Description here the latest offering from the combined forces of WONDERFIST and THE INFAMOUS BE-MAG
this issues article in the 'how to be a ....' series is 'how to be a washed up pro rollerblader'. basically what happens when you get sponsored and then drink more and skate less....
not much to say really, it all makes more sense (esp compositionally) when the text is on there but im not allowed to post that up outside of the magazine. again, please go check out be-mag [link] and love up the best rollerblading magazine on the planet.

for those who were wondering the label on the bottle was a photomanip but the bottle itself is a painting so i could get the required glass distortion (or rather a close enough approximantion)

theres an odd little white line on the left of the bottle which is some sort of artifact from the jpeg process so pay attention class and DON'T TELL ME ABOUT IT I ALREADY KNOW. i tried to get rid of it but photoshop isn't having any of it so just let it go kids, it won't be there on the print version i asuure you.

well heres what i know about petty:
over the years the guy has shafted his knees a million times and made just as many come-backs but it looks like this time hes run out luck. i dunno about him not rolling infront of cameras but ive had a real bad knee injury that has plagued me for like 3 years now and it really blows up your confidence so that could be why. i certainly don't like being filmed much right now ...plus hes got his big move into the industry with JP footwear and im not sure about this but i think hes got married. all that real life eventually catches up with you i guess. i think the guys done enough over the years to count as a little more than just washed up.

as for prints i just sorted out a deal with a really really good printing company that can supply me with prints. this was due to happen on wonderfist this week or next week but our host is being a dick so this has been postponed till we relaunch the site with the new hosts. i don't know if i can sell the be-mag work, i will have to check with be-mag but i will have a fairly good range of stuff at A2 size and possibly some at A3. they will be more expensive than DA prints but they will be quality.
