This is really disappointing. Can't imagine Deanna is stoked.

Someone above said Toy went down hill after 2000 and they're right. I think Toy had a place for the alternative/queer/artsy for a while. Great skating/skaters, great aesthetic. Once skating got bigger they got watered down, mostly by their own doing. Ed has never been hands on enough, and quite honestly he was lucky Jamie took the reins when he did.

Interesting to think that Jamie did his best work with them, too, before he pioneered the Hot Topic skating aesthetic.

I mean she's never had a problem with her husband taking photos of naked underage girls and boys soooooooo. I've chalked Deanna up as a pedophile apologist just as i have Dirtbag P.

[close]

sources? i’ve always held the tempster in pretty high regard but this would be a dealbreaker!!!!

Perhaps a 90-page book of photography exclusively featuring children kissing each other entitled "Teenage Kissers" is a deal-breaker for you? I mean, it should be.

Ugh. My point is that even if there isn't a known example (and there may be) of Ed taking pictures of nude children, a published book exclusively containing pictures of children kissing eachother demonstrates substantial creepiness. You should find it problematic and maybe adjust your deal-breaker threshold.

how did you feel about the movie kids

i’ve never read or cared about teenage kissers, but i had a copy of teenage smokers and the artist statement (burnout culture, teenage rule breaking) makes it seem like teenage kissers would be a follow up in the same vain. especially cause teenage smokers it’s what got him art $ in the first place so he knows what people want out of him. i understand where you’re coming from, but to draw the conclusion he’s a pedophile draws just as much on what you believe an adult in that situations motivations would be, not on his.

also, fuck this rapist ass dork and if someone can find me evidence of pedophilia etc i’ll gladly say fuck ed templeton too. but if it’s over what you deem “appropriate art” stick to ty evans vids pleeeez

Jesus Christ lol

So is Wes Anderson a pedophile too? He had children kiss in a film. They were clothed but apparently you can just say they were naked if you want and people are expected to believe it and if not they're a pedophile apologist?

Don't bring Ty into this, unless you want expansive red camera drone shots of kids kissing.

Bump because Toy Machine has definitely been selling these boards over the past few weeks.

I wonder what Dan Lu thinks of this? He seems like the last person that would be promoting a charged rapist. I get that Dan Lu doesn’t control the release/sale of the boards, but having your name/signature connected to that predator seems like a really risky move to his rep/career. This whole thing stinks.

And just a reminder that creep was charged in March, and was scheduled for trial in August (delayed due to COVID) so this isn’t a case of we didn’t know/too late. Toy is digging their own grave on this one.
