The past few weeks have been busy getting the summer line printed, packed and shipped. It's almost out the door and into the shops. Between client work and the line I need a vacation or at least a few solid skate days.

I came across this beer advertisement in Luezers Archive Magazine. Archive showcases the best ads from around the world. Maybe the BG hat helped in some way to get this ad showcased - ha. Regardless I was amazed to find it.

I have been helping my friend with an after school skateboard program at a local Junior High. When I was in Jr high I used to try to skate the school grounds and ended up in detention real fast. It's nice to see that times are changing and their are options outisde of the normal school activities.

Glider Plane Candle (First Look)

So.. The Hundreds leaked the candle I am working on and I have gotten a TON of questions about it. Since everyone seems interested in it, I decided to show a sneak peak earlier then I planned. The construction of it is really smart and resembles a traditional balsa wood glider plane. The candle will come packed as separate pieces that you assemble yourself. I made sure that it is sturdy enough to stand on it's end and burn like a normal pillar candle. Thanks to Common in Japan for helping make this piece possible. I am really excited about it and I will show you more once I design the packaging and finalize the samples.

Before the Hundreds 1 year anniversary party Ben and Bobby stopped by my house to talk about upcoming projects and just catch up. I think they were more interested in my dog Levi then anything else. I can't blame them thou. Levi rules and learned how to off leash walk this week. I am a proud parent. Check out some pics from our afternoon together on The Hundreds site. Congrats on the anniversary guys!

Computer Arts Projects Magazine recently ran a nice showcase on some of my logo work in their recent issue. We discussed the concepts and background behind some of my more recognizable logos. Check the magazine out at a news stand now. We also worked on a larger feature, with a more in-depth look at some of my other projects for a later issue. Thanks for the support!

I finally got around to updating the inventory in the store. It got messy for a minute. I deleted all the sold out items and put the remainder on Sale (30% Off). I need the room to ship Spring / Summer later this month.

When I was doing inventory I found a few Black Chamber shirts that I designed for their anniversary. This is the only place you can get this shirt in the states and I don't have many. Check them in the store here.
