Full Bleed: New York City Skateboard Photography: (10th Anniversary Edition) - Alex Corporan

\nAlex Corporan is a native New Yorker, born and raised in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. His life changed when he started skateboarding back in 1986. His professional career kicked off shortly after. During his skateboarding career, Alex was also a big part of the NY nightlife scene as a curator/writer/photographer, and bar owner. He has put together many art shows and projects for galleries, as well as various magazines and books. Life's trajectory eventually led him to manage a skate shop called Supreme in the mid 90's when it was the only store on Lafayette St. After spending nearly 10+ years running Supreme and creating a movement that has changed what fashion/streetwear has become, he moved to the corporate side of things and headed up the East Coast Marketing team for Etnies (Soletech) for nearly ten years. He is now a Marketing Consultant/Event Planner/Producer for the multifaceted and boundless cultural spiderweb he created in his universe. Currently Alex is a partner and Creative Director at Frank 151. Skateboarding is still the center of his life as he continues to support the scene and the youth coming up within it.\n \nAndre Razo is a multi-disciplinary creator moving freely between art and commerce.
