Yesterday was the release off the nike sb Blue Lobster which everyone in the sneaker world was trying to get. We had a nice line out front with one guy in the front who put in 25 hours to get his pair. We had a good size run of shoe but still only took 30 min to sell them all.
So it has been a minute since I have posted anything besides a photo or two. It’s been a long hard month for me. I have spent the last month chillin on the LO trying to heal a broken collor bone I got in the end of May do to a bike crash. The time has been spent at the house getting very little sleep and riding the bus a lot to get to and from work. At the same time I had to finishup my video installation for the Hood Games show, that was a blast and thank you for everyone that came out for that.
So it has been a month and I feel great and finally on my bike again an can’t wait to ride my fixie again. Really it great not to have constant pain and have to wait for the bus. This has been a great lesson in not taking things for granted. Even though I had set backs I still managed to be productive and get things done.
So here’s to being our selves and doing it how we do cause I can care less what you think of me or how I do it because this is my life and the way of me living it.
Quality Over Quantity
There is going to be a Hood Games this Thursday @ 18th and Telegraph Downtown Oakland.
This will be a good. Will see you all there.
More news to come soon… I promise.
It has been a mind bending past two weeks and I can finally say that I am on top of the main projects that I have going on. I have had some ups and downs with the Hood Games show and am now running full speed to the end now. It’s funny to look back now on how I was having troubles starting new works and when the time is right they will present them selves. Just goes to show that you can never rush through to get what you want. So here is to the next show and more great works to come.
Cabez- June 5, 2009 6-9 at The Uptown Gallery
See you all there.
Damn I’m trying. I really am. It’s been a minute since a blog from me, but like I said I’m trying.
The great weather is back and the creativity is flowing. I have had some really great talks with some close friends that have pushed my movaition. Something else that I have needed very bably.
So here’s the story. I have wrapped myself up into three different projects and left with very little down time. The first project is the Harrison ST. video and I am really excited to get this new video out. The second project is very dear to me and I feel very privileged to be apart of the Hood Games Art show opening this June. Lastly I have some new works coming out and will be working on them with an old college hommie. More info to come soon.
Yeah $2 A’s games. Too bad we lost.
Road out to the Oakland ports last week.
Empty wharehouses with Graffiti are the shit.
This is my wall I get for the Hood Games Art show. This will be achallenge.
“The Time Has Come.”
I feel like it has been a while since we took the lights out and skated during the night. When I think about it, the. Only reason we did was because it got dark super early or it got dark before we were ready to skate. Now there is a new reason that I haven’t thought of and that is cause it is to hot to site during the day and have to wait till night to do so. I’m sure there ate amillion other reason and that most of you know that reason already. Needless to say it was a lot of fun. We got a couple of tricks on film that you will see in the new Harrison St promo coming out next month. Last night is what I needed to really hype me back up to skate and work on more projects. Even though I didn’t skate last night I did skate during the day in sun, which ended up killing me and caused me to sleep the last hour of the session. Lol. I did get some double angles and a couple of pics. There is nothing cooler than the start up of the generater and the moment when the lights come on making a dark spot skateable.

There are a lot of things that I enjoy doing on a rainny day in Oakland. My favorit though is getting a tattoo. I am at my home girls house getting some work done on my left arm. It’s always fun to roll by and chill with L Dubber. Here are some photos while in the act.
It’s funny how we take stuff for granted some times, even though many will not admit to it. There have been a few people getting hurt lately and it has been making me think of how nice it is to be able to move freely without pain. Getting hurt can happen any moment of any day, but there is a lot you can do to insure that your odds are in your favor. As skaters though,well, we throw caution into the wind and because of that we know what can happen and just try are best. Shit happens and we just have to deal with it and hopefully limp away learning something new. As many have said before, “You got to pay, to play”. So I feel your pain brothers, can’t wait to see you in action again.
Things around the town are going well though.We have lucked out with some really nice spring weather and just got hit with some Spring rain which is very much need out here. Our homie came out from Brooklyn this past weekend and it was really nice to see him and kick while he was here. Rob and I are starting the 3rd Harrison St promo. This is going to be the last promo before the video comes, so keep an eye out for that in the next few weeks. Hopefully this project will get my gears rolling to create some new work, hey maybe even some art, who knows. Now back to finish my spring cleaning, that is almost finshed and I leave you with some random photos.
