This blog consists of all my artwork, as well as the work as others, and some miscellaneous throughout. I'm currently working on a much cleaner blog of only my artwork, but it's taking time (and energy, I'm way too lazy) to update it with all my past work. All links are to tags of this blog for right now.

DYZYZD - Fun Size Sugar Dancer - March 28th, 2012
36” x 7.5” ; 24” wheelbase ; 3” nose and tail
9-ply Baltic Birch, Dregs Soy Luv Yo Mutha 70mm 76a Wheels, Caliber 150mm White Gold Trucks, Rush Abec-3 Titanium Coated Bearings
I just finished this yesterday and I’m so in love with it already… [Read More]
Caliber - White, Gold - 150mm, 50˚ Trucks
These would look nice and they’re the right size. I was hoping to use something with a bit more color though…
Seismic Tekton Abec-7 Bearings
These have built-in half spacers that keep the bearings perfectly straight and spaced. How clever.
Fun fax. Trying to find the best bearings i can get for under $20 for a client. I’m leaning towards reds right now, but it’d be nice if I could save him some money for the same quality. Any suggestions?
I’m in the process of making a Blooper Board from the Mario games. It’s my smallest yet at 18.25” by 7.5”, and it has a 7.75” wheelbase. It’s an insane ride with mini-trucks, but it’s fun.
I just finished the Secur-O-Skate, a remake of the 60’s Skee-Skate, with an added hole for a bike lock. It’s a bit different than my usual board, but I really like the thing, and it’s a lot of fun to ride once you get used to it. The original Skee-Skate was 19” x 4.5”, and this one is 5” x 20”, so I tried to stay as accurate as possible, with silver wheels to mimic the metal originals, and silver hardware to match the original.
In other news, I’m leaving for a week up to Pasadena to take a silk-screening class, amd I’m staying with my sister, so this should be fun.
Rodney Mullen 1984 Japan - Thanks Mary!
Mind = blown for the first three minutes and thirty-five seconds. Old school > New School.
My work so far on the Skee Skate, and what the originals look like. Mine has a teeny kick, and is 20” instead of 19. Also, I shifted the trucks forward, so the nose is shorter and the tail is longer. I’m making mine a bit different, but I’ll leave that a surprise.I’m gonna try to get the smallest trucks possible, and some silver wheels, or as a plan B, red Cadillacs.
In other news, I’m entering a longboard design contest, and will be taking a sil-screening class starting the 26th, how exciting.
