Love and Guts

     "Love and Guts" photo / art show. 

Thrasher Magazine had a show in celebration of "30" Years of Thrasher Magazine. 

The show took place at the Lab in Costa Mesa and featured iconic photographs over the years featured  in the magazine along with some Art from influential skateboarding artist. 

Thrasher magazine has always been the pulse to raw skateboarding with some of the best staff photographers skateboarding has ever witnessed. Big thanks to Fausto Vittello and Kevin Thatcher for creating the magazine and to Mofo and BK for taking some of the greatest skateboarding photos that still influence me to this day. Also thanks to Jake Phelps and all the new photographers for keeping the legacy alive. Viva Thasher Magazine, Skate and Destroy! - Jose Cerda

CLARION ALLEY (San Francisco)

  

On my last trip to up San Francisco I was fortunate enough to hit up some spots I haven't been to in a while, one was the skatepark near the mission district. It was a good session with exception for it getting cut short due to fog that wet the concrete. Another was just the Mission district in general, the art and murals all over the walls and to top it off the mexican food restaurants. They have burrito places that put Chipotle to shame. I always make it to legendary "Pop's Bar" also, a local bar with a great juke box and usually some local skaters to kick it with. 

This time around I was able to reconnect with a friend Jill Johnson that I knew from elementary school that lives in the city. We met up at a wine bar / restaurant around the corner from her place for a couple drinks and some appetizers. She was telling me about this alleyway called "Clarion Alley" that was a designated art alley where artist could paint without being hassled by the man. So we went and checked it out, the place is amazing and I highly suggest anyone interesting in the arts to check it out while in San Francisco. 

                                                                   Enjoy, Jose Cerda

Hecho en Mexico

¡Hecho en Mexico!

During the week, I work in Tijuana manufacturing skateboards, I stay in Playas which is the first beach town next to the U.S. / Mexican border. Its a quite town with not much going on, some really good mexican seafood restaurants, taco stands and even some fast food american chains have moved in.

I usually go for walks on the beach just to absorb the ocean breeze and sunsets, its quite pleasant. The following photos were taken while on one of my walks, some street art and others murals commissioned by artist. I hope you enjoy them. - Jose Cerda
