Another awesome installment which brings me happy memories from the One Way or Another tour, a traveling art show that involved skating, camping and art.   Click on the image above to watch the video. Filmed, directed, and edited by Corey Adams.

Following the successful first showing in Los Angeles, the crew awakes from a night of after-party excitement and regroups to take down the show they worked so hard to display just one day previous. Nervous and unsure of what to expect, they head east through Las Vegas to find what it was that got them into this in the first place.

Color Magazine along with Machotaildrop Director Corey Adams presents Episode One from the One Way or Another (Artists Who Smell Like Skateboarders) Skateboarding/Art Show.  Various artists working within the skateboarding industry, such as Andrew Pommier, Todd Bratrud, Mark Fos Foster, and Greg PNUT Galinsky, traveled around in a van, setting up One Night art shows in Los Angeles, Kansas City, MO, and Austin, TX.
