The Mang Blorg

Kidmang shows how to ollie on a skateboard. Here are a few of his tips for developing a good ollie:

• Do super fast small ollies for balance and control.
• Don’t practice stand still tricks. You can develop bad habits and balance.
• Don’t crouch down too much. You need only bend down slightly.
• Don’t try to do huge ollies all the time.
• Stay relaxed and keep it easy.

I submitted this drawing into the NYU Art Show. It will be on display at the NYU Kimmel Center 8th floor through early June 2010. Medium is pencil on 20″ x 40″ canvas board. Will post a high res version once I get it back from the art show.

Kidmang is really awful when it comes to academics. Ms. Wendell threatens to have a teacher parent conference- something Kidmang is terribly afraid of because it will reveal he has no parents and consequently may get him kicked out of school where his friends are.

Aaron Mattern snapped this photo of Kidmang at the Double Down Saloon in Las Vegas, Nevada. Looks like a nice place to get smashed out of your mind!

Custom Mang skateboard made for the Hasbeen Design Deck the Walls show. It was the first board sold at the show! Below are closeups of the various scenes.

Baby girl, Oona Senft is helping find kidmang. Hehehe that’s pretty cute.

Officials are still on the lookout for our missing hero.

Kidmang has gone missing! He was last seen being chased by a group of ninjas. If you have information on his where-abouts, please contact us. You can help by posting these stickers in your neighborhood.

Kidmang learns street skating under the tutelage of Juanh Ramirez. He learns to let go of his pain and be more aggressive on his skateboard.
