Ian Johnson article in S.F. Chronicle - new book in the works!

Comrades:

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to write a story about my friend Ian Johnson for the S.F. Chronicle, which appeared in the 96 Hours section of today’s paper. I’m happy with the piece; however, I must say, that it's quite difficult summing everything up about a person (a friend in particular) and their work in 500 some words. I would have loved to go into more detail about Ian, Western Edition Skateboards and his art, but maybe next time. Ian’s blowing up, so I’m sure there will be plenty of other opportunities. The sub header in the print version of the story is kinda goofy -- I don’t have final right-of-review -- but it’s all good. S.F. Chronicle Art Director Matt Petty put together a short video to accompany the piece. Matt always comes correct! I love collaborating with him. Below is a link to the story, photos and video:

Also, below is a link to my “City Sports” column, which appears every Thursday in the 96 Hours section of the S.F. Chronicle. Bay Area folks: there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on this weekend, including a massive pillow fight at EMB (Embarcadero’s Justin Herman Plaza). Get some…

Happy V-Day!

--
Penned by our good friend Travis Jensen we were delighted to see the insane talents of Ian Johnson getting some much deserved shine in the S.F.Chronicle. Ian was responsible for Pooretry's cover art and we feel fortunate to have worked with him on that. It conveyed the perfect message and feeling we were looking for to accompany the music.

Check the article it's short and sweet!
