Plank is a new skate/art/literary magazine. Issue 1 features so many amazing contributions, all dealing in some way with The Night, including Changsu and his homies’ nocturnal vision of Tokyo (with intro by Keenan Jay) and Matt Price testing the boundaries of abstraction in LA. A career-spanning profile of Heath Kirchart by Sam Korman. Interviews with Cass Lopez and Mark Leckey. Scandinavian survival strategies by Wietse Thomas. Poems by Rosie Stockton, Olly Todd, and Cooper Jacoby. Taylore Scarabelli helms the inaugural edition of “One Leg at a Time,” our pants column (this time about pajamas). Ian Browning tours the disappearing late-night diners of NYC (with photos by Christian Kerr). We’ve got incredible new fiction from Christina Catherine Martinez (smart, bad teens) and Charlie Fox (about a haunted skatepark). Spencer Gillespie gives us the 5 best skate videos to fall asleep to. Lena Greene and Thomas Laprade help a broken skateboard get his groove back in the comic-version of the Tuna Tartar extended universe. Patricio Malagon captures to street dogs of CDMX. Tenko Nakajima joins her stepdad for a bar crawl through Tokyo. The late Barbara Ess captures a paranoid dreamscape at the US/Mexico border. Ted Barrow takes a Benjaminian leap from Shackle Me Not to Winslow Homer. Plus! We got sleep secrets from 20 of your favorite pro skaters, including Arin Lester, Poe Pinson, Jereme Rogers, Karl Watson, Bobby Puleo, Georgia Martin, Ryan Lay, Jim Thiebaud, Nick Jensen, Ariana Spencer, Trung Nguyen, Shari White, Lurker Lou, and more!
