Shawn Mandoli Interview

2012-02-04T22:06:00.000-08:00

Shawn Mandoli was a prominate figure in skateboarding in the early / mid 90's. Originally from San Jose, he came up skating with many legendary skaters and was a part of that early SF scene that left a lasting impression on many people. In 1998, Shawn decided to stop skating professionally in order to pursue other things including missionary work and college. Even though he was no longer doing it for a living, Shawn continued to skate and remain involved in his own way. The following interview starts with Shawn's Bay Area roots and walks us through his journey up until present day.

The Pre-Vinylite Society Sign Art Show Opening Nov 12!

2011-11-02T11:43:00.000-07:00

This unique art show features signs artists and lettering enthusiasts from across the nation who are associated with the Pre-Vinylite Society, a loose network of like-minded letter junkies. The show will emphasize sign art as a gallery-worthy craft, exhibiting the talents of several generations of sign painters in what is quickly becoming known as a Sign Painting Renaissance.

The time honored trade of sign painting has survived through the tradition of mastery and apprenticeship and the Pre-Vinylite Society Sign Art Show highlights the skills and techniques that have been passed down through the ages.

Curated by Josh Luke of Best Dressed Signs, the Pre-Vinylite Society Sign Art Show is the first of its kind on the East Coast. Among other talented painters from around the country, the show will include artists from San Francisco’s New Bohemia Signs, a renowned sign shop owned by the venerable Damon Styer, whose artists have participated in several West Coast sign art gallery shows, including the recent Guererro Gallery show (as seen in Juxtapoz Magazine) featuring Steve Powers. Many of the artists in the Pre-Vinylite Sign Art Show will also be featured in an upcoming documentary by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, titled “Sign Painters,” due out in 2012.

Opening at 8pm on November 12 at the Extension Gallery at Orchard Skateshop. 156 Harvard Ave, Allston, MA. Free beer and vegan pizza!
