‘DEVOTED’ DOCUMENTARY — Latest From LB Project’s Lucas Beaufort
Lucas Beaufort, the artist known for his distinctive skate mag embellishments and as the founder of LB Project, has been hard at work on DEVOTED—a new project highlighting the future of print-based skate media. Traveling to Europe, the U.S., and Australia to meet some of the most influential names in skateboard media [The Berrics and The Skateboard Mag are featured], Beaufort is taking a keen interest in tracking what a realistic future for print will look like.
“I decided to pay a tribute to people who spent their lives documenting skateboarding,” Beaufort says. “The writers, photographers, and brands [that] built it all together for over 30 years now.”
DEVOTED focuses on three key periods: the ’90s through 2000; 2000 through the present; and a projection for print media in the next ten years. DEVOTED is coming in summer 2017, check out the trailer here.
