Ryan McGinness is involved in several interesting projects lately. Just recently we presented to you his collaborative work with Arkitip magazine. Here we show you now the “Growing Handplants” artwork as a skateboard edition. Coming in an edition of 500, the skate deck comes with a screen printed artwork by the artist. The decks are signed and individually numbered by the artist and now available through Iconoclast.

Once again Brooklyn Projects and Crooks & Castles join forces to collaborate on a series of t-shirts. Unlike most Crooks collaborations, they decided to not do another play on the Medusa or the Chains, and worked on something a little more creative. Taking inspiration from the Crooks classic, the Toy Gun t-shirt. Being as Brooklyn Projects is and always will be a skateboard shop/boutique they chose the skateboard  graphic and colored it up in the toy gun colorways.
Overall they made four t-shirts. Two coming with a simple skateboard graphic, and the other two featuring Brooklyn Project stickers on the skateboard. These tees will drop at all Brooklyn Projects locations and the Crooks & Castles flagship store on Saturday, August 30th.
In case you missed the Brooklyn Project x C1rca collaboration sneaker that we presented to you yesterday, check it out here.

American Artist Marilyn Minter was born in 1948 in Louisiana and raised in Florida.

In the late 70’s after pursuing her MFA at Syracuse University, Minter moved to NYC where she taught at a Catholic boys school and became mixed up with the NY club scene. These experiences influenced her return to the Art world and in 1989 she produced her first show, which was inspired by hardcore pornography. With harsh criticism from feminists, Minter pursued with her work binding imagery from porn videos and beauty advertisements.

In addition to her work with photography, Minter creates paintings which reflect a photo-realist method.

In 2006 Minter collaborated with Creative Time and bought ad space in Manhattan’s gallery neighborhood of Chelsea. She hung four of her visually lush shoe images originally shot for fashion magazines, transcending the fashion ideal back to the human form, attempting to make the fashion image fresh and compelling.

Supreme will release a series of limited edition skateboard decks designed by Marilyn Minter. The series will consist of three decks designed by Ms. Minter.

Available at the NY and LA stores on April 10th and online April 17th.

Japan will release the project on April 12th.
