Mike Blabac celebrates 20 years in the game

Coming this July, legendary skate photographer, Mike Blabac will release his first book, Blabac Photo - The Art of Skateboarding Photography.

The book will contain a large portion of work from Mike's extensive 20-year career. Available through PowerHouse Books, the hardcover book will contain 224 pages spanning Blabac's beginnings through to  shooting some of the most legendary skaters of our time.

Contributors to the book are some of skateboarding’s most respected photographers, editors and icons, including J. Grant Brittain (Director of Photography, The Skateboard Mag), Dave Swift (Editorial Director, The Skateboard Mag), Jake Phelps (Editor, Thrasher), Scott Johnston (Shoe Designer, Lakai), Aaron Meza (Visual Media Marketing Manager, Girl Skateboards), Ken Block (Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer, DC), Skin Phillips (Editor-in-Chief, TransWorld SKATEboarding), and many others.

In celebration of the publication of Blabac Photo and Mike Blabac’s work with DC (he's been DC's staff photographer for the past 10 years), DC Shoes will be releasing a limited-edition shoe, available exclusively at skate shops this July.

The shoe will feature photo-printed insoles and other unique touches, as well as a signed Blabac photo print in a limited number of boxes. The shoe is especially notable considering DC’s reservation of signature shoes being exclusively for its top pros.

The Blabac Azure Mid (pictured) is the first time a DC signature shoe has been made for a non-professional team member. Looks like Blabac's down. Is there a DC ring around his finger?
