Tour Diary: Check out Images and Videos from Dennis McNett's U.S. Wolfbat Tour

Dennis McNett has been involved in the skateboarding art scene for years, and has shown at galleries around the country. His work often involves help from University students and volunteers from around the country, and sometimes ends with purposeful destruction, fire, and an enormous crowd unified in laughter. Dennis wrote us:

"I just got back from a 3 month tour of 10 places across the United States. I did a performance or parade at each stop with local students, artists, wolfbats, etc. This adventure involved sacrificial burnings, fortune telling pinatas, overrun streets, metal bands, trains, ufo's, chupakabras, viking ships, and blood ice castles."
