Posted in Uncategorized with tags Askate, autism, New York, skate, skate illustration, skateboard, street wear, therapy on June 29, 2010 by briandinonnoChildren with autism often struggle with the ability to follow directions, play on a team due to the lack of social skills, and many require activities to be performed on their own terms. Skateboarding and autism just fit! No team, no coach, rip solo.
The A.skate Foundation is a 501(c)3 non profit that allows children with autism to be a part of our social world through skateboarding. They hold clinics for children with autism at no cost to the families, give grants to children with autism for skateboard gear, as well as promote awareness and educate families about the skateboard industry. Five years ago 1:150 children were diagnosed with autism. Today 1:91 children are diagnosed with autism, 1:58 of those being boys according to the statistics on TACA now.
Here are a few of the things that they do:
- hold clinics nationwide for children with autism at no cost to the families
- give “Grants for Gear” for kids to purchase skateboard gear
- hold fundraisers and events to promote our cause
Autism, like skateboarding, can be unpredictable and often times unruly. We embrace the parts of autism that are hard to understand and give these kids an outlet that is free of rules or judgment, and allows them to be social without being “social”.
I am putting some time in to help Askate and bring some skate clinics to NY. I am also looking in to put together some sort of event/fundraiser to raise money for the foundation and spread awareness. If you would like to help in any way please contact me or Askate.org. As a skater for well over 15 years and a father, this is a cause I am fully behind.
More to come!!
Mr.Agenda

Posted in Uncategorized with tags Apparel, Art, bmx, graph, Illustration, maloof money cup, New York, owl, reaper, skate, skate illustration, streetwear, surf, surf illustration, t-shirt, tshirt on June 12, 2010 by briandinonnoI am dropping a few designs I printed up for the summer this weekend. I based it around a theme of “Reaping Black”, the meaning behind that name was because of an idea I had to do “biker” themed graphics. That idea obviously changed when illustrations took a left turn instead of staying the course. I dig the results anyways and decided to keep the name cause it sounds kinda cool to me (yea, im a dork). Take a look at them below. I am also going to print some ladies tees and tanks. There will also be some limited artists “collab” (god I hate that word) tees in July if all works out.
All tees will be $15 bucks and available at www.exc.bigcartel.com. Hope ya dig’em!
Theres also some skytop flicks from last weeks Maloof Money Cup, here in Queens NY. They were taken on my Iphone so quality isnt that great. It was good to see all the big time pros not land a damn trick. But P-rod, Cole, Pudwell, and Shane O’neill killed it, they are freakin’ machines!
The new park at FMP is sick, cant wait to hit it up.
Give a hoot

Been trying to put together an owl tee for some time right now. It came out pretty cool, tried to add a lil biker element to it, like something you would see on a bikers patch. Should have these printed up in a week or two and will be available at the EXC shop.

Posted in Uncategorized with tags Apparel, Art, Baseball, dragon, graph, Illustration, Mets, New York, NY Baseball, NY Mets, skate, skateboard, streetwear, surf, t-shirt, tshirt on June 9, 2010 by briandinonnoI threw together a few illustration for a friend who owns and operates The7Line.com. Its an apparel company based around the NY Mets. In his words its “Putting clothes on your back that you’ll never find in a Modells or Mets retail store”. As a YANKEE fan, drawing up some satire met designs wasnt that bad, and the end result was pretty funny. Can never go wrong with the ’86 team that was all about Babes, Booze, & Drugs. Anyways these 2 designs I drew up plus many more are available at www.the7line.com.
GO YANKEES!!!!
