I’ve been on a rampage of late updating files, merging documents and getting the framework of this site more “searchable” for search engines. In addition, I have a fresh install of WordPress, and have uploaded new posts from two smaller blogs from early 2002-2004 mostly concerning skateboarding and the transition to living in San Francisco. Formerly this was know as the “Market Street All-Stars” blog. Now it exists as a page on hypermodern.net. Posts from this blog with also be marked in the category skateboarding.

Pete Ippel, the son of a dancer and a musician, was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has been surrounded by the arts since birth. He moved to Morris, Illinois in 1989 and started to participate in athletics rather than dance. After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he received a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001. In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally. Mr. Ippel resides in Working Artists Ventura, a sustainable artist community in southern California. In addition, he teaches art, is a web developer, an active blogger, and still high jumps from time to time. As a passionate problem solver and a pragmatic optimist, Pete’s art and his life are full of exciting challenges. View more posts
