EX SKATE by EXTREME
fall/winter 2008

Board Graphics by Jonathan Edwards

In September 2008 the Extreme Group presented the new board collection EX Skate at the Surf Shop in Exeter, UK. The board brand EX Skate was launched in July 2008. One of the graphic artists of the edgy boards is Jonathan Edwards.

Jonathans work first appeared in the now seminal comic/style magazine for under achievers "Deadline" back in the mid 90’s. Since then he has produced his own comics in the UK, France & America plus he has worked for magazines such as Mojo, Mixmag & Q. More recently Jonathan has supplied record covers for bands as diverse as The Black Eyed Peas, Belle & Sebastian, The Jungle Brothers and Krafty Kuts. His work is inspired by comics, old films, posters, record covers, kids books and other stuff considered “low brow art”. Further details on Jonathan Edwards on www.jonathan-e.com.
