I’ve been putting in work with NYC street courier legend Kurt Boone designing graphics for messenger bags and apparel. He just sent me a pic of one the logos I designed for a bag and its looks awesome. This guy is an entrepreneur through and through, from poet, publisher and designer. Check out his site at www.kurtboonebooks.com.
Look for future collabs with him..
A new logo I designed was revealed this past week down in Miami. Ahhhh……. some big time with next years WrestleMania 28, awesome to see it on a large scale.
The long awaited Zoo York x A.skate collab board designed by yours truly is now available. Ask your favorite skate shop to order you a few. Proceeds got to help fund A.skate’s mission to better the lives of children with autism. Head over to Zoo York for a Q&A with co-founder Crys Worly and myself about A.skate and board design.
To print or not to print?
Messing with some ideas for this guy.
Drawing hands have always been a pain for me. No matter how decent they look, I always feel I can draw them better, never satisfied with my result. Anyways, I came across this nice little write-up on drawing hands on Tom Richmond’s blog. He really puts it all into perspective, good stuff. Give it a read if you’re in the same boat I am.

This ones been a fan favorite for a while. It was printed up a few years ago and I still get asked if its available for sale. I was thinking of printing a few more up, maybe with some different background colors. If there is enough interests Ill jump on it.
Thoughts?
Been busy this week putting together designs for various clients. I have some samples of the work below that I have been messing with. Cant show the full outcome until O.K.s are made.
Anyways, its the weekend, its hot, get out there and enjoy!
Started to experiment with cartoon looking characters, just for my own sake. I like how this came out, needs a few minor tweaks though. Maybe print it as a sticker or on a ladies tank top or something. Its my little mash-up of secret societies and wealth.
I am dropping a few designs I printed up for the summer this weekend. I based it around a theme of “Reaping Black”, the meaning behind that name was because of an idea I had to do “biker” themed graphics. That idea obviously changed when illustrations took a left turn instead of staying the course. I dig the results anyways and decided to keep the name cause it sounds kinda cool to me (yea, im a dork). Take a look at them below. I am also going to print some ladies tees and tanks. There will also be some limited artists “collab” (god I hate that word) tees in July if all works out.
All tees will be $15 bucks and available at www.exc.bigcartel.com. Hope ya dig’em!
Theres also some skytop flicks from last weeks Maloof Money Cup, here in Queens NY. They were taken on my Iphone so quality isnt that great. It was good to see all the big time pros not land a damn trick. But P-rod, Cole, Pudwell, and Shane O’neill killed it, they are freakin’ machines!
The new park at FMP is sick, cant wait to hit it up.
