To know Skin Phillips is to love him. He's been in the trenches with everyone from Gonz to Cardiel to Hensley, around the world, for the past four decades. Now it's time to dive into his archives and celebrate the body of work he's created. Rollersnakes did an incredible job with this documentary and are hosting an epic photo show of Skin's work opening next week. Dive in.

"PHOTO: SKIN

We’re beyond proud to be hosting the upcoming the @skinphoto photo exhibition “PHOTO:SKIN” at @rollersnakes

@funeralforde & @tobybatchelor spent a few days down in Swansea, Wales with Skin himself, carefully curating thousands upon thousands of unseen photos from Skin's golden era archives to display in a brand new, exciting photo exhibition.

The exhibition opens on MAY 9 from 5PM and of course, there will be food, music & skateboarding all night

FREE ENTRY & FREE STANCE SOCKS FOR THE FIRST 75 PEOPLE THROUGH THE DOOR

Proudly supported by the loving folk over at @stanceeurope
