I was recently able to catch up to filmmaker and producer Mr. Mark Shelton. We had a random convo about his upcoming film project, The New Grind. Mark has definitely been on his grind. In August Mark produced an art exhibition entitled “Decked Out” which heads to the windy city of Chicago this month on the next leg of this nine city tour. Mark has been picking up momentum in the arena of skateboarding. His interest in the sport is taking him across the States and to the continent of Africa. Take a listen to his ideas on why…

Decked Out is on tour now. November 20th you can check out the skateboards and art work of artists Eric Johnson, Cey Adams, Imani K. Brown, Shaymar Higgs, Gerald Watson, Charles Jean Pierre, Bat and the youth of CentroNia. It all goes down at TAG Art Gallery in Baltimore 732 South Broadway. So if you are in B-more check out this exhibition. The DC kick off was hot so surely traveling up the BWI Parkway will be equally so!
