Our Buddies, have got a Skate Park opening with Jams, Demos and loads more...

Just recently completed, this park has it's fair share of ledges, bowls and rails.

Also, as a compliment to the majority of the Parks basic grey crete colour, they have strategically placed warm burgundy red concretes as a contrast.

A fine example of subtle embellishments - a trait which Maverick have built their reputation on... so what ya waitin for get down there and skate it☋

Editors: Greg Hilty and Alona Pardo

Publisher: Merrell - in association with the Barbican Art Gallery, London

It's hard work being an animator, with time and energy spent on the minute details in order to get every action and reaction in their characters to gell perfectly.

This book explores 150 years of history up to present day, featuring techniques such as hand-drawings, stop-motion, puppetry, computer animation and more experimental forms.

With earlier works like Felix the Cat, The Flintstones and Betty Boop to more resent pleasures like Astro Boy, Avatar and The Incredibles, with of course many more.

Interesting Chapters include:

☀Object, dream and Image in Animation

☀The Toolbox of Technology and Technique

☀Experiencing Animation

☀Characters

☀Superhumans

☀Structures

☀Visions

With loads of pictures and narrative it's worth a check, specially if your hiding in a box with nothing to do - don't believe us, just ask The Toy Story Crew☋
