TheDeafWord: Danny Garcia Interview

TheDeafWord: Danny Garcia Interview

  I had a few words with Danny alongside the Balmorhea Interrogation interview I did over at The Berrics surrounding Colin Kennedy’s great video (check it out below) and we got to talking some more. Danny’s solo project, “Reverend Baron” is definitely something to keep your ears open for, don’t let his modesty sidetrack you. Talk...
TheDeafWord: Ben Powell and Andy Horsley Interview

TheDeafWord: Ben Powell and Andy Horsley Interview

Two hundred (and now one) issues. Wow. At the beginning of the landmark issue these guys insisted on not being featured. They believe it isn’t about them, it’s about the skateboarders, for us. Still, best to catch up with them, hear the story from the beginning, talk the forum and discuss all things right and...
TheDeafWord: Conhuir Lynn Interview

TheDeafWord: Conhuir Lynn Interview

Two tenners, a now almost gone (but never forgotten) spot and a style inspired by a local legend.

TheDeafWord: Matt Price Interview

TheDeafWord: Matt Price Interview

Unknowingly making a satanic mockery of the Japanese culture, to the initial wrong interpretations of Fred Gall’s character, as well as Mike Anderson’s happy bloody smile. We caught up with Matt Price to hear some tales from behind the lens. He received the greatest kind of compliment you can get from Spike Jonze, and rightly...
TheDeafWord: Oliver Barton Interview

TheDeafWord: Oliver Barton Interview

Spotting differences between continents, being gracefully bestowed cameras that hold skateboarding history, to the breaking point of JJ Rousseau.

Enjoy – Interview by Stephen...
TheDeafWord: Paul Shier Interview

TheDeafWord: Erica Yary Interview

TheDeafWord: Erica Yary Interview

Many of you probably shamefully remember our interview with Robert Brink a while ago because you scrambled for your phones and tried to call Erica Yary only to be severely disappointed (and fairly degraded).

TheDeafWord: Moose Allain Interview

TheDeafWord: Moose Allain Interview

In all honesty I can’t remember why I followed Moose Allain on Twitter, and I had been following for a long time before I realized he was an artist. I decided I wanted a logo and look for The Deaf Lens and while I can draw, I haven’t in seven years. It wasn’t laziness that...
TheDeafWord: Templeton Elliott Interview

I’m originally...
