Disposable (book)

Release Date: 2009/07/04

Disposable - A History of Skateboard Art is 228 pages of full color, featuring over 1000 skateboard graphics from over the last 30 years. But the book is far more than a gallery of photos - longtime skateboard artist Sean Cliver gives his insights into the history of the art, and also into the evolution of the industry. Disposable, A History of Skateboard Art is packed with long quotes from pro skaters, and opens a window into more than just the art, but the heart and history of skateboarding. Sean Cliver, the author of Disposable - A History of Skateboard Art has had a crazy life. He has drawn graphics for Powell Peralta, World Industries, and Birdhouse. Through the story of his migration from company to company you get to see the people who started and ran these companies, their genius and their stupidity, all through Clivers refreshingly frank and honest eyes. Disposable - A History of Skateboard Art doesnt just cover Sean Clivers art, however. Not at all. Cliver takes a look at piles of skateboard art and features not just pro riders but artists as well. Disposable - A History of Skateboard Art is filled with stories and quotes from skateboarders, skateboard artists and industry leaders - Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Mike Vallely, Lance Mountain, Rodeny Mullen, Bam Margera, Natas Kaupas, Tomy Guerrero, Marc MaKee, Jason Lee, Steve Rocco and many, many more. Disposable - A History of Skateboard Art even has extra sidebars that talk about the devil worship fiasco with Natass board, the infamous Napping Negro board, and so much more info that there isnt room in this review for it.
