Collaboration Of Skateboarders & Artists
Are you tired of sitting behind your desk, doing what your boss tells you to do? Have you ever considered doing what "you" want to do? This is not about rebelling - it is only about rebalancing yourself. -Finding peace-of-mind - It is about loosening up the tie, doing a Mr. Rogers' shoe trade into some Converse, and then finding your instrument to Independence and self-gratification (whatever the tool). For me, it is either painting, running or skateboarding - hence my idea of COSA.

Come experience the work of 6 individual artists

Grimm Again
There once was a tale to be told, by a Brother, a Mother, or, maybe, someone old: Grimm and Goose, and Aesop labored to deliver messages a mother favored. Now, Grimm Again, we invite you to venture into the "dark wood," to maybe cross the river Styx, to share the company of wolves,to sweep cinders from the hearth, and maybe, just maybe, to live happily ever after.
