a spooky artsy fun times month. I'm going to be selling stickers and postcards and I'm teaching watercolor to so many people at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History!

I am also trying my first October art challenge, except I'm just making up my own theme because I do what I want. It's called Bugtober and it's gonna be watercolors and entomology.

On a completely different note I'm watching NBC Hannibal right now and aaaaa 🧑‍🍳🤌 👨‍❤️‍👨🥩 I have so many thoughts, starting with #1, I would let Hannibal kill me
