Ed Templeton: Skateboarding Icon and Realism Photographer is an Orange County native and creator of Toy Machine Bloodsucking Skateboarding Company. Influenced from the DIY and punk ethos, Ed has helped shape a culture with his influence of images, writing and photographs since the early 90s. His snub to the corporate echelon and their goal of turning something pure into money making monsters was at the forefront of his art and brand. A giant middle finger to the establishment. Live fast, die young.
