Mark Gonzales Paints

Finishing Touches — A homemade video by The Gonz of him painting a new piece of art.

A few months ago, skate pioneer and contemporary artist Mark Gonzales showed up at our London office with a head full of mad ideas. The result was One Week, One Show, a twenty-four-hour affordable art show at 71a Leonard St – home of HUCK magazine – featuring work produced in the space of a week.

We then invited Gonz to guest-edit an issue of the mag and he compiled a list of people he digs including badass auteur Larry Clark, punk art baller Raymond Pettibon and artist, skater, writer, ’zinemaker and old skate buddy Jocko Weyland.

A couple of hours after the final story for the mag was filed we received a surprise email from Gonz that included a video of him creating a new piece of artwork – and here it is in full.
