"The only difference between the sistene chapel ceiling and graffiti on a sewer wall is the marketing"

Craig Stecyk and Ed Templeton-Skate life the only life, both men have been interviewed in the latest Transworld Skateboard mag and are living proof that skateboarding isn't a sport. Craig was instrumental in the whole Dog Town movement and creative direction and now casts his eye over Juxtapoz magazine which is put out from the same stable as Thrasher Mag as well as creating some works of his own. Ed runs the skateboard brand Toy Machine and also creates a lot of fine Art paintings and also has had some books published featuring his photography. The interview is great and worth picking up to get the motivations behind these two artists of different generations. One great quote is this, the activity is the art. Another when discussing graff Craig says "the only difference between the sistene chapel ceiling and graffiti on a sewer wall is the marketing'.

The art above is Craigs and i believe currently for sale.

Here's Eds site
