surfers journal

Written by

 

“Elsewhere in this issue, David Carson constructs a set of wet, dreamy illusions from scrap and grahix. Out of the lab that was SURFER magazine in the late 1980s, Carson sprung onto the back of the mainstream avant-garde(oxymoron?) where he succeeded beyond anyone’s expectations but his own. A surfer first beyond other personas, which in his target client New York media circles is a tres chic way to be precieved. Carsons spreads in this issue are more wallpaper installations than article, a stylized homage to his undying passion for wave riding. Even if you look closely, you might guess that its all a scam,
a la Dora, and one well pulled at that. Well, is it, or not?
Not for David. He stands on principle, damn the torpedoes.
-Steve Pezman

FILM PREMIERE

FILM PREMIERE
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007
Screening #1
 
After a year and a half of filming, traveling, editing, and stressing, the World Premiere of Helvetica happened last night at SXSW in Austin. A sellout crowd of 450 packed into the Austin Convention Center for the film and a post-screening Q&A with David Carson and I (below). The audience was great, and although the evening is still sort of a blur for me, from the amount of laughs and applause we got it seemed like everyone really enjoyed the film.
(150 people had to be turned away )
