Hello to all who read this,

We are planning a show for March 11th 2006 called "Self Propelled"
the show will be up for at least 3-4 weeks.
Deadline for final pieces will be March 1st

What we are looking for are Artists to paint, pinstripe, draw... on Skateboard decks, Surfboards, Snowboards, Bicycles (beach cruisers or any kind.. even a unicycle if you have one!!), RollerBlades preferrably roller-skates, and push scooters out of old wood and produce crates with steel or clay skate wheels like some of us made when we were kids.... the basis is "Self Propelled" human powered and controlled without the aid of a mechanical power source, so if there is any other type i have left out, let me know.

We are trying to procure the Skateboard decks, Surfboards, Snowboards, Bicycles... from the manufacturers to sponsor the event to lower yours and our cost for the "Canvas" we may just buy them outright either way we or they have to re coop the costs first before the split, so keep that in mind when we price the items, we also want these items to be somewhat affordable. You can also just buy your own blank deck or an old one and sand it down.

Now the last part, after the original sells, the other possibility is to license us the rights to reproduce some of your original art in a screened graphic or laminate to adhere to the "Canvas" in a limited edition run at a significantly lower rate than the original.
Some of you have already agreed to this, and some of you are doing this instead of painting, due to time constraints,
if you already have something you have done that is cool too.

We are also going to build, borrow, or rent a half pipe and 1/4 ramps, and rails for some professional or advanced skaters to show us how it's done in the parking lot. This may also be filming this. Any suggestions or if you know of anyone who has any of these items please let us know. If we build these we are going to donate them to the Tony Hawk Foundation to help out local skateparks.

So please let me know if you want to be involved in this.

We want this to be fun and cool for everybody
