Making it as an artist in Richmond isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s not just about talent—plenty of talented people are waiting tables, working construction, or stuck in uninspired design gigs. The real challenge is figuring out how to move from hustling for a...
Gaia finished up his piece on the corner of Rowland and Main St. today. You might recognize this wall from an earlier post during the RMP that showed an outline that had been started by local tattoo artist Jesse Smith.

As a kid, I used to always get excited when the newest CCS or Eastbay catalog would come in. Browsing through their selection, I’d get excited just looking at the newest stuff from Matix, Diamond, and Nike SB.
