Skateboarder artist Steve Olson. Is someone I have always admired. In fact, for a time I rode his board at Skatopia.
Some 20 years later I shot a skate picture of Steve in Venice. And during that session, we might have said 5 words to each other. But more on that later.
Although my Steve Olson contact was short. I do remember one thing about Steve. And that is his presence. In the first place he is funny. And he is quick. In addition he is gone fast.
At the present time he still seems the same. He skates, surfs and makes art for a living.
As for Steve’s art. I remember seeing the painting he shared in this podcast. And I recall liking it. And the work was over my head. I couldn’t process it. Later after our conversation. I woke up and the first thing I thought of was his painting. Further, I didn’t have a precise remembrance of the art. More like residual feeling from it. Which has never happened to me?
Finally, I hope you enjoy this conversation. In fact our second talk. A podcast with skateboarder artist Steve Olson.
