There is a show quietly sneaking up on us here in LA featuring some great artists and based on two legends. Tony Alva is the original bad boy of Venice’s Dogtown and a godfather of skateboarding, Wynn Miller was the man who photographed him from Day 1.

The Detournements of Wynn Miller is a tribute to both by some of art’s best including the always present Shepard Fairey, Shawn Barber, Greg Gossel, Nate Frizzell and a host more. Each artist will be painting their version of a Wynn Miller photograph. Should be very interesting to see what they come up with.

Plus Fairey, Miller and Alva will all be signing new Obey prints for the show. Get one while they are hot.
