Overspray 9, the Political issue is finally here, and we got Sarah Palin to pose for the cover! JUST KIDDING.

Hot like tamales, fresh off the press, this one is a mind bender, with in-depth articles tracing street art’s historical roots in politics, from Ron English’s billboard liberations, all the way back to the Situationist International using stencils to revolutionize France in the 1960’s. You want to know about how a guy in the west bank told Banksy to go home? Do it here.

Check for it instore at Boundless soon.

The 1 Year Anniversary Show for Boundless Radio couldn’t have gone down better.

Teddy King, DJ Sic Roc and Sticky Stampede took care of business last night.

If you listen closely you might catch Sticky Stampede spinning Ghetto Thang from De La into some old Beastie Boys instrumentals from The In Sound From Way Out! . I haven’t heard either song in a min. And Teddy King always starts the show off with a record that murders.

Flipping though the pages of the newest Color Mag last night. I hit an interview with Jeremy Elkin talking about his newest project, a free skate film called: LoDef .

I respect it when people do things just for the love and I also respect free shit. And so should you, this covers both. Check out LoDef below and head to their site to download your own copy.



And this interview pretty much covers the why and who about this film with Elkin. I jacked it from here Thanks homie.

Q: This is a lot shorter than your average skate vid.

You over the epic 40 minute videos? Why?

A: I didn’t set out to make this film, I just filmed everyday and molded my clips all together. I wanted to make something that was different than the rest of the videos that come out on the internet every week.

I find that it’s as if videos being made these days go by an instruction pamphlet on how to make a skate movie. I’m pretty sure it requires random HD clips scattered throughout the film, 46 additional filmers (using 8 types of camera setups)need to be involved in the project and there needs to be at least 50 ramped slow motion clips. I kept this film short, fast and most importantly- watchable before you go skateboarding.

Lo-Def is by no means epic, it just makes you want to go skate.

There’s no fancy effects or 50 second intros for the parts. In fact, there’s no intros really. It’s underground east coast skateboarding. There’s hardly any “played out” spots, no big names and definitely no tall tees.

Q: The scene in quebec has always been super strong, if not a little isolated from the rest of the country. Do you think the video will help get some of these insane PQ riders the respect they deserve outside the belle province?

A: I feel as though no one cares about videos anymore, unless they’ve got big names in them. Skaters strive for magazines, not films. Shops don’t buy videos anymore because no one wants to spend thirty bucks at a shop, when you can get it for free sitting at home.

We put a lot of time in this film though. It gives a really accurate glimpse of Montréal and the current scene here that’s changed so much over the last couple years.
Hugo [Balek] is good.
Bob [Lasalle] kills it harder than most and is really underrated.
Just watching Bob powerslide down a hill is more enjoyable to watch than most things you see in videos, we tried to show that in his part.

Seb [Labbé] is blowing up.
He’s the next one to come out of the province for sure. Good on a board. He’s always motivated and super happy. I’ve known him for about four years now and I’ve yet to see him stressed.

Boundless wants you to know that even though its cold as fuck out here in NY, find a way to SKATE ANYWAY!!!!!!

Nai and crew over at Strictly Fitteds keep getting bigger. Its cool to watch all the hard work pay off.

They added a new feature to the site : Dear Strictly Fitteds check it out below. ALL PHOTOS AND TEXT JACKED FROM STRICTY FITTEDS

• In response to the sheer amount of comments and questions we receive on the daily, we’ve created a new feature. In the “Dear Strictly Fitteds” category we will select one question to answer in detail. Enjoy.
  
  Q: What hat is featured in the “get caught in the act” ad on this website? – Laura R.
  
  

A: The cap that appears in our “get caught in the act” ad (worn by Graphic Artist, BRANDON P!) is the King Stampede Pigpen 59Fifty baseball cap.

The KS PIGPEN fitted baseball cap drew it’s inspiration from one of the original founding members of the GREATFUL DEAD, Ronald C. “Pigpen” McKernan (R.I.P). The headband detail is a tribute to the multi-talented musican and his signature headband. The KS PIGPEN was originally offered as part of their Spring ‘07 collection in Celadon, White and Black.

This is currently sold out at BOUNDLESS. Happy digging!

Make sure you keep checking Stricly Fitteds and watch for them to keep making moves in 2009.

King Stampede 5 Year Capsule Collection:

The 5th year Anniversary Capsule contains hand picked graphics that we brought back to the drawing board for a re-edit. The designs we picked from were not “best sellers” or “classics”, in fact most of these went overlooked when they were initially released. The Graphics in this capsule are the ones that meant the most to us as designers. The ones which reminded us that we were not like other brands and that in fact we were doing exactly what we set out to do. This one as always was made for the harvesters. Thanks for 5 years !
