Brian Delatorre is a professional skateboarder, photographer, and Britxon ambassador based in San Francisco, CA. Know for his street photography, Brian started shooting photos in New York in his early twenties and regularly cites the similarities between photography and skateboarding. Brian applies what he’s learned from years of skating to the camera – he’s often looking for skate sports but is also looking for good lighting, or little things in everyday world to capture. Ultimately photography gives him the dame feeling, the same high as skating. And he fins both are about the subtleties.
Dolan Stearns is a professional skateboarder, illustrator, and Britxton ambassador based in Lake Elsinore, CA. Known for his unique illustrated creatures and collage work, Dolans art can eb found on everything from a leftover cigarette pack, to an old baseball card, to an abandoned car. Dolan started drawing as a teenager and is constantly experimenting with different surfaces, objects and mediums to keep his art fresh.Over the past few years Dolan has also started tattooing, which has been a new source of inspiration. Thile Dolan views his relationship with skateboarding and art as separate, he is drawn to them for the same reason – the expression and freedom that both allow.
Gaurab Thakali is and artist born in Nepal, currently living and working in London, UK. His work is based on various artists from an impressionist painting to a Miles Davis record.
