HAPPY NEW YEAR
Well, 2009 was a booty-whomp by most considerations, but true to its nature the Land Of Plenty continues to enjoy and promote life and abundance. The LOP was started in 2002 as little more than an idea, but the power of the idea drew from two inexhaustible sources: skateboarding and art. These sources continue to prove that there is no end, no limit, no boundaries to the potential of human beings. As many times as skateboarding has felt burned out, exhausted, crushed, or tired, there has always been some individual who has come through and shown us all how an infinite amount of possibilities exist when minds are opened and hearts are on fire. This is the essence of art- not of limited definitions of commercial or popular art, but something broader- the act of creation, the revelation of something that did not exist before and now can no longer be denied. We are facing a new decade, and the possibilities are as limitless as they ever were. It will just take the inspiration and effort needed to draw them to the forefront of our minds, and our culture. Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way. We will continue our mission, and our love for art, skateboarding, and friends will not be vanquished.
Year of the tiger,

Director, The Land Of Plenty Skateboard Foundation
