What do you get when you take 500 plain brown paper bags, a stencil, 15 different colors of paint, and some good, old fashioned creativity?
Do you give up?
Okay, I’ll tell you what you get; You get some of the coolest looking S.W.A.G. bags that have ever been handed out at any trade show. Ever!
This year for ASR (Action Sports Retail Trade Show) in San Diego, team ADM Skateboards got our hands dirty. We collectively spray-painted 500 of the coolest looking brown paper bags in order to give out so people to put free stuff them, aka S.W.A.G (stuff we all get). Like snowflakes, no two bags were the same. Some bags were obviously cooler than others, but COOL is subjective anyways. In case you weren’t one of the lucky people to get a custom hand painted bag (instead of the lame ASR sponsored bags that were all exactly the same and looked like they came straight out of a department store), we decided to put a couple of pics up to show the whole process.
However, if you were one of the lucky ones and you are bored and you happened to love your bag enough to snap a picture of it; send it our way so we can add it to our collection of pictures of paper bags.
Check out the video featuring our friends in Boulder, Colorado. Thanks for the footy.

CU art student Austin David Myers would have been 23 this year, but a tragic experimentation with heroin ended his life in December of 2006
“He was only 21 at that point, so he didn’t have his whole map figured out of what he wanted to do, but there was some talk about starting a T-shirt company or graphic design company,” said Ben Myers, Austin’s older brother. “Six months prior to his death he was getting into using skatedecks as a medium.”
Ben was always aware of the potential his artistically talented younger brother possessed, but it wasn’t until shortly after his passing that Ben realized Austin’s true vision.
