Based in East London, and having been making Zines, T-shirts and Printing skateboards since 2001, Lovenskate is a true representation of what we love about Skateboarding – all aspects, the enjoyment, the creativity, the exploration and the dedication.
This should just about explain everything…. Presenting, ‘The Connoisseur of Quality’,
As part of ‘The Working Artisans Club’ exhibition Huck Magazine made this little piece about the production of our graphics, and the need for skateboarding!
In this episode of Brain Drain we discuss alien conspiracy, the history of Lovenskate, screen printing boards, making zines, Metallica, biscuit tax, the rise of board prices, collaborations with Carhartt, Lucys first pro model, white dipped boards, net worths and much more!
Will ISIS get us? how did we print our first board? Where the ‘Drink Tea, Get Rad’ logo came from? Why are we happy to spend hours creating designs just to have them destroyed… ?!?!?!
Lovenskate’s Stu Smith gave lecture at the Art Workers Guild and reveals all.
