The Purveyor of Sin.
What does it mean? Well, the basics are simple. Purveyor means in the simplest form, 'provider' and the sin is the hours I work to define my skills and offer them to those willing to pay for it. It is the best representation of my personal vision for Hydro74.

Hydro74 | MCMLXXIV

Hydro74 is a Orlando based designer, otherwise known as Joshua M. Smith. The soul purpose of my career is to push the boundries in doing what I feel is relevant to the market as well as extract various elements and trends to be able to offer them up in my own personal work. But let's be honest. I do what I love because I love it. Not because I have to do it, nor am forced to do it, but rather passionate about doing what I do. I firmly believe in having set style tones, yet a sense of diversity to make any various project unique to the demands that are set forth.

Type Treaments & Branding

Typography is far more than just a simple addition to a product or brand, it is what sets the tone for the entire piece. Each letter has a way of reacting and uniting to form meaningful, powerful words that embrace a sense of emotion or power. With that knowledge, producing pieces that best represent the needs is what Hydro74 prides itself on to help other brands find their identity and voice, philosophically and aesthetically. Apparel Development
Apparel is a amazing medium that is widely embraced by masses to best symbolize one's individuality while conforming to various cliques. This is something I fully understand and appreciate. Even to the point that a close friend & I put on a T-Shirt Gallery Show that grows in attendence and online with each new version that is produced. Apparel is everything that is meaningful in design because it is a common bond everyone shares and voices our most inner feelings without having to openly state it each and every time we speak. It is the true cog in the wheel of conformity that allows us the illusion of individuality and our own personal choice to be unique in this very common world. Illustration
.

Complexity and a fluid organic approach is what is highly valued in each and every piece. A Illustration to me is something that tells a story with out words needed. It builds a bond with the viewer who will either get it, or find it horrible, yet, the interaction is what is desired when doing a piece. Some Illustrations are trend based iconic structures meant to embrace the masses to encourage sales, while others are explorations turned to symbolic ideas on paper or fabric. Illustration is something I find deep meaning in.

Don't be a lazy ass designer and rip off or live trace my work. Those designers are the pleague of design and should have their fingers broken and banned from the profession.

Scott Lenhardt grew up riding at Bromley, the mountain resort founded by Fred Pabst, of Pabst Blue Ribbon. He played bass for ten years in Vermont's best mediocre rock band, Butt Pie, and is the inventor of the highly difficult, and incredibly underrated snowboard trick, the McWindmill. Scott's talent, and ability to paint using ridiculously small brush strokes, has been recognized and commissioned by Burton, Nike, Adidas, Mountain Dew, and Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio. Scott has two nicknames. One is Skipper. The other has to remain a secret.

Adam Haynes started painting on wood when he stumbled across some old trophy plaques at a junk store and took them home because he liked the shape of them. After a while, he found he liked painting on recycled surfaces, with their character, their worn panels, chipping colors and old stories. Haynes paints like you would on a computer: flat, building depth and space through layers of color, no blending allowed. Only you can't get texture like that on a computer.

Born and raised in the foothills of the central Oregon Cascades, Adam gained an early appreciation for rural living and the great outdoors. Although primarily a freelance commercial illustrator, he likes to balance things out by painting original pieces that explore the interaction between nature and human encroachment. His work is heavily influenced by his travels and wanderings throughout the Pacific Northwest mountain ranges, forests, and deserts.

Adam is based in Bend, Oregon, has shown at galleries in LA, Portland and Seattle, and stays busy with illustration projects for Nike 6.0, Adidas, Merrell, Gnu, Grenade, Fuel TV, ESPN, and Tonka.

Corey Smith is a painter, sculptor, and photographer from Portland, OR, who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA. His paintings and photography have appeared in countless print magazines and online sources. His works have been shown in galleries across the country, including Upper Playground (Portland, OR), Versus (Los Angeles), On Six (San Francisco), KCDC (New York City), and the Orange County Museum of Art.

Smith's high-gloss, ultra-flat paintings capture the joys of plasticity and pre-fab environments, celebrity as the ultimate blank canvas, and the absurd hyperboles of modern leisure. But rather than repackage the manufactured world into an aestheticized form-a la post-Warholian Pop-Smith favors a post-Pop approach that brings into day-glo focus the dark vision at the corner of the spectator's eye. The paintings find their subject in the tension between the works' fatalistic undercurrents and the celebratory aura created by Smith's use of bold color and bright-lined contour.

His sculptures and mixed media works develop some of these same themes, but rather than map plasticity onto flat canvas, Smith instead maps flatness onto plastic forms-whether by painting across arrays of commercially molded objects or by making use of the naturally deflective precision-cut panes of modern machinery.

Smith's photography develops some of the same themes as his sculpture and painting-surface, extremity-but abandons ironies for a more intimate perspective. Most of his subjects are close friends or lovers, and Smith documents them at points where excess bleeds either into empathy or its impossibility, and where the romance of abandon intersects with abandonment.

His works are a Death Valley realism, infused with both sunny Californian optimism and morbid premonition. This is awful, deeply wrong, utterly fantastical stuff-a distillation of a time, a place, and a generation that are always already beside themselves.

Mike Parillo's first artistic tool was not a paintbrush, it was a shovel. Back when most of us were still falling-leaf heel sliding down bunny hills (or skiing), Parillo was hand crafting snowboarding's first serious terrain parks. From the depths of his imagination, demented shapes and forms were called forth and sculpted into mountains of snow for the leaders of the new school nation to play on. And so it was that the style of snowboarding made a great evolutionary leap, using Parillo's bold inventiveness as a launching pad.

One of the innovators from this early scene, snowboarding legend Jamie Lynn, inspired Parillo to try his hand at painting. Jamie then used one of his first pieces as a graphic for one of the boards in his Lib Tech pro-model series. Volcom used another in their landmark video, The Garden. And the rest, as they say, is history. Parillo has been a creative force, working quietly behind the scenes, ever since. His paintings have been shown in solo shows from Europe to California. His art has been displayed on snowboard bases every year since 1995, adorning many beloved board series like Lib Tech's Emmagator line, Terje's Balance line, Burton's early Customs, and Travis Rice's 2006/07, 2008/09, and forth coming 2010/11 pro models—to name a few.

Parillo now serves as Asymbol's Art Director and Artist Liaison. He is the curator of the entire Asymbol art collection, and is responsible for overseeing the integrity of the art reproduction process. His mission is to ensure that all printed pieces hold up to each artist's highest standards of quality before they get passed on to you.

Jamie M. Lynn is one of the most universally respected, iconic snowboarders of all time. His influence can be seen everywhere in snowboarding, from the way we ride, to the way we think about the art that covers our boards. In the early nineties he brought a power and style to riding mountains that directly shaped the direction and nature of the sport's evolution. Drawing inspiration from skate legends like Neil Blender and Mark Gonzales, he was the first snowboarder to create his own graphics for his pro-model board, and continues to do so to this day. His artistic aesthetic has influenced countless young, aspiring artists over the last two decades.

Jamie is a creative force, no matter what the instrument, be it paintbrush, snowboard, or guitar. A true son of the Pacific Northwest, he is a soft-spoken man with a humble spirit and a huge heart. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
