French artist and skateboarder Lucas Beaufort is best known for his colourful and stylistic artwork, not to mention the incredible 2017 documentary Devoted. In addition to creating board graphics for the likes of Almost Skateboards, Sk8 Mafia, Magenta and Zero Skateboards to name a few, his latest epic undertaking is the HEART book, created to celebrate skate shops around the world. It's name coming from his belief that skate shops are the beating heart of every skate scene. And after getting in touch with skate shops across the globe, Lucas spent a year collating interviews with 90 stores, which tells the individual stories of the shops and people behind them that have supported skateboarders and skateboarding for the past 45 years.
