NEW DEAL 30

Towards the end of the '80s the skateboarding industry was in a heavy state of evolution; the Big Three were getting their legs sawed off by the raw talent of skateboarders themselves becoming insanely talented artist, manufactures and entrepreneurs. A trio of uprisings were plotting their future and ushered in the New Deal: Andy Howell, Steve Douglas and Paul Schmitt had their own idea of what a skateboarding company should be, feel and look like.

The trio were all forging their respective paths in the skateboarding world, both on and off the board: Andy as an artist, Steve on the business side and Paul pressing boards. Three storms came together, and uprooted the industry. Over the passing years, all three gents reigned supreme in their chosen disciplines. New Deal forged a path of thrusting talent, art, and business forward with a run in the industry that will never be forgotten.

One nite the storm touched down once again: Subliminal Galleries was overrun with passion. The walls of the gallery and the Hollywood Blvd streets were filled with skateboarding royalty paying tribute to the relaunch of an iconic brand and group of skater that forever changed the future on modern-day skateboarding.
Andy, Steve, and Paul: thank you.
