Founded by Steve Rocco (also the founder of World Industries), Big Brother was a skateboarding magazine in the 1990’s. The magazine was notorious for its hilarious written articles and how-to’s, profanity, naughty advertisements, oh, and skateboarding sequences. That infamy ultimately led to the attention of, and sale to Larry Flint (of Hustler fame) in the late 90’s. It’s also where several future Jackasses (Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, Jason Acuña (Wee-Man), Chris Pontious, and Rick Kosick) worked at one time, so there’s that too. By far, the BEST source of info on this topic is the documentary ‘Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine‘, which you can and should watch on Hulu.
The purpose of this article is to show some of their art from my scans from my collection of stickers, and some PDF’s made from scans of the magazine which I am not responsible for. However, considering the company is defunct, the magazine is out of print, and back issues cannot be purchased from the original publisher(s), I would at some point like to expand this post to include more complete PDF scans of the issues for preservation and enjoyment. But that will obviously cost some cash and time to do by myself and I think the better strategy is to ask that if you have some issues of Big Brother mag already and a good quality scanner, direct message me on Twitter (@CPXART) and let me know if you’re willing to help out on this.
