SXA "Hangin' Loose" with Ben Horton

My friend Ben Horton was in town last week to paint the new Republik concert venue / bar. For those of you who don't know who Ben is I'll give you a little background according to what I found out while talking story with him. Ben is originally from San Luis Obispo but now resides down in San Diego. He and Russ Pope were a 2 man operation together running Scarecrow Skateboards. From there Ben went on to be the design director for Black Box Distribution (Zero and Mystery) all while running his own company Slave Skateboards. For the masses you may also recognize his art from the many contributions he's made to the RVCA Artist Network Program. Aside from art he's also a proud husband and father to his 2 boys. All in all Ben's a super rad no nonsense guy who is doing things on his own terms and living the dream.
