"Whole Train", a film by Florian Gaag is a drama that takes part in Germany, where the lives of four young men (graffiti artists) are played out. Good friend, DJ Philly has been trying to get this film premiered in London for a while now and it will be shown at 93 Feet East, 91 Brick Lane, London on February 29th.

ESPVisuals are happy to be a proud co-sponsor of this movie premiere and sincerely hope you can make it down to check the movie and whole event out.....

D.I.Y.

Since last year there has been a major increase in the building of D.I.Y. skate spots. It's a really exciting time for skateboarding for the fact that homies worldwide are empowering themselves to put down some un-hampered terrain the way they want it. Rather than wait to have some half-bullshit concrete to be laid by the council, only to find a plague of dummy scooter kids occupying every inch, every single day (I still find it hard to fathom this epidemic), they do it themselves. Kingpin Magazine and Carhartt teamed up (thanks to Alex Irvine & Daryl Nobbs) to shed some light on this sub-culture of skateboarding through a series of shorts entitled 'Set In Stone'. From England to much of Europe, there are some seriously dedicated folk out there proving that there is more to skateboarding than rolling around the place. I've tacked onto the end a place we built called 'Fox Spot' at the same time these projects were going off...enjoy and go build!

Peter Gronquist Bling Taxidermy

"Peter Gronquist is a Portland-based mixed media artist, whose glitzy gold plated weapons and taxidermy sculptures are both a celebration of decadence, while at the same time, address pressing issues of consumerism and war. For his latest solo show, 'The Evolution will be Fabulous,' Gronquist expands on the taxidermy aspect to his work, incorporating a variety of pollards, accessorized with gold, guns and Gucci." [VIA]

Sharpie Lamborghini

Back in 2007, 19 year old CEO Brett David of Lamborghini Miami dealership and Miami graffiti artist Jona Cerwinske came together to turn a classic vehicle into something iconic. Brett began by arming Cerwinske with memories of his father, the dealership, and his aspirations for the future inspiring him to generate a mobile masterpiece drawn completely free hand with no preconceived idea of what the car would transform into using only a simple Sharpie marker.
