			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- 		@page { size: 21cm 29.7cm; margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->Desde o ano passado que a Letsevo disponibiliza um de seus shapes de skate para artistas manifestarem sua arte. A série de shapes ainda totalmente virtuais, é uma maneira da Letsevo abrir as portas para futuras colaborações em nossos produtos. A gente vai mostrar pra vocês o trabalho do <strong>Fernando Zanoni (ZA)</strong> que participou do projeto com uma arte super simples porém extremamente forte e alinhada com a filosofia do nosso projeto. Eu preparei <strong>uma entrevista para vocês conhecerem melhor o trabalho e o processo criativo desse artista</strong> de apenas 23 anos, natural de Curitiba, Paraná. Espero que gostem.</p>
<p><strong>(Letsevo)</strong> <strong>Fale brevemente do que faz, você é designer gráfico? Ainda estuda? Quando e onde estudou?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA)</strong> Me chamo Fernando Zanoni, ou simplismente ZA., tenho 23 anos de idade, sou natural de Curitiba PR e estou cursando o último, quinto e derradeiro ano de design gráfico na Universidade Federal do Paraná. Gosto também da atividade de designer, porém tento levar a ilustração meus desenhos e a arte, um pouco a parte da atividade do design. É claro que em muitas vezes, uma coisa encontra a outra mas assim mantenho meu trabalho com os desenhos mais autoral, porém, não seria mal ganhar dinheiro com isso algum dia..</p>
<p><strong>(Letsevo)</strong> <strong>Como foram seus primeiros passos na ilustração?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA)</strong> É difícil saber, mas o primeiro esporro que lembro de ter tomado na escola quando era criança, foi porque eu estava desenhando durante uma aula que nem sei de quê&#8230;Tenho isso desde criança, sempre gostei de desenhar!</p>
<div id="attachment_966" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.lets-evo.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/za-ecosk8-series.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-966" src="http://www.lets-evo.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/za-ecosk8-series.jpg" alt="Arte para o Shape Ecosk8 por ZA " width="600" height="353" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Arte para o Shape Ecosk8 por ZA </p></div>
<p><strong>(letsevo)</strong> <strong>Quais são suas ferramentas prediletas para ilustratar? Quando e onde você trabalha numa ilustração? Tem algum lugar favorito onde gosta de trabalhar?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA)</strong> Cara uso muito papel, tinta nankin, canetas e marcadores! As vezes nem sei distinguir o que é esboço do que é desenho efetivo e final. Não consigo manter por exemplo, um caderno de esboços. Se me deixar eu consumo ele em uma sentada.<br />
E assim, de inúmeros desenhos que eu traço no papel, só escaneio e dou cor no computador, par uns 2 ou 3. Ás vezes uso xerox também pra fazer uns lambe-lambes pra colar na rua. Vez em quando saio pra pintar e fazer grafitti, mas é raro. Não tenho a mesma pegada e traço com o spray&#8230;porisso meu involvimento com a arte de rua e grafitti ta sendo mais através dos lambe-lambes, dae consigo preservar o traço de um jeito que eu gosto.</p>
<p><strong>(Letsevo) O que mais te inspira a iniciar uma ilustração?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA)</strong> Puts, isso varia. tudo acaba sendo inspiração&#8230;vai de um lance ruim a uma coisa banal, e também de uma alegria a um imenso bacanal. Tudo me inspira, mas andar de skate, ver coisas que gosto ouvir música, ter contato com coisas novas sempre ajuda!</p>
<p><strong>(Letsevo) É possível ver uma série de personagens em sua arte, esses personagens figurados em seu trabalho existem no mundo real? Fazem parte do seu dia a dia?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA)</strong> Uns sim outros não. Na verdade, nunca penso em um personagem em específico, tento representar através deles várias coisas e pessoas. Ás vezes eu simplismente sento e desenho. É natural, exceto quando a ilustração têm um briefing ou têm que representar algo em específico, dae é premeditado!</p>
<div id="attachment_976" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 535px"><a href="http://www.lets-evo.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/za-tigre.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-976" src="http://www.lets-evo.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/za-tigre.jpg" alt="Tigre - ZA" width="525" height="743" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tigre - ZA</p></div>
<p><strong>(Letsevo)</strong> <strong>Cada artista trabalha de uma forma diferente. Fale um pouco do seu processo de trabalho. Quando você começa uma ilustração por exemplo, já tem em mente precisamente o resultado que quer atingir ou a ilustração vai evoluindo e se modificando ao longo do seu processo de trabalho?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA)</strong> É mais ou menos como eu expliquei anteriormente. Se existe um briefing, to fazendo algo pra um concurso e tal, eu penso, rascunho escrevo as idéias. se for de livre expressão, dae eu sento e simplismente desenho&#8230;posso desenhar horas e tudo ficar ruim, e no fim juntar tudo e jogar for a.  O importante é desenhar. Quanto à resultados, sei lá, dinheiro é bom e necessário, mas acho que isso deve vir quem sabe com o tempo. Acho que todo artista durante a carreira vai aprimorando seu estilo e técnicas. Acho que isso é natural e inevitável.</p>
<p><strong>(Letsevo)</strong> <strong>Você participou do nosso projeto ecosk8, com uma arte belíssima para os Shapes. Qual a sua ligacäo com o skate?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA) </strong> Cara, minha ligação é de amor incondicional! Ganhei meu primeiro skate com 11 anos de idade, desde então to aê! Ultimamente só consigo andar nos finais de semana e olhe lá, mas o importante é se divertir. O skate influi no meu trabalho..na verdade não só nas ilustrações, mas na vida, num contexto geral! Coisas que eu desenho, músicas  que eu escuto, roupas que eu visto..tudo ta enrraizado no skate. Quero um dia trabalhar junto com o skate. Quem sabe uma marca, produção de vídeos, sei lá, mas quero retribuir isso pro skate. Skate é diversão, e cara, pra mim, é tão arte e expressão quanto desenhar! É incontável o número de skatistas que desempenham funções artísticas e criativas. Todo skatista é um criativo e uma semiótico em potencial. Depois que vc pisa em um skate, você nunca mais ve a formas da cidade sem ponderar se ali você pode ou não andar.Na hora em que aparece a filmagem do senado federal, e aquela cabaçada, comendo um a orelha  do outro, você vai estar se imaginado dando um rolê naquela transição azul.</p>
<div id="attachment_980" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.lets-evo.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/za-skate.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-980" src="http://www.lets-evo.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/za-skate.jpg" alt="ZA " width="600" height="395" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ZA </p></div>
<p><strong>(Letsevo)</strong> <strong>Tem algum lugar ou objeto que você ainda quer ver sua arte aplicada?</strong></p>
<p><strong>(ZA)</strong> Cara, trabalhar com música, capas de disco, skate decks, ou sei lá, tudo que tenha ligação com coisas que gosto sempre vai ser gratificante. Mas gostaria de trabalhar em projetos editorias, ilustrar livros quem sabe. Tudo é válido, cada situação é um desafio. Quero também, depois que finalizar a faculdade, pq agora tá trash de conciliar tudo, colar mais cartazes e pintar mais de volta na rua!&#8230;e sei lá né, quem sabe a capa da NewYorker. brincadera!</p>
<p>UM abraço ao pessoal da Letsevo e ao pessoal do projeto ecosk8. Iniciativa muito massa.<br />
É isso!</p>
<p><strong>(Letsevo)</strong> <strong>Obrigado por participar do projeto ECOSK8 com sua arte.  Nós esperamos que muitos se inspirem com o seu trabalho.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just finished out my latest project. A contribution for the DIY (Do it yorself) community. Since I love skateboards I just couldn&#8217;t start anywhere else. Inspired by the amount of waste produced by the growth of consumerism in Europe, specially here in Frankfurt, seen through the weekly dispose of old stuff in the middle of the streets. I wanted to show one way of rethinking the use of old materials in the example of a DIY skateboard.</p>

<p>The idea is simple: Go to the <a href="http://letsevo.com/projects/diy-skateboard">project page</a>, Download the DIY Skateboard Design PDF, Print it out, stick them together over any rest of wood to be recycled, cut, put on some wheels and enjoy the ride.</p>
<p>If you want make your own design, Download the DIY Skateboard Blank PDF (90cm long) and make it happen.</p>
<p>I would love to see some of your creations, so send a picture if you are proud of what you made.</p>
<p><strong>S</strong><strong>tep by step</strong> instructions of the building process can be found<strong> <a href="http://letsevo.com/skateboards/diy-board-from-waste">here</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of the nicest sections of the <strong>skateboard film “Yeah Right!”</strong> (2003) by The Girl Skateboard company. With the help of director Spike Jonze (Adaptation) the film <strong>combines great skateboard action with creative scenes</strong>.  This section along with its awesome music serves as inspiration for me before going skating. Hope it inspires you too.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Tomorrow begins here in Frankfurt the <a href="http://brighttradeshow.com/">Bright Skateboard Tradeshow</a>. Business is going to be done between the walls of the old police building. Other than making money you can expect some great boarding during the 3 days of the fair. Earlier this year, at the Winter version of the Bright, a sick bowl with an insane wallride over the main door was built inside the building. This year there is going to be an additional surprise, a rollercoaster like skatepark at the back yard promising some sweet action. I will try to post some pics of the event so check back next week for that.
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Until then, keep lovin&#8217; .</p>

<p>For those who don´t know yet how the curvature in a skateboard is achieved here is a brief example <strong>how a board comes to its shape</strong>.</p>
<p>Basically a skateboard is made from an uneven (7,9,11) number of wood layers laid between two <strong>CNC molds</strong> (Forms) that hold the positive and the negative side of the board&#8217;s curvature. When laying the <strong>wood layers</strong>, it is important to pay attention to the direction of the woodfibers making sure the they are always <strong>90° in relationship</strong> to the top and bottom layers, this ensures a great deal of stability. Between each wood layer comes a small amount of <strong>epoxy resin</strong> evenly distributed. After giving them 18 hours of pressure we have strong skateboard curvature ready to be cut.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am working on a form for a <strong>new downhill skateboard</strong> with double curvature that should hit the streets in a couple of weeks. I am working on it in my free time and hope to get it ready for my next trip back home in Brasil so it can be <strong>tested by Rio´s finest downhill riders</strong>. </p>
<p>After leaving the <strong>CNC Mill machine</strong> I applied to the forms a layer of &#8220;grundierung&#8221; ( I donn´t know the name of this thing English &#8211; something that makes MDF waterproof) and than a layer &#8220;spritz Harz&#8221; (Resin) and than sanded it to make the surface even. The board is going to be <strong>1,3 meters long</strong> and is intended for <strong>easy carving</strong> down steep streets like the Vista Chinesa Downhill in Rio de Janeiro. <strong>Test riders are welcome</strong>.I am going to be there from the 2nd until the 12th of October. Just send an email.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: courier new">Last year we received a beautiful carbon skateboard deck from a </span><a style="font-family: courier new" href="http://www.puk.tu-clausthal.de/">material research institute</a><span style="font-family: courier new"> in the University of Clausthal in Germany. <strong>Our job was to test it and say what we think of the new board</strong> because those guys from the institute are good in making things light, but they don´t know nothing about riding boards! The riders: <strong>Nico Hopp, Lars Mayer, Simon Schlör and myself</strong> have had lots of fun helping them understanding what was good and what could be better in the board. We made a nice video that was send to the university researchers with images of the board in action together with each riders toughts. The video will be posted soon here in Lets Evo Blog.</span></p>
