Biddy. Biddy. Bop.

This rain is bummin me out. I had a 7 hour shift today that got cancelled due to the wet weather. I really need to figure out a way to get a roof over that amazing skatepark so it doesn't feel like im gettin cold jacked by mister winter. It's really startin to hurt my pocketbook. Oh well. Marginal way is right down the street and always dry so I stopped by this morning and learned a few tricks. Maybe I could just get the city of Mukilteo to build a freeway over the Muk!!! If only if only...
I bet I could make a 3d model of the Muk in Maya with a roof over it and pitch the idea to big companies like red bull. Then I could start a kickstarter for it and BOOM! We got ourselves a LincolnCity!! It's totally possible!!! By golly I think I have a new project on my hands. Oooosh that'll be sick. Jebus i shoulda thought of that months ago!!!!

HANYWAY. So uhhhhhhh i start my new job this week. Say hello to the new Northwest Rep/Team manager of NOMADIC SKATEBOARDS. I've been riding for this company for years now and have helping them out with video editing and graphic design too so this seems like this is the next step. Plus nomadic needs someone to kick ass in that department. I'm really excited to start gettin at it. All I need is for the promo materials to arrive at my house and I'll be on my way stoppin shop to shop showin the world what's up. Here's one of the promo pieces that I put together. It's a postcard-size piece that'll be in every northwest shop within this month.

Friggidy Front

Biggidy Back

The photo on the front was shot by my buddy Sawyer Purman in Amsterdam. Damn that was a fun trip.

On the flipside of thangs, heres the latest boards ive dotted. Checkemoot!

"WanderChina"

This is a dotted version of one of the five boards in the "Hobo Series" that I just pitched to Nomadic. I really hope they get printed on the other side of the deck someday...

"DeeduhBird"

This is the one I'm skating now. Whats that under his left wing? Those are 2 paint pens and a metallic green marker. Why? Because that's what I used to dot him. Well, I think it's a dude. Could be a chick though iono.

Lastly, I got a new vid for y'all. Just some fun that went down in Tacoma at a super rad spot. Filmed and edited by my buddy Paul Bond. Peep! 



Well that's all for now folks! Thanks for tuning in! Ill leave ya with an awesome song that inspired the title of this post. 

I'll be back next week with more!!! :)

New Creations, Old Animations.

Ello Interwebs!
GREAT NEWS. I met a nice lady who's really into the boards ive dotted and she wants to put my work in an upcoming "bird-themed" show!!! Stoked. Im thinking about doing a owl, eagle, raven, and maybe a sparrow too. Iono. I'll figure it out and keep 'erbody posted. The show's in May in west seattle and there should be a flier all about it soon so stay tuned. In the meantime, Ive dotted a couple of more decks that I'd like to share. Peep game friends:

"Elephace"

"Wobbly Legs 2"

(I accidently double-sold the first one so i had to bang out another)

ANNYYYYWAAAYSSSS I spent hella time on these two animations for an old sponsor of mine called Forevergreen Apparel that used to give me a tee shirt occasionally. I basically rotoscoped myself and a fellow team rider skateboarding, and then i turn us into animals. I didn't get paid for this or nothin, nor was i expecting to, I just kinda did it after talking to the company owner about the idea. I needed to beef up my demo reel anyway. They didn't have a youtube channel at the time, so I made one for them and uploaded the ads. That was about a year ago. Since then, I've tried to contact them to catch up and see what's happening with the company, but never have heard back. Honestly I dont even know if they're a company anymore, which is a damn shame because it really had potential. Oh well.

So I took the ads I made and put em up on my channel. Check em oot!

This ones me. Filmed at a demo in AZ.

This ones Isaiah Lele'a. Filmed in Kent I think.

Just wanted to show the world, that's all :)

Lastly, I was skating Marginal Way till the sun slept about a month ago with my homie Tyler, when we noticed that the Jersey barrier in front of the park had been worked on. It was still janky as fuck but that just made it more fun to skate. So we parked our cars in front of it, beamed it with our headlights and skated it for about 45 minutes. My buddy Paul was there with his camera and got it all on tape so we made a little edit of us havin fun. Check it out!

That all  for this week folks, thanks for tuning in!!!

End of Febuary...End of my first show...

So here I am at Freshy's about to take down the rest of my art from the walls. Feelin good, but sad, but content with the way things went. This show was such an important thing in my life to have happen. A big part of me still can't believe people have actually paid good money to own the used decks I've skated and dotted. I feel like now the ball is rolling in the right direction and I can't wait for the next one! I've learned so much from this experance that will make my 2nd art show twice as fantastic. How did this show go? Well, so far I've sold 9 pieces for a total of $620!!! Boo-yah I'm almost caught up on rent!!! Man my landlords rad. I'm going to keep dotting my decks and producing art in any way I can, in hopes to get better in that field and progress my ability to make cool shit. Why? Because there's no good reason not to! Aaaand it's super  fun. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANK Thank you so much Freshy's and to whomever came though and checked out my show while it was up. I really appreciate it :)

Here's some more photos of the show after the opening that my buddy Sawyer shot:

And that's that.
