A D.I.Y DOCUMENTATION ON THE MAKING OF ANIMAL FARM || NOW AVAILABLE 

Written by Ivan Gorgievski and Documented by David Lobb 

recently, a couple of friends and i built a few crappy little objects and transitions for ourselves too skate. as these builds became more and more, the site became known as the 'Animal Farm', due too many different inside experiences with wildlife of all kinds during construction. along with the whole do it yourself spirit, we really set out with no real idea what we were doing or how to even build with concrete, but i think we did alright. although what we built is terrible to most who dare skate it, slowly eroding from harsh weather and local hoons and is under the constant threat of extinction from authorities, it will be the experiences that we had that will stand the tests of time. the 'Animal Farm' is mearly a symbol of accomplishment for us; starting out with no experience at all with building and finishing with what resembled us, as a group of friends/skateboarders, the idea of a good time.

ANIMAL FARM // D.I.Y ZINE // COMING JUNE 2013


I'll start off this new blog by saying 'hello friends', my aim in this blog is too display my works, writings and projects with those who kinda want to know about them. I think i'll post extra photos and art from my zines here, creating a digital gallery if you want too call it that! Here i have attached my latest project, it follows the creation of our (a couple of friends and i) d.i.y skate spot. For this issue, i asked one of my friends who helped build this concrete haven, Ivan Gorgievski, to write a little story on the whole process. Ivan is an extremely talented writer, poet and sad boy who i'll deffinatly collaborate with some more in the near future! More info on the zine coming real soon, until then thanks for even looking at this!
