BALTIMORE LOTH, KNOWN AS BALTI, IS AN ARTIST FROM MONTREAL WITH A UNIQUELY ADVENTUROUS APPROACH TO LIFE. FROM HIS DISTINCTIVE SKATEBOARD AND SNOWBOARD STYLE, TO HIS SKETCHBOOK ART AND AMBITIOUS ART PROJECTS, TO HIS SKILLS IN BUILDING TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES FROM SQUAMISH SCRAPYARD FINDS, BALTI EMBRACES LIFE TO THE FULLEST.

OUR RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR BALTI REALLY STRENGTHENED WHEN IN 2010, WE WITNESSED BALTI AND HIS FRIENDS HAULING A MASSIVE HANDRAIL THROUGH THE STREETS OF MONTREAL, UNSCREWING CITY FIXTURES TO CREATE
'GNARLAND'-THEIR SECRET SPOT ON MONT ROYAL FOR SHREDDING AN EPIC RAIL GARDEN ALL WINTER LONG. IT WAS A PLACE FILLED WITH 'GOOD SOUVENIRS'.

WE GREATLY ADMIRE BOTH HIS ARTISTIC TALENT AND THE PERSON HE IS. WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY AROSE TO COLLABORATE, IT WAS AN EASY DECISION TO PARTNER WITH BALTI-A FRIEND OF THE CREW AND AN EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED YOUNG ARTIST. ITS BEEN A REAL PLEASURE SEEING BALTIS PROCESS IN REAL TIME AS WE WORKED TOGETHER ON THIS PROJECT.

WE'RE THRILLED WITH THE FINAL RESULT: A SMALL CAPSULE COLLECTION THAT CELEBRATES OUR SHARED ROOTS, EVOKING MEMORIES OF SNOWBOARDING'S GOLDEN ERA WHEN ART PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE IN BOARD GRAPHICS. WE CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE WHAT WE'VE CREATED WITH OUR GOOD FRIEND, BALTIMORE LOTH.
