New Creation Webapage

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have recently assumed teh position of Brand Manager of Creation Skateboards, from California. This means pretty much that I decide what the general style of the brand should be. This is right up my alley, since I have been doing graphics for them since 2004. Now I get a bigger chance to step up their game to the next level of evolution!!

Anyways, the first step was to revamp teh webpage and that was launched today. Still many changes to be done, but we got a solid dent into it. Please support this brand, that pushes recycled wood and conscious graphics, so we can grow and keep expanding!!

New Satori Movement Wheels!!

My new Satori Movement skate wheels are out!! Depicting a shaman offering some Ayahuasca, it will roll under the very awesome Kenny Anderson, pro for Chocolate skateboards. Super stoked. Get yours at www.satorimovement.org !!

Im Creation Skateboards new Brand Manager!!

It is obvious that I like painting on classic skate spots, cause in that way we can all skate on the art itself. Yesterday I did this simple piece at the infamous Big O Pipe. Lettering is not my strength but I wanted to big up Creation, the Cali skate brand I have been doing graphics since 2004. They are now promoting me to brand manager so I am stoked on the potential!
Creation also sets the intention for what I think skateboarding is about, as opposed to the stereotypical Destruction we're usually boxed in. In the pic Marc Tison shows a creative lip slide, with no destruction needed.

The place is totally DIY, done by skaters for skaters to rip during our harsh winters or whenever. I made them this "Worshiper of Fun" in the entrance to their L shaped bowl, next to a Ben Tour piece. Locals where stoked and I got to skate a bit.

Slideshow Speech in Hawaii Video

A week ago I was on the big island of Hawaii, for Alchemeyez Visionary Art Congress. Happening in the grand Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel, I gave a one hour slideshow speech, that was definitely not long enough, but still enjoyed by the public. It was about my artistic journey, and done in a freestyle stand up comedy style as to entertain while teaching. A BIG THANX to David Hedriana for filming this and to Ben Jackson for editing into one smooth piece! Enjoy.

Alchemyez 2011 Report

This last week I was back on the Big Island of Hawaii with 30 of the top Visionary artists for Alchemeyez Visionary Art Congress. This time it was at the Hilton, which was mega fancy of a setting, and shocking at the beginning, but as I got used to it I mostly enjoyed it and had a good time with the fans, and my fellow co-creators.

The art was great as usual, and most of us did live painting during the endless epic dj parties. I also did a one hour slideshow presentation about my artistic journey, which ended up being more like stand up comedy. Everybody laughed tons and left there energized and inspired, or so they told me.

Anyways, if you would want to see a full album of my pictures there, please go here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150624505010381.684125.691325380&l=7cd3ac155b
