It’s been really cool being @SpotTampa this last couple days.

It’s been amazing to have pieces of our #FloridaSkateboardingHistory show up in discussion and photos.

Yesterday @grigley sent me these pictures of his third place ribbon from @KonaSkatepark this is before John put his stamp of #SkateTivity into our culture

if you’re around this morning, we’re going to have a session at the #BroBowl at 10am

if you miss that session, hopefully we’ll see you over the #TampaPro in person or online starting at noon

So, you’ve heard some of this before, but I/We are back at it😬.

I’ve been asked for decades (thankfully) for ways to buy some of my artwork. I’ve also been fortunate enough to create things in slightly different categories, be it skateboard art, the OGD clothing years, or photography, etc. -My friend, and printer @theoldgoldtooth and his print shop @themerchcarrboro produced these limited edition posters of this photo taken of me by the 😞💔⚰️LATE/GREAT “O”📸🌟. This jump ramp transfer (one jump ramp, landing on another ramp), in the #VisionSkates and #SchmittStix Costa Mesa, CA Wood-shop circa 1987?. These silkscreened posters are signed and numbered, 36 total were made in this size/color way. Pink and Black fancy water based inks on Grout Grey French Paper, 12.5 x 19. I’m selling them for $85.📦 delivered in the lower 48 states🇺🇸. I’ve been shipping some overseas, with an additional shipping charge. Hit me up, if you’re interested in purchasing anything? DM, Venmo/PayPal/Zelle for payment, and shit. Thanks for listening. #SEP22_2025

I had a rare failed attempt, posting to social media about my adventures yesterday at the @bonesbrigade Experience. I’ve discovered that sometimes my Self-deprecation humor doesn’t always translate well, to the written word, or at least with my limited writing skills.

(*This is a photo of Stacy and I, unfortunately Mike and I didn’t get one together 😔)

I was invited to attend this event celebrating The Bones Brigade by @mikemcgill . I don’t possess the best personality for these type of events, but I ended up having a blast, getting to hear their stories of our youth in skateboarding, based primarily in the early 1980’s. Such a good time, but unfortunately the interior lighting wasn’t my favorite for taking photos, plus I kinda wanted to be in the moment, and listen to the stories that the bones team came to tell. Which is why MY photos in this post are lacking. (Other contributors killed it though📸🤩🏆)

-Thanks again Mike, and to the whole crew for allowing me to attend. I was moved by the stories being told on that stage, by such amazing skaters/artists. I did have a little a sense of regret while listening though. I had wished that the team I was involved with during this period, had someone with the experience, guidance, and even more importantly perhaps is the foresight of @peraltastacy . I doubt I would have come to that same conclusion back then, but it seems that way now. Really though, who am I kidding, there’s only one skateboarding Yoda, especially for back then, so how could I have wished one for us too? A pure silly thought, on my part.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my olde man ramblings.

It’s an odd phenomenon, that perhaps some of you out there in the Instagram world might have experienced? There seems to be a correlation between the amount of time that passes and the deterioration of my very own spacesuit. The first 3 photos were taken by the very talented @clarenceklingebeil during an impromptu portrait lighting test shoot, in the town of Brooklyn on DEC 4, 2024. The other shot of me was in Florida circa 1976, in a Photo Booth. The last photo is of the famous #BatBoi just because, you can never really have enough BatBoi in your posts. #MAR4_2025

There seems to be a correlation between the amount of time that passes and the deterioration of my very own spacesuit. The first 3 photos were taken by the very talented @clarenceklingebeil during an impromptu portrait lighting test shoot, in the town of Brooklyn on DEC 4, 2024. The other shot of me was in Florida circa 1976, in a Photo Booth. The last photo is of the famous #BatBoi just because, you can never really have enough BatBoi in your posts. #MAR4_2025

It’s an odd phenomenon, that perhaps some of you out there in the Instagram world might have experienced?

I’ve been asked for decades (thankfully) for ways to buy some of my artwork. I’ve also been fortunate enough to create things in slightly different categories, be it skateboard art, the OGD clothing years, or photography, etc. -My friend, and printer @theoldgoldtooth and his print shop @themerchcarrboro took the lead in producing these limited edition posters of this never-used spray paint skateboard art, that was originally created in circa 1985. This art was going to be used as the top art on skateboard decks (between the grip-tape). These silkscreened posters are signed and numbered, 27 total were made in this size/color way. They are water based Canary Yellow and (Almost) Black on Grout Grey French Paper. 12.5 x 19. I’m selling them for $75.📦 delivered in the lower 48 states🇺🇸. I’ve been shipping some overseas, with an additional shipping charge. I’ve also have some tees and stickers available of this same art, but in circle form. Hit me up, if you’re interested in purchasing anything? Thanks for listening. #JAN27_2025
