Im not positive, but I think he's a grad student there, not a professor, and is a T.A. so he does teach some classes to under grad students.

Yeah John went to Glasgow Uni for a degree in i think Astro-physics or something like that, that's why he delayed turing pro on Blueprint to begin with, then joining Zero until he was finished at Uni, he wants to teach (possibly) after he's done skating

I thought Frankie Hiil went on to Dentist school as well, i remember an interview with him saying after he fucked his knee's and Powell ditched him, he had shit loads of debt in medical bills, thought fuck it i'm in debt already the only way to get out it more debt and some medical profession. . .

Well, still pretty close, do you know if he's still skating and if he still has his portable fly off ramp with him, man he was an all time favorite who's just never mentioned, a total legend that just disappeared

Post by: Self-Educated on August 25, 2006, 10:42:36 AM: Frankie had a photo in The Skateboard Mag awhile ago ollieing into a bank over some bar in Barca. He skates for tail devil now or some shit.

He definitely pioneered going huge on street and the OG bulldog board was sick. I wish him luck in his career, but I don't know about that Tail Devil stuff....

Post by: ctsskate on August 25, 2006, 12:32:28 PM: I think alot of it depends on whether you get a fine arts degree or if you end up with a something else besides that. To me, fine arts degree says either starving artist or art teacher.

I lost track of him in Atlanta. I'd like to know what became of him because he was/is one of the coolest guys I've met through skateboarding.

I think their work progress from doing crits, sharing studio space with others, plus they need to learn the language of the art community. And where you go to school has something to do with the gallery that'll pick you up, networking, and there's always someone in the studio to smoke weed with

But I don't know, I'm probably not even going to see Art School Confidential
