Tommy Guerrero, captured in a rare moment when he's not in motion.
Andrew PaynterA member of the legendary Bones Brigade, he co-founded Real Skateboards in 1990. He still works with the company, and also does graphic design for Krooked Skateboards.
And he's a musician — a one-man groove factory with beats and bass lines ready-made for the streetscapes of skate culture.
The multi-talented Guerrero clearly doesn't like to be put in a pigeon hole. And he tells Andrea Seabrook his music — including his new CD, From the Soil to the Soul — won't fit neatly into any one category, either.
