Skateboarding and punk rock has been played a huge part of my life. Having a brand is a great medium to express yourself and hopefully get people excited about the stuff that you find really inspiring. This is my collaboration shirt with The Hundreds for their Tribute To Hardcore series. The shirt will be releasing at both The Hundreds San Francisco and Los Angeles stores on Thursday May 28th. The graphic is based on few things that really stuck out to me growing up: The rawness of a concert flyer and the bands like Gorilla Biscuitsand Bold that adorned them.

I got a call from Johnny Cupcakes yesterday asking if I wanted to meet up with him. Johnny was in town for a lecture at a local high school. I think it’s great that he travels around and inspires people by telling his story. I was inspired hearing it during lunch and he gave me a lot of really solid advice about my brand and what I am working on. 

After lunch we headed over to the Rebel8 headquarters to catch up with them. I gave Johnny a preview of a project I am working on with them. Overall the day was very inspirational for me and I have a lot to digest. Thanks for taking the time out of your trip to spend the day with me. See you in Boston soon!

Oh and that sneak peak of Rebel8 for Dickies is fire!

The mailman dropped off a few really nice packages for me today at my office. The nice people at Gravis, The Hundreds and Johnny Cupcakes hooked me up with some promo gear. Thanks so much! If you are curious why these 3 brands hooked me up, it’s because iI have projects in the works with all 3 of them. More on those projects later.. promise.
