It’s been a long time in the making, but I finally have a NEW SITE. The new site includes my design portfolio, dealer list for the clothing line, selected press and of course the daily blog. The blog will remain the same with sneak peaks of projects that I am working on and all that. Take a look around and let me know what you think.

All The Homies!

I have been talking about this ad for awhile now because I am still blown away from all the support that the SF heads showed for this. The new issue of Transworld Skateboarding Magazine is out. TWS and New Era got together to give me an ad for the Fitteds I designed. I could have done anything, for the ad, but figured it would be great to show what the SF scene is like today. I decided on a classic posse shot with the whole crew. Everyone brought the bikes and boards and we had a fun shoot at the famous Wallenberg 4. Thank you to everyone that came out to make this happen!

New Stickers In!

New stickers are in. Mash and I split a run again, but this time we added a red option. If you want stickers paypal me $5.00 to this e-mail and I will stuff an envelope full for you. Check out the pic I just got in from a friend visiting Japan. Stickers run much longer there then in the states.

Spring / Summer Collection

Everything is out the door and shipped… finally! The line is based on the concept of staying youthful and striving to be the best you can be. The reference to gold symbolizes success and achievement. Stay Gold.

Also, for the first time, I am proud to offer a collaboration design. Andy Jenkins, Art Director of Girl Skateboards, has been kind enough to to lend his hand for shirt design. Everything should be at your local retailer this week!

These hats are finally available. I just dropped a shipment off at the Huf Sutter Street store. They are hitting the shelves first thing Saturday morning! They also have a small run of matching shirts and the Transworld caps. The summer line officially releases everywhere the following week. Huf is first because they are in my home town. I’ll post pics of the rest of the line next week.
