SLUG Holiday Comix – April 2014
Contributor Limelight: Phil Cannon

Contributor Limelight: Tim Kronenberg

Blue Skate
If you’ve ever eaten at the locally famous Blue Plate Diner, you may have noticed that more than one employee is zipping around the restaurant in shoes with blown-out toes.

Skate Photo Feature: Eric Nguyen
Last June, I went out shooting with Eric for the first time. Actually, I think it was the first time we had even met. We found this nice gap Downtown and Eric got right to it, throwing switch heelflips. … read more

Snow Photo Feature: Harrison Gordon
The red, fiery flame of the ginger torch burns bright, and it is my not-so-humble opinion that we should place it in the hands of one Harrison James Gordon. Mark my words, and sleep well knowing a new king will soon be crowned. … read more

Last month was the time of year for another SLUG romp-down to the huge music festival South by Southwest (SXSW) for its 28th year of taking over the Music Capital of the World: Austin, Texas.
