A couple weekends ago we held an Art Dump reunion to close out our #3DecadesOfGirl exhibit. We had Bob Kronbauer (Art Dump alumni and former editor for Crailtap.com) run around and interview some members of The Art Dump past and present to talk about graphics, Rick Howard stories, and lessons learned at The Dump ❤️
Andy Jenkins sits down with The Nine Club to discuss wanting to leave Wyoming at the age of 13, meeting a young Spike Jonze, working for Rocco at World doing graphics including Jason Lee’s first graphic “The Cat In The Hat”, how much graphic artists gets paid now vs then, his comic Wrench Pilot, working as the art director for the newly formed Girl Skateboards, finding Evan Hecox, leaving Girl Skateboards then returning after 7 years, #3DecadesOfGirl and much more!
Bobshirt teams up with Eric Swisher from Chromeball for this special interview with Andy Jenkins. Andy talks about being the art director at Girl Skateboards, creating the first Girl series in 1993, getting his first job from a drawing contest, doing early skateboard graphics for bLind, World and 101, drawing crackpipes, Chocolate graphics, 3 decades of Girl skateboards and much more.
On This Day in Crailtap History (Sept. 25. 2004), the Girl & Chocolate posse join The Art Dump in an Australian springtime art assault. Combined with the demos and street skating, were two art shows titled “What Logo” put on by Art Dump Alumni’s, Andy Mueller, Tony Larson, Rob Abeyta Jr., and Andy Jenkins.
For the first exhibition at the ‘In Residence’ space, Oakley has teamed up with the Girl Skateboards’ Art Dump to show a collection of flags, limited skate decks and an oversized poster zine inspired by Los Angeles’ vibrant skate scene.
Malto, Koston and the Art Dump feature heavily in this short vid about Oakley’s In Residence space on Melrose.
