Our latest episode of Platemark features the legendary Dennis McNett (AKA @wolfbat ). For 30+ years, Dennis has been carving a path that defies every "standard" artistic rule—building mythic universes out of woodcuts, masks, and massive community spectacles. In this episode, we’re diving deep into art as medicine and how creativity serves as a lifeline for navigating life’s greatest discomforts; the power of the procession and why Viking lore and neighborhood-wide parades are the ultimate form of artistic engagement; storytelling with stakes and honoring cultural heritage through inquiry, permission, and radical collaboration; and creating a mythology and reclaiming ancient lore to fuel a modern creative practice. Dennis reminds us that when you combine woodcuts with a bit of Wolfbat energy, art can transform entire towns. 🎧 Listen to the new episode now!

I made these hand carved trophies for the JLA BANKED SLALOM @mammothmountain there were 9 carved trophies and 52 framed print trophies. The prints were 5 color screenprints. @brandiedziegiel assisted with printing. “ In 2003, the snowboarding community was rocked by the untimely passing of snowboarding legend Jeff Anderson. Mammoth Mountain and the JLA Project are thrilled to continue to keep his legacy alive with a fun day of shredding with Jeff’s friends and family on the mountain he grew up on.” @marketinggoon
