Quick clip of the collabo deck that Damion and I did for www.digitalgravel.com.
Here are a couple of pics from a deck that I did with Damion Silver (www.damionsilver.com). If you’re not familiar with his work, do youself a favor and check it out.
This is a picture from the bamboo longboard that I did as a collaboration with German artist Aro (http://www.myspace.com/itzso_weezee ) for his upcoming show at Intoxicated Demons Gallery.
This is from the upcoming release of Sub Pop band Blitzen Trapper.

This was a great project to work on and I REALLY enjoyed working with the great peeps over at Sub Pop.
Whazzup???
So, it’s been a VERY long time since my last post. I’ve had a bunch of things going on… some bad… mostly good.
Like I said, it’s been so long, I don’t really know where to start… so… I’ll just start.

Berlin Group Show at Intoxicated Demons Gallery
Over the last few months, I’ve been working with a VERY talented artist named Mike Hyp. I met Mike up in Boulder when I found out that he had a solo show that featured laser etched goodies…
He has a show opening tonight in Berlin at the gallery, Intoxicated Demons that will feature his design work that we collaborated on and gave it that “lasery twist…Is that even a word”?
This is a group show featuring work by illustrator Aro of Germany and painter Morten Andersen of Denmark.

Maker Faire 08
This past Friday, I went out to San Francisco to attend the Maker Faire in San Mateo. It was INCREDIBLE!!! I felt like I had died and been taken to a nerd paradise…
I honestly cannot say what the coolest thing that I saw this weekend was. The show was probably twice the size of last year, in attendance and the amount of actual “stuff”, both on display and for sale.
We got there on Friday and took a little trip up to the “Tenderloin” aka “this place looks like it is the site of a nuclear fallout, 50 years later (per my son)” to visit Gallery 1988 and Strangeco. It was a really good time and I was lucky enough to meet with one of the head honchos of Strangeco, check out the early version of the newest “Craola” toy… Let’s just say that he and Strangco have done it again and all you “vinylheads” out there should be VERY pleased.
Notice the super slick Kathie Olivas prints behind me? Bet you want one, I know that I did! The prints were nice but the paintings that were there we’re even better. :)
Walk into a little corner store before heading into Gallery 1988 and mention how much I used to like “Frankenberry” and then one of the first prints I see at 1988 is… yeah, you guessed it.. :)
Nann and Curry is DA Sheet!! Even if it is in a very sketchy part of town and you feel like it’s an ultra strange game of Frogger trying to navigate through the sidewalks of “mental illness” and “pigeons”, it’s well worth the trip!!
Here are a few of the shots from the Maker Faire
Got a chance to meet the “OG” from The Guitar Zeros www.theguitarzeros.com and watch him pelt out the pilxely bad ass tunes into the crowd…
Got to go eat dinner with my friend Kristen Rask of Schmancy and have water spilled on my crotch area by her aunt… Wow, refreshing and it’s quite the “pee pee stain look” too!
Adam with his new purchase from the Japanese dollar store… This had to be one of the most complicated drinks to open that I’d ever seen. ** luckily, the instructions tell you “don’t swallow the plunger” **
