LONGNECKS

This is my first drawing in Melbourne.
Don't have a space yet but a dinner table works just fine.
Great skate weather, sorry to rub it in to those of you who are in the winter.

This photo was yesterday when it was overcast and windy, but, today it was so fun.
Launcher. Sliver city if you eat shit.

keeper kind.

TOOTH ACHE

 Have yet to get working again. It's only been a week and a half...Feels like forever though.
When you're sleeping on a good friends couch, skating, tail-bone bruised, tooth ached  and drunk for too many days. Not complaining. Lifes so rad.

Been focusing on getting some future projects rolling in this end of the world.
Interesting work comming up once I find myself more settled.(as of the 27th in my new spot in Carlton)
Hanging by the beach tipping melboure bitters is not a bad way to pass the time though.

Stay kind.

MILK BAR

I've been in Melbourne for three days now.
Loving summer, beach, blisters from skating and good friends.
Hopfully soon I can get a home and get painting again.
Also, the new Black Mountain album rules.

Keep Kind.

COME TOGETHER

 Justin Brady with his new painting.
Chunks jalling around blurring his face.

Great book. New Sculpture.
Last days here in Canada. Can't wait to skate in the heat again.
Big baby jesus I can't wait.

keeper kind.

WANDER

today was kind.
went and picked up some skateboards for my trip from the very very nice people at S&J east coast.
Had a solo drive in the rain which ruled. I think all men like to drive, most of all alone.
Getting the itch...

“Accept me as a wanderer, who from birth was made to stray from the sight of his brothers and sisters, his guides, his mentors, his comforters.”
Henry Miller

CAN'T REMEMBER, WON'T REMEMBER

Here on the east coast we're jamming one last blast of warmish weather.
Puts a big smile on my face.
It also makes it way harder to get stuff done.

Move on,
mover,
shaker,
clam baker,
party maker,
move on.

GO DO

 It sucks when you leave something at a ex-girlfriends house.

Right now I am so excited about sculpture. It's so fun. It feels so fucking good to mess with things,
try, take apart and put back together. It feels really pure.. On that note, J Dill. So pure. How fucking rad is that ender?  Hope that dude keeps skating for a longtime to come.

MODERN DRIFT

Going on a sweet road trip today with Ashley and Lucas today.
Should be pretty kind. Not sure what to expect really which is rad.

Gonna make sure I get to CanZine in Toronto on sunday(you should too if you can).
Anybody who skates should be getting down to dunbat before they take that shit down.
Super fun 6ft mini and lots of boxes and stuff. Not to mention good vibes.
I feel like the skate scene in Toronto is rad cause of the lack of skaters here.
So everyones super nice. With that in mind I can't wait to bomb some hills and
general west coast jams again.

THE WEIGHT

The east coast in closing is on me. Cool weather that is. 

Stayed with CHUNKS the past few. Kind times.

Working away and skating as per usual.

What if I wrote my name up high? High, high up.
So only I could reach it?
What then? Would you try and touch it or just keep passing by.

 Saw this dude getting carried. I think he's asleep?

WISE MEN

Lots of good days.
Been around Toronto.
The AGO is so great these days.
If you have the means, go.
Very worth it.

Keep Kind.

ANTISOCIAL BY DEFAULT

Perfect day here in small town rural Canada.
Coffee and painting. Empty, super fun skatepark.
More paintng. This make shift studio is turning
out to be alright. Seem to be getting alot done.
Semi large, new body of work comming soon.

THAT DRESS LOOKS NICE ON YOU

This painting is a product of feeling isolated and calm.
Feeling pretty free as a result. Thats the goal in life mostly I think.

LEESIDE TUNNEL ROAST

You are a natural.

COAST GHOST

A coast ghost is two different things Someone who use to live on the coast ,but, is gone now
or someone who use to skate. Guess which one I am?
My last days here have been hectic. At least I had the pleasure of throwing this
dude up in a ghost town in the mountains with some friends who are family looking on.
Life is good.

STAY HERE

Here's a look at three pieces of mine for
the bike film fest in toronto.
So happy to be apart of this with so many great dudes.

GOOD FRIENDS COLLECTIVE

These are some pretty old pictures that Ahsley took at my show this past winterat antisocial. I love how her photos always have a certain vibe. like blown out or somthing.
She has always taken photos of our group of friends. Since I never save anything, ever, in the
future I will be very thankful for Ashleys attention to our daily lives.

JUST GETTING STARTED.

These days are good days.
Mostly I'm focusing on the heart and soul.
Feels great.
Painting alot of exterior walls.
Working on a way to merge both my art loves into one area.
Maybe Collecting Everything is the answer.
In any case I will be doing what I love.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.

THE WOODS ARE LOUD

Only Time Will Tell By Old Friend Band from Talk About Freedom on Vimeo.

Dryspell

Havn't posted anything in a long long long long time.
I guess that means it's been sunny out...
I'll get back on it. Been drawing alot,
focusing alot of energy on outdoor painting.
SO fun. Get up.

This dude is for a deck that hasn't been made yet.
Can't wait to see it on wood!

Keeper Kinder.

DREAMING OF NOW

Drew this dude tonight as a result of a certain someone who is building some dream catchers of various sizes.
Those are related to a great upcomming show at antisocial where we can all meet sf art type guy Spencer Cunningham,
I really like his work and am really looking forward to it.

Also, Summer is here, so lets hang at the beach.
Swim, eat good food and sip some beers....
AFTER horseshoebay jams.

stay kind.

SUMMER VIBES

Im feeling like summer is almost here.
I hope anyway, been having to wake up and see if its sunny to get any
kinda skate in...With that in mind though, it being
not so hot outsides makes it way easyer to
draw and make stuff.

THANK YOU

Man life is good.
Hope everyone is getting down on summertime.
I feel its gonna be a good one.

ANTIHERO

So I did get a bunch of drawing done in the time I was home.
This dude worked at the flea market in my hometown of Campbellfornia..
He had so much rad shit it was nuts. He was clearly a lonley man who found
some comfort in all his things. He collected everything.

If anyone is wondering too, my Mom is all good.

NO PLANS EXCEPT CHANGE AND ACCEPTANCE

Sorry about the whole no posts.
I'm back home, visiting. My Mom has some
breast cancer and she is having surgery.
It nuts how life goes.
You just have to accept what happens with
a positive attitude or you'll never make it out alive.

The days in campbellford ontario aren't so bad.
Good coffee, skating and drawing are getting me by just fine.
I'm gonna get some new stuff up soon.

stay kind.

GOOD JAM

Weekday weekends are the stuff my life is made of.
Hanging with my good friend Ray creator of this nuts webiste tune rights.
Going to Killer shows at antisocial,
skating to get curry supplies, smiling like crazy.
Life's so rad.

THE OL'WOOD

This is it lately.
Been at the old desk for a bunch of days.
Breaking for small pushes to egg-salad and coffee.
haha, oh man, gonna post some new stuff soon.

GET IT STRAIGHT

Here's a drawing of my general relationship with girls...

Also, mega hero, Gonz.
Doing what he does.

Circle board in Paris with Mark Gonzales (short BW) from Ludovic Azemar on Vimeo.

ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES

Here's the end product of that terry richardson drawing.
It's should be a great show, SORCERERS are kind.
It's sunny out, I can smell summer comming.

TOO UNFORGETABLE

This dude is what my next series is growing to look like more and more.
Repetition is soothing. Kinda like hot soup or coffee.
Been real busy lately, lots of mini projects.
Definetly smiling alot and enjoying life.
So many amazing people in my life,
it's mind blowing.

WAY OUT!

BE LIKE TERRY

This is a drawing of Terry Richardson I did last night for a mini
project I'm doing. I love the mans work/his existence. It's funny cause they seem to
be one thing.

OH JUST LIVING THE DREAM

Today was rad.
Breakfast with Ben Frey and Advebture Mike at ANOTHER vegitarian spot, bandidas. So fucking good.
Did a little skating. Mostly hungout. Stopped by antisocial to see the super amazing Michelle.
Feeling Thankful for so many good people.

Right now I'm working on small poems/illustrations and mailing them to people.
If you want one comment me your mailing adress or something and I'll get one to you.
Mail is fun and it's fun to give stuff away.

Keep it Kind!

BALANCE

Today equals solid goodtimes breakfast with the ultra kind Ben Frey and Mike "Adventure" Irvine. Mike got back from India days ago with stories of motorcycles, opium and burning humans. SO RAD.

Here's some some video about one of my biggest influences. The Tempster.

Fucking welcome to hell. Imagine if Brain Anderson was still on Toy Machine??



Something about the balance of skateboarding and art in people makes me happy.



Stay Kind everyone.

KINDER

This is one of my favorite skateboards that got a new paint job recently.
I call it the curb surfer. It's basicly just a zip zinger, ha.
One step closer to having art on skateboards, yeah!

Getting alot done these days. Feels great.

This video of Evan Hecox making a latop sleeve graphic blows my mind.
Mega inspiring.
