James Mathers migrated to New York in 1981 at the age of 17 to pursue painting and was noticed by Andy Warhol, who organized Mathers’ first solo show in 1983. Soon, Mathers was showing on both coasts and in Europe. He spent the ’90s as a filmmaker living in Ireland. James returned to Los Angeles and currently resides with his wife and new born baby girl in Topanga Canyon painting, drawing, and writing.

Proceeds from this item will be split with Hella Epic. Hella Epic was honored as our "True Originals" in October. Hella Epic, founded by three high school students, has donated nearly 200 skateboards to children who would not otherwise be exposed to the sport of skateboarding. They believe that skateboarding gives kids an athletic activity to take part in that helps their health and forges a community with other skaters, preventing them from seeking out a brotherhood on the streets.
