Rest in Peace Otis "O" Barthoulameu

Jason Lee shot by O

Rest in peace Otis “O” Barthoulameu aka @otisserie. O was such a multifaceted creative force—shooting what are easily some of the most iconic skate photos of all time (swipe through a few below) in addition to playing in some of the best bands (fluf, Olivelawn [Questionable mini ramp section!], Harshmellow and more), and just being a great character and inspirational personality in our world of skateboarding—from appearing in Ban This with Lance Mountain and Neil Blender, to this April 1995 Foundation ad, to hosting the TWS Awards in the 2000s. Everything O touched turned to gold. Deepest condolences to family and friends, and thanks O for making skateboarding that much radder. — @deadhippie
