We call Ed Templeton the “(Sub)Culture King” this month, but he’s also the “New California King,” an artist and culture maven who defines what makes the state and its people unique. In the great tradition of Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari, Barry McGee and Margaret Kilgallen, Ed has reimagined the West as a place of both possibility and an end, where the Pacific Ocean defines a dream come true and the assurance of starting over.
There is Ed the skate legend, skateboard graphic artist, the skate brand owner; there is Ed the photographer and documentarian, and the collaborative duo with wife, Deanna. There is Ed the zine maker as well as artist with countless books to his name. Of course, there is Ed the painter.
