The skateboard industry has many behind the scenes people. From photographers to the makers of the graphics and web site monitors to company owners there are a variety of folks lurking in the shadows. Bob Kronbauer has been one of those folks for a while now, wearing many hats and doing a variety of jobs. As one of the original personalities of Crailtap.com his odd humour in the Daily Randoms helped set the tone of what we now come to expect from that site. Working at Girl he made graphics, slept under the desk, dreaming away the hours for his Nordic home of Vancouver and helped with various projects and production. He started an online zine called Crownfarmer that then developed into a clothing company. Over the years it continued but things happen and it went the way of so many art based clothing companies. Never one to stay still for too long he published a photo book, started Mumble Magazine (another online identity), got married and even helped to grow a small human inside a woman.
That was then, this is now. The kid came out (it’s a boy), the Magazine has morphed into a Club, Crownfarmer looks to be on the comeback trail and to add to all of that he is now the executive director of a non-profit organization, VancouverIsAwesome.com. With another book in the works, the next Honoris Proffisio to be given out soon and his next instalment of the Little Giants film series (featuring Michael Leon) due soon Pappy Kronbauer will be a busy old man for the coming months.
