Publisher's Synopsis
The release of these two Seen Unknown titles marks the beginning of a new MBP series, edited by Winston Tseng, art director for Enjoi Skateboards. Tseng has worked with some of today's most genre-defying visual artists and designers whose work extends well beyond skateboard culture. From sneaker and apparel design to product packaging, posters, high-profile ad campaigns and fine art galleries, the work of these artists is often recognizable, though their creators' names remain unknown, until now. With S een Unkown , Tseng unifies the diverse range of work by some of his favorite artists, putting it all in once place for readers to enjoy.
In 1989 Marc McKee got his start creating skateboard graphics for World Industries and many of its subsidiaries, like Blind, 101, Menace, A-Team and Almost. Spearheaded by McKee, this era is considered the golden age of skateboard art, whose funny, sexy and offensive graphics were hugely popular then and are considered highly collectable today. McKee was also the editor of Big Brother Magazine during its first four years and later worked on the Blunt Snowboard Magazine , before selling both to Larry Flynt Publications. Today, McKee continues to make art for skateboard companies.
