éS + Adrian Blanca!

éS is proud to host a traveling exhibition of artwork showcasing the talent of Spanish artist, Adrian Blanca, in support of his current collaboration collection of footwear and apparel. Over a two month period, original Adrian Blanca art pieces; including one-off skate decks, sneakers and a very special "live" performance from Adrian at each location, will feature in specially selected locations around Europe. Famous skate boutique Street Machine in Paris will play host to the first leg of this tour, which will move on to the following five bustling cities: London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Antwerp.

Adrian first picked up a skateboard in the mid-'90s, and this love for skateboard culture can be seen in his incredibly intricate drawings that he has created over the years for a number of influential magazines and prominent galleries in Europe. A true fan of éS for years--in particular the all-white Accel, which he has used on numerous occasions as a canvas for his art--it came as no surprise that Adrian chose to launch his collection with the Accel TTL and TT Deluxe.

For a sneak preview of his forthcoming collection and the chance to see Adrian at work "up close and personal," we would like to invite you to attend one of the events taking place in your city this summer. Friday, July 25, Barcelona Trust Nobody. Friday August 1, AmsterdamArrival Departure. Wednesday, August 13, Stockholm Oneoff. Friday, August 29, Antwerp Fish and Chips

A huge congrats also goes out to éS flow rider Lacey Baker, as no one else in the Girls contest even came close to what she threw down. Hardflip and tre flip down the Carlsbad gap, nose manual and noseslide nollie heels out, rail tricks galore...just too much to name, and it couldn't have happened to a better girl. Way to go, Lacey!
