Are you a madman or simply an ad fan? Either way, here’s a Top 40 countdown of all 16 ads we placed this year in skateboard magazine. Yes, the printed ones. With ink. On paper. Off presses. Because physical matter matters.

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

Curious about the intersection of skateboard graphics, social commentary, satire, and other visual things that make a disposable statement? Check out with this bit of printed matter in an increasingly digital age:

Good morning. Maybe it was Hegseth’s “Kill em all,” order, but I have realized that popular culture and radical conservatism has completely destroyed the culture i grew up in, and it’s just absurd that so many pretend it hasn’t. That monstrous man was made by TV, movies, …

Incompetence will save us from full blown autocracy… probably

Trip the tryptophan fantastic. Or, digest and destroy with this look back on a shoe that beat all legal odds: the Holiday 2012 Nike SB “Krampus” Dunk High. Words, a lot of them, but pictures, too, found here:

Amid all the heavy, how about something light and refreshing? No, I’m not feeling 7up, but I did have a couple of art shows in Japan and consumed a lot of fish (the latter which you will not read about at all… just trying to tie up the title with a neat and tidy bow):

"You have at times seemed to question the very concept of a career. You told senior Barry Platowski, 'We are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.'"

My body may be in Sunday, but my mind is back in Saturday where we just released all the new decks (with zines!), accompanying tees (and others!), the mysterious missing sticker pack (who knows!), and more. Find it all at StrangeLoveSkateboards.com

The full release this weekend includes a hypothetical “What if… ?” sliding door through time and space where @donpendleton.bsky.social was hired by Steve Rocco in 1992. Crazy? Not so much. Buy the ticket (deck) and take the dimensional ride (zine) this Saturday on StrangeLoveSkateboards.com.

Keeping it all in context, this is the follow up ad for StrangeLove that ran in Thrasher. There was one step between this and the other, but I’m simply going one step beyond to avoid any unnecessary confusion. Still confused? Welcome to strangeloveskateboards.com where puzzlement is job one.

Remember the early 90s in skateboarding? We certainly do and knew how much it meant to crack open the new issue of Thrasher and TransWorld to see the latest happenings in skateboarding. Social media has robbed us all of such anticipatory joys. Anyway, here’s a recent print ad or ours in social form:

Picture pages, picture pages. Time to get your crayons and your pencils. Does this ring your bell with a Pavlovian response? If so, ride the wormhole to…

Since 2018 all strangeloveskateboards.com torso sheaths have been guaranteed rapture-ready garments in anticipation of The Day. Prepare thyself!

What once was “skate and destroy” is now “skate and escape.” Achieve spiritual enlightenment not by witchcraft but watercraft on strangeloveskateboards.com

Look. It’s been pretty heavy lately with ignorance and dumb red-lining in severity. (Anyone else remember the old color-coded HSAS? Ah, sweet innocence…) So, come along and enjoy this tale of seafaring stupidity from a kinder, gentler, and simpler time of life in the US of A, circa 1991.

A little of this, a little of that; or, professionally schizophrenic by design, a brief if not slap-dash history of my pen and I.

Listened to the song “Hey Sarah Palin” tonight and instantly became nostalgic for such blissfully simpler times of American ignorance.

More like “Good night, America.”

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Hello, Dali! Take a ride on the surreal side with this latest blacklight beauty.

All that can be stuck should be stuck; or, stick it to the man! All new adhesives now featuring clear vinyl (no space age polymers included).

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Did you know there are StrangeLove terms and conditions? I mean, there’s not but there are, and I don’t mean that in a passive-aggressive way. Or do I? Just the FUQS.

The future is on fire. Fan the flames at strangeloveskateboards.com with these prognosticks by @donpendleton.bsky.social

New Dawn.

What’s the deal with Assholes and Apocalypses… or is it Apocalypi? Although, I guess the word is meant for single usage only, so no need to sweat the plurality thereof. Want to know more (or less)? Read on…

This place seems apropos for singling out one particular apocalyptic rider: Conquest—or, as I’m more syllabically fond of calling it: Con Quest. Celebrate the Farce of July by visiting strangeloveskateboards.com today!

A little something special and apocalyptic for ye olde 4th of July, albeit with “Four Assholes” putting their spin on the fabled Four Horsemen. Available now on strangeloveskateboards.com

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Are you all out of bubble gum? If so, chew on this bit of dystopian brigade. They skate, we sleep!

Big or small, resistance in them all. @idyindivisible.bsky.social #nokings

This weekend presented a unique opportunity to slip this @donpendleton.bsky.social series onto strangeloveskateboards.com #nokings

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

Stick it to the man; or, become an adhesive guerrilla today by ordering this latest sticker pack chock full of @donpendleton.bsky.social designs.

Feelings. Nothing more than feelings. But it’s not what you think. Today’s tease is more about tees than anything else of moral consequence.

I’ve been locked out of my personal IG account by Meta for my own supposed good (some shit about a 2FA riddle I have yet to solve), so here’s a StrangeLove “coming soon” tease from our upcoming collaboration with @donpendleton.bsky.social

Absogoddamnlutely.

A couple years back, I tapped out this post to accompany the annual 420 ritual at StrangeLove. I only mention it now because it’s that release time of the year again, where harvest festivus is taking place on the site in the spirit of dissociative consumerism.

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

The one devastating comedic reality that Musk must wake up to each and every morning on his bed of billions is that all the funny money in the world cannot buy a witty sense of humor.

Portentous shades of R.L. Stine’s “Goosebumps” but “Goosesteps”

Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...
