‘What I Do Yo?’ — A Kevin “Spanky” Long Mixtape | Edit and interview by Farran Golding | Artwork and titles by Kevin “Spanky” Long | Filmed by Justin Reynolds, Kyle Seidler and many of Spanky’s friends
With a constant output of iPhone footage that’s as renowned as his video parts, Kevin “Spanky” Long’s productivity is a thing of wonder. After speaking to Spanky for Closer Issue #2, we rounded up his greatest cell phone hits from over the past couple of years and compiled then into one master tape, complete with some behind the scenes commentary from Kevin on how those mini-movies come together. Pick up Closer #2 for the full interview with Spanky, “Character Witness”, where he discusses his dual role as a pro skateboarder and art director at Baker Skateboarders.
