Whether he’s skating ledges, playing the piano or chilling in the pool on his “Crucifloat”, Stefan Janoski follows the same effortless approach.

Skate photographer, filmmaker and artist, Thomas Campbell, brings that creative spirit front and center in his short documentary, ‘Everyone Hates Poetry’ highlighting Stefan’s sculpture, songwriting, painting and beyond. Nike SB caught up with Thomas recently about meeting Stefan almost 20 years ago in the garage of a punk house in San Diego, the permanence of bronze and why failure is important to both art and skating.
