French artist Lucas Beaufort's is on a PBR-sponsored tour for his book HEART, which celebrates the history of skate shops and features the landmark Colfax location.
grew up worshipping skateboarding, with cramped skate shops serving as his churches. When his career as a painter, illustrator, designer and photographer took off, he didn't stray far from those early canvasses of polyurethane and concrete, becoming a world-renowned creator of art for skate parks, board designs and active wear.
So I decided to make a book, paying a tribute to forty years history of skate-shop culture. I did everything in my place - I didn't travel for this. It was emails, phone calls...took me a year. ... sold out very quickly and then a year later I was like,"What can I do now?" I was like: Cool, now I'm able to travel. Let's go all around the world and meet all the skate shops that are involved with the book.
I'm very aware of what's going on, who's doing what, so I already have a lot of connections. ... I reached out to some skate magazines from different countries — from Italy, from Brazil, from Germany — to help me to decide. And again, there ninety skate shops that I feature in the book, but it doesn't meant that the rest are not good. It's just that I can't make a book that is like, five-thousand pages. So I had to pick some.
