LR07 - Alex Irvine

Alex Irvine is an Asheville, NC based skater, builder, and artist who has played a huge part in the creation and expansion of the Asheville Foundation DIY spot. His meticulous craftsmanship, creativity, and work ethic are all to credit for Foundation being the unique and organic spot that it is. We spent a lot of time discussing his remarkable accomplishments as a commissioned ceramics artist, and how he has spilled his learnings and experience from his work life over into the skateboarding world. Check out www.alexirvineceramics.com for a primer on some of the wildly impressive pieces he's produced for some big-time clients. He has also assumed the role of designer for the upcoming renovations to Asheville's Food Lion skatepark, acting as a link between the city and the skate community. There's a lot to digest in this one, and I hope his story inspires you all to get busy bringing your own visions into reality.
