I marked the tenth episode of the Looking Sideways podcast by welcoming legendary UK skateboarder Peter Hellicar to the show. Pete is a skater, company owner, designer, artist, musician, thinker and all round creative powerhouse who first came to prominence in the late 80s/early 90s UK skate scene.
Since then, he has gone on to have a long and varied career. He helped set up OG British skate company Unabomber, then headed to the States to work as Art Director of Sole Tech, before returning home where he works today as an established and highly admired artist.
I went to see Pete in Lewes, where we had a hugely enjoyable conversation about art, music, life, creativity, the joy and openness of skateboarding, and much more besides.
It was a brilliant, wide-ranging chat with a great conversationist and somebody who has lived a fascinating life and career. Thanks for doing the show Pete, and big thanks to legendary skate photographers Kevin Banks, Wig Worland and Donovan Pennant for the pics.
Thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.
