Skatepark Fundraiser PRESALE!

Ok, folks. Here we go! Time to start raising some money to help Corning, NY (my hometown) get a new skatepark and here's your chance to help out by purchasing a commemorative t-shirt honoring the one and only OLD PARK! All profits from the shirt sales will go towards getting a new spot built in Denison Park.

This is PRE-SALE ONLY for the time being. I will keep the pre-order going until August 31st to give everyone ample time to find out about this and get in an order if they'd like. Orders will start shipping out a month after the pre-sale ends.

Shirts will be available in S, M, L, XL and come in black on white tee or blue on white tee (a nod to Corning's Little Joe tower). All tees will be printed with solvent and lead-free, water based inks on 100% cotton Gildan Hammer tees in Cleveland, OH.

Click on link below to PRE-ORDER and click on either t-shirt image based on the color way you'd prefer and then scroll down to choose your size. Images of sample t-shirts and phase 1 design of the new skatepark below.

The skatepark as it stands now. The city initially considered bulldozing the original park (which they did) and putting down a pad for prefab ramps. We think that with enough time and money we can get something built that would be far superior and withstand the northeast season changes over the years.

These are the current renderings of our initial skatepark design. Things will most likely change as time goes on but we are hopeful that we can get something very similar to this built.

 

It's Comic Time!

Nothing too crazy here. Just stuff I scribble down at the end of my days to help me release and feel better about my frustrations with day jobs, clueless assholes, and the deep down driving force behind our technological advancements.

Sexy Landscapes For Sexy People

A series of landscapes for the "Character and Narrative" show at the Foothills Art Center. On view until October 20th! The last one is based off Francois Lemoyne's painting "Narcissus Contemplating His Image Mirrored in the Water"

Attempting Comics

I've been doing little comics during some free time lately. Nothing crazy but having fun with it. The first one is just the endless mental anguish I've felt for years, entitled, "Taste My Pain, Bitch!" Below we have some sort of caffeinated nonsense.

The Vans x Homegrown anniversary special

I had the honor of working on a pretty special project for my friends skate shop in Ithaca, NY a few months ago. The 10 year anniversary of his shop, Homegrown,  is coming up this fall and Vans approached him about doing a t-shirt to commemorate this occasion and he reached out to me to do the illustration for it. It was a lot of fun to illustrate the skatepark I spent a great deal of time at when I was younger and include little nods to its flooding issues and a friends favorite pair of shoes. If you want one of these bad boys ya gotta get to Ithaca, go to Homegrown, buy a pair of Vans and hope the limited supply hasn't run out yet. Big thanks to Andrew and Joe for this opportunity.

A whole mess of thinking on paper has been included for your viewing pleasure.

Party in the back.

"You can't do that here."

A recent piece, a lil' labor of love, if you will. There's always someone out there trying to spoil your fun. Don't wanna preach too hard here but this is my apocalyptic vision of 'no skateboarding' signs. People have asked if I really saw this.

Mmmm. Doesn't that bench look nice? Bet you gotta switch flip over it.

Sneak peek of a special anniversary t-shirt comin to you shortly-ish.

Steez Skateboart

About a solid 3 years in the making but it's finally here! The board graphic I did for Steez Magazine is finally printed and ready for you to tear it a new one! Or for it to be hung over the fireplace during your fancy wine and cheese parties. It's all up to you. Check out their new issue with the killer(ziinngggg) cover by Cleon Peterson.

The boards are on sale for a cool 40 dollars and come in either 8.25 or 8.5 because that's what real men, and women, ride. Link below:

Dogs and Boards

Did some recent portraits. I've been out of college for 6 years and am proud to say that I have finally done not 1 but, 2 dog portraits. It almost felt like a right of passage. Now let's get down to brass tax.

Let me tell you 'bout THIS GUY! This has been some serious long time coming type of project. It's been redone, reworked, tweaked, chopped and screwed and been biding some serious time to strike. Well, the the iron's hot so watch out. It's REALLY coming out this time. Full detail pics and info on where to buy coming soon......

Father figures doin righteous things

Whipped up a little set of father figures for my friends fundraiser. All of these will be for sale, along with other local and non-local artists work, to support their DIY skate spot in Syracuse, NY. The event is on April 5th at 7pm at Spark Contemporary Art Space. Go and buy some stuff hanging on the walls so they can keep the spot going.

Seasons Tee

SEASONS SKATE SHOP in Albany, NY recently asked me to do a graphic that would be included in a batch of new shirts they're putting out. Check out the line-up HERE. Their photos of the shirts are much more glamorous than mine. Anyways, I'm really psyched to be included in this bunch. GO SUPPORT THEM YOU SKATEBOARD MINIONS.
