About the show
Conceived by Mike Giles and Annie Lam and co-curated by Bob Kronbauer of www.clubmumble.com fame, "Smile On Your Brother" , is an art show centered around the original shape of skateboards when they first hit mass production. This seemed the perfect canvas to launch the contributor campaign.
The idea behind not only the show, but also overall project is to hopefully inspire people to think about their first skateboard and what it meant to them. For many skaters, this still represents a pivotal moment in their lives, with every last little detail, fresh in their minds. Bringing together contemporary artists both in, and affected by the skateboard industry to help raise funds to go towards the first goal of Contributor which is to donate 100 skateboards to disadvantaged youth across Canada in 2009/2010

Hi! Love your blog! I just moved back to Montreal from Portland OR where there is a HUGE craft scene and I would like to say its GREAT to see your store here in Montreal since it's spirit is so wonderful and refreshing to Montreal. I'll be at the Clothing Show in Toronot at the same time as you will be at Livestock and if you have a chance come by and see me! I'll be alone at my booth so I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to come to see you guys!
if you have the chance you should check out my etsy site it has some cool stuff: www.markhed.etsy.com !
cheers!

Do you have a website or flickr or contact for James Kerr? Google searches are not helping me and after seeing that skateboard and the pieces he did for the other show I'm obsessed.
THANK YOU
