Celebrating the history of skateboarding's most beloved interview series, the new Epicly Later'd Book is a must-have for any dedicated skate nerds compiling the very best of the blog that started it all. From its humble origins to its full-scale TV series on VICE, Epicly Later'd is one of the most respected institutions in skateboarding having offered an insight into the lives of its biggest legends. Now, they've turned their attention inwards with this incredible book which offers an evocative and compelling insight into their own origins.
Everybody knows the legendary Epicly Later'd video interviews but, just like all the best things (us included), it all started out as a blog 20 years ago. Way back in 2004, New York-based photographer Patrick O'Dell first started the Epicly Later'd Blog to help document the chaos of the NYC skate/music/downtown scene. Known for its offhand wit, eccentric cast of characters and ahead-of-its-time photo-diary format, the blog proved massively influential in photo, art and skate culture as well as laying the groundwork for the beloved interview series that followed.
20 years after the blog first began, the new Epicly Later'd Book offers an inside look at where it all started with some of the very best images from the original source. Compiled by Patrick O'Dell and edited by Jesse Pearson with an introduction by Amy Kellner, the book comes in a premium hardback cover with 288 full-colour pages packed with iconic photos from the blog, documenting a load of famous faces from skateboarding and beyond between 2004 and 2009.
From skateboarding icons like Brian Anderson, Jamie Thomas and Mark Gonzales; music legends like Motorhead; and countless other famous NYC heads like Chloe Sevigny, the Epicly Later'd Book showcases the convergence of countless different subcultures with a load of intimate photography that's dripping in nostalgia. Whether you're an avid skate nerd, culture vulture or Noughties fetishist, the Epicly Later'd Book is a coffee table essential that you'll be flicking through over and over again.
