Ed Templeton turned pro in 1990 and founded the skateboard company Toy Machine in 1993. Alongside skating he has built a long career as an artist and photographer, with gallery representation at Roberts Projects in Los Angeles, Tim Van Laere in Antwerp, and Nils Staerk in Copenhagen.

His feature in Issue 02 runs six pages, with a portrait by French Fred (Fred Mortagne).

French Fred, also known as Fred Mortagne, shot the Ed Templeton portrait that runs with The Long Practice in Issue 02.

Dr. Krystal Monique Toney is an environmental scientist. She founded Black in Nature, and she has written two books for young readers, The Fascinating Bug Book for Kids and My Awesome Field Guide to Bugs.

Her Issue 02 feature, “Nature Is Lit,” runs as a profile beside a Q&A in her own words.

My connection to it is older and stronger than those moments of fear.

Diego Osuna Rodríguez is a Mexico-based photographer and telecommunications engineering student. His creative work focuses on 35mm film, mountain landscapes, alternative home development, and hands-on processes. He is currently working on hardware description for digital image capture, connecting image creation from silver halide to digital architectures.

Hiki Reedy works across graphite, charcoal, acrylic, ink and hand carving, and refuses to be pinned to a single style. Trained in architecture, she builds her own carved koru frames as part of the work, so a blue tā moko portrait sits alongside imagined ghost ships and overgrown glasshouse gardens. Her real subject is authorship: who makes a thing, who gets to change it, and who gets to call it theirs.

She is preparing an exhibition.

At the end of the day, it’s your creation.
