Another ARTSHOW and more...

So at the beginning of last March, I was at Freshy's in West Seattle taking down the remaining pieces of my first art show, when a woman by the name of Krystal asked me, "Do you have any birds?" I assumed that she was talking about the artwork, so I answered with, "Not yet, but I could if you wanted me to." She said something like "Great" and preceded to tell me that she was running a "bird themed" art show in may and she would love to feature my work. Of course I said I'm down, and then I inquired about whether or not she needed someone to design a flyer for the exhibit, and that I had a bunch of experience in flyer-design from skatebarn. I got her email and sent her some of my previous work, and she replied with what she wanted on the flyer :) Here's the finished piece.
It's going to be during the Artwalk on May 10th at 6pm in the Admiral District of West Seattle. Here's two of the bird boards that I just finished for it:

Not only am I going to be in this show, but I'm also going to be the "Featured Artist" of a skate/bike shop that's down the street from it called "Alki Bike and Board" that's also involved with this Artwalk on the 10th. Come check it out if your in the area, there's like 35 artists involved with this Artwalk so your bound to see something that strikes yo' fancy.

IN OTHER NEWS, the gig I got with Nomadic is going pretty well. So far, I got boards into Snowboard Connection in Seattle, Snowboard Connection in Bellevue, Alki Bike and Board, and 35th North. Now I gotta get boards into the rest of 'em. I'm currently designing a new deck graphic series, I'm collecting the final clips for a little street edit that will be released in a few days, and earlier this week, I finished a fun little animation that shows off the Chief deck. It goes like this:


I also took on the responsibility of becoming the Team Manager of the skateteam. I knew that would be tough, but like most everything in my life, it's turning out to be a lot harder then I thought it would be. I won't get into specifics in respect of the riders involved, but I can share that I'm definitely starting a Flow team in hopes of finding skateboarders that will actually contribute something to the company. Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, check out this photo that Nomadic just released!
Nocompin' Jersey in Marseille. Watch the make here:


ON THE MUSICIANY FRONT, I made a new song. Peep game friends. 

I also tested out this idea that I had a while back. I just used my phone to film this one before I threw it into Premiere, but in the final video I hope to have 3-5 cameras set up, and instead of me just playing 3 instruments, I'll be playing 6 or 7. Check it out.
I can't wait to get started! I already have a song in mind that I'm workin on. It'll be dope trust me. 

Well that's about it as of now. I got a whole bunch more music, art, and skateboardin' brewin that's just about ready to share so check back in a week or two it you want to see more. I'll hopefully have the MUK 3d modeled by then and will be ready to take the steps to get that ball rollin with the Y.

Thanks for taking the time to check my blog out, and have an amazing day.
