Andrew Paynter and Geoff McFetridge

Andrew Paynter was featured in our first Solitary Arts photo ad (boosting a frontside ollie), is a great professional photographer and is a true friend to both Geoff McFetridge and myself. Andrew has been steadily photographing and documenting Geoff over the past 10 years and Monster Children magazine (issue 29) ran a truncated preview of what looks to be a larger collection in the near future.

The Critical Slide Society... Australia

The Critical Slide Society is a slippery little creature, wrestled from pencils, paintbrushes and procrastination of a small few in Australia. The key bowmen behind TCSS are Jim Mitchell and Sam Coombes.

After putting their heads and minds together and a few months of strict saltwater dieting and soulful skeg flexing, TCSS is now living and breathing...

The Solitary Arts is proud to have The Critical Slide Society in Australia carrying the goods.  Thanks to Sam, Jim and Suzie for their support!  

Check-out the TCSS SHOP often.

We remember, Kenny Brimer...
