Seegull (aka Stephen Brayman) Interview
Seagulls are intelligent, adaptable birds found on every continent, known for their ability to drink both fresh and saltwater, as well as their social and opportunistic behavior. Seegull is very much the same, but replace his ability to drink saltwater with his ability to drink copious amounts of booze while bombing around on board. He got his nickname squawking on sessions all over the country, and I don’t believe plans on slowing down. He’s 100% skateboarder. Half effort does not produce half results. It produces no result. Continuous work and hard work is the only way to accomplish results that last. And Seegull lives 100% by that mindset. – Elijah Akerley

Wicked Lady – Olivia Jaffe Interview
With an unbelievably old, ripped up, Motörhead shirt on, the sickest pair of leather boots you’ve ever seen, a cig in one hand and an archaic piece of technology in the other, comes Olivia Jaffe. Like a spider carefully waiting for the moment to strike, often not disrupting the scene, just hanging in there tight till the time comes, she shoots to kill… dig into her photos and dive head-first into a rock and roll universe you only ever dreamed of before.
