One more shout out to the people who showed up to the opening on Saturday and to the gallery for hosting the work. ✔️

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the opening Saturday night at @heronarts . So many old friends I got to reconnect with and new people that I got to meet. And also a massive thanks to everyone at Heron…especially Tova and Nick for all the work put into making it happen and pulling it off so well. Such an amazing space and group of people to meet and work with.

Special thanks to @caseyoconnell__ , @toddfrancisart , @ferrisplock , @superdelphi and @porous_walker for the spiritual and moral support and to those who travelled from far and near to say hello and see the paintings. Huge Thank you to those who purchased work before or at the show. And super thanks to people who came by to reminisce and talk about skateboarding and art.

I designed a board graphic for @mymorningjacket that is available now in their webstore. It’s produced at Generator so the wood/mold/quality are top notch.
They created a video for the release so go check it out. ✔️

Just randomly scrolled into this post from @youwillsoon and @ninetimesedmonton about this board exhibit featuring a bunch of old Alien Workshop boards I’ve designed (as well as a ton of other incredible 90s graphics from other companies).
Edmonton, AB Canada. Looks amazing.

The first photos I have of me skating my new board in 1985 are marked March 14 so I figured this would be a good time to celebrate 40 years of being obsessed with skateboarding. So enjoythis brief roll down memory lane with some of my greatest hits and misses as a curb dog.

As always, thanks to @grigley for his skating and for creating that first Old Ghost deck that started my obsession. And to @oscarputdowntheknife for fueling the fire that had me shoveling snow that winter for a spot to practice ollies. And to @drthisorthat and @ccarteraws for giving a kid from a tiny town a push and proving it could be done. To Ron Patrick for all the support through the Iguana years. And to Dusty Smith and@solamerightnow for always being down to skate whenever, wherever. All the time.
