Kyle is a skater and illustrator based in London My name is Kyle Platts, I grew up in Sheffield and I’ve been living in South East London since 2008. I think the key to making art and to skateboarding is that you have to enjoy them in the first place. Both of those …
Eloise is a skater and artist What do you think about skateboarding, making art and your creative process I’ve always seen art and skateboarding as very similar creative outlets – that’s why the two fields cross over in so many areas.

Greg is a skater who runs Serious Adult skate company I’m a decorator and in my spare time I draw, what I hope, are funny insights into the skateboarding community. I think skating as a hobby, pastime or whatever is pretty silly when you think about it and I try to highlight the …

Leon is a skater and designer living in Stockholm, Sweden Street beers with homies, drifting from spot to spot, making connections with new people, places and immediate surroundings whilst sonic treats are delivered to you eardrums.

Trav is a skateboarder and artist based in Devon, England The No Comply Network will bring creative people who are enthused and guided in some way by skateboarding together. Skateboarding offers so much in opening minds to so many other ways of thinking, at least it has to me.
