R.I.P. Luke Ceballos

Last month I lost my close friend to a motorcycle accident. Luke Ceballos was an inspiration and a great friend that always pushed me to get my art out and to do more projects. Stereo Skateboards, Loser Machine, Gnarbro , Volcom and other companies have given me a change to cope with this tragedy and help raise money for his fiance and family. Please keep them in your thoughts and support the companies that supported our friend.

food for thought

It's not very often that you hear someone have an idea that you have to stop and recognize as a complete original. Ryan Holloway is the smartest skateboarder I know and he's found a way to break down skateboarding and the basic movements in volved in a way that he's teaching kids to progress at an amazing rate. I've always been an advocate of "action sports". I'm a firm believer that doing these individual sports help shape young lives. The lessons in goal setting and self motivation not to mention the physical exercise make these "sports" well worth the time. I was lucky enough to be asked to help develope a logo and shirt design for Holloway and his martial art of skateboarding. I made the logo to reflect his pop / counter pop theory he teaches and the tiger to represent power and the curves in the yin yang to represent flow.If you have kids give www.martialartofskateboarding.com  a look.

Posieden

I've wanted to do a posieden or neptune tattoo for awhile so I was stoked when this sailor came in for this tattoo last night. Unfortunatly I didn't get a gret picture and he left for Japan this morning so I'll have to wait for his girlfriend( luckily a photography student) to go visit in a few months.
