THH70 to Donate Original Skate Deck Artwork for Charity A-List Show!

The Swift Cantrell Skate Park Committee is a committee appointed by the Mayor and City Council of Kennesaw, GA in an effort to build a public skate park. It is an all volunteer, grassroots, non-profit group working to raise funds to build a skatepark in Atlanta, GA. There are no public skateparks within 30 miles and kids skating in the street has become a big issue with the citizens.

 

As their major fundraiser, they put on an annual art show and auction to benefit the park.“The Grind 2.0" features artwork from top notch underground artists across the country on the bottom of skateboard decks. Their show last December (The Grind 1.0) was a HUGE success and raised more than $20,000 for the skatepark -- it featured works by Shepard Fairey, Faile, Mike Giant, Jordan Crane, Nathan Ota, The Pizz, Todd McFarlane, BAST, Oliver Vernon, and Tim Biskup…basically more than 60 of some of today’s best illustrators, painters, tattoo artists, graffiti writers and street artists.

The next show will take place on October 10th, 2008 at The Rabbit Hole Gallery in Atlanta, GA, and all of the skate decks will be available for ONLINE BIDDING if you are not able to come to the show in person! Some of the A-list artists showing custom-painted skate decks besides THH70 are Dave Kinsey, David Ellis, Dan Baldwin, Jake Johanson, Ashley Montague, Steve Caballero, Amy Sol, Scott Musgrove, Greg Lamarche, Jason Thielke, John Malloy, Laura Brink, Joey Remmers, D*Face, Arik Roper, Mear One, Billy Mode, Chris Stain, Joshua Krause, Marion Bolognesi, Steven Daily, Nathan Spoor, Joshua Ellingson, Dan Witz, Revise, Chris Ryniak, Helen Garber, Jason Maloney, Jason Limon, Josh Keyes, Jim Phillips, Tara McPherson, Steven Lopez, Edmund Wyss, Germs, Allison Torneros, Eric Bailey, Buff Monster, David Hale, Nate Van Dyke, Nic Klein, David Choong Lee, Jef Aerosol, Dan Brereton, Jeremy Wagner, Kris Marchovich, Kenji Hirata, Mike Ming, Jason Noto/Morning Breath, Charlie Owens, JRF, Aiko Nakagawa, Greg Gossel, Paper Monster, Tessar Lo, Chris Reccardi, Amanda Lynn, Cope2, Nash Hogan, David Flores, Jon Foster, Michael Hyp, Rick Reese, Dan Grzeca, Tony Larson, David Carson, Bishop203...
