On July 22nd Soulsports PR worked with DC to host an exclusive event at the Maverik Showroom in London to celebrate the release of DC skate photographer, Mike Blabac’s first book, BLABAC PHOTO – The Art of Skateboarding photography. More than 400 guests, including Ryan Smith - DC professional skateboarder, came to support Blabac and view the photo gallery exhibit showcasing 20 years of Blabac’s photography pulled from his extensive collection of work.
Available now, BLABAC PHOTO is the first skateboarding book of its kind featuring 224 pages of iconic images in skateboarding in a beautifully designed, cloth-bound, large format hardcover book. Published by powerHouse Books, BLABAC PHOTO takes you on a visual journey from Blabac’s humble beginnings as a kid who was intrigued by cameras to shooting some of the most legendary skateboarders of all time. Coinciding with the release of BLABAC PHOTO is the Blabac Azure mid, the first DC signature shoe that has been made for a non-professional team member. This shoe was designed to compliment the book and pay homage to Blabac and his work with DC over the past 10 years.
Both the book and shoe are available at www.dcshoes.com/blabac., DC flagship stores, select skate shops, powerHouse, and select book retailers.
Blabac’s London gallery exhibit will be available for viewing at the Maverik Showroom located at 68-72 Redchurch Street from July 23-31. BLABAC PHOTO launched in New York at the powerHouse arena in Brooklyn New York on June 30. The NY exhibit will be available for viewing at powerHouse arena from July 1 – August 2. Other previous tour stops included Los Angeles, Melbourne, Tokyo, and Barcelona. The last stop will be in San Francisco on August 28.
