October, 30, 2009 Seattle, Washington - Halloween kicked off early in Fremont as Ride Snowboards brought down the freak show, ahem, i mean “Tweak Show” to evo for a night of terror! It was such a sick event, everyone dressed up and the films were incredible. Lets see, we had Ride’s team film “Along for the Ride”, Pirate Productions and Videograss’s latest film. Despite the incredible line up of films, people seemed to be preoccupied by the array of crazy costumes, the photobooth, games (Wheel of Death, Skull Toss, Membrain) and the Ride pro team was in the house signing autographs. Mikey Leblanc, Hana Beaman, Jusso Lavisto, Darrell Mathes Austin Hironaka, Megan Ginter, Nash, Marco, Cory Noble and the whole ride crew were present and accounted for.
Here are a couple shots from the night but check out the full Flickr Photobooth Album and the full Flickr Album from the Party.

evo Art Galley Exhibit: Progress Syndrome by Hunter Longe
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON –Hunter and his art were welcomed with open arms after a long haul from San Francisco late last Wed night. With lots to get done over the next few days, we quickly unloaded his twin brother’s truck and decided to make a plan over some substance. We took a walk down 36th for some late night Thai food from Jai Thai and discussed how the next few days would unfold leading up to the exhibit opening. Read the rest of this entry »

commentary by Bekah Grim
Abandon what you thought skateboard graphics could be—farewell kitschy skulls and a few predictable stars. Artist Mark Rivard has rescued skate design and has reinvented it with his original artwork. He’s amping up skate decks with everything from a two-years-in-the-making Breckenridge landscape to an organic blending of a women’s body with a tree—fine art and skateboarding have collided.
In celebration of Fremont’s First Friday Art Walk, evo’s Times Infinity art gallery debuted the opening of Mark Rivard’s feature gallery. The opening rocked steady with jams from DJ Grapenuts, and even Rivard himself was there to hang out, drink some free beer with the evo crowd and talk about his artwork. Incredibly, we learned Rivard has no formal artistic training. He began sketching on skate decks after a ski accident in ’03 left him wallowing on his mom’s couch. “I pretty much needed something to do and so I reached for a skate deck and starting drawing.” Rivard explained.
This artist has gone from injured to ingenious, sketching up his super-detailed skate deck magic with Sharpie markers. That’s right, Sharpies.
Several of Rivard’s pieces in the evo gallery include the artist’s free flow writings about life, liberty, and pursuit of skateboarding. When asked if the writings were poetry, Rivard just laughed: “I don’t consider it poetry. It’s just what I have to say. The piece Slow Beat came from a night of drinking.”
Rivard keeps it real when talking about his art, skipping out on the fancy “isms” and fine art snobberies. We’ll skip those too. Rivard’s deck art is what would happen if graffiti artist Banksy was a Siamese twin with the graphic designers at Imperial Motion. These skate decks are urban mindwarps, with skylines melting into faces and faces melting into crows. Rivard’s art is inventive; Fishing for Ugly goes underwater with a fish, while above the surface an emu peeks out. There just aren’t enough emus at art galleries these days.
For those of you who missed out on opening night’s free beer, chill vibes, and DJ Grapenut’s grooves, fret not; you can still take in the emu. Rivard’s decks will be displayed in evo’s gallery for the rest of the month.
Evo’s art gallery openings are a regular event held every first Friday of the month to debut the work of a feature artist. To find out about upcoming artists, check out evo.com.
