Were all very excited to share with you a short film myself with help from designer Tyler Morten made to preview the new catalog.

Portland Faces

just a short movie I threw together from my latest little trip to Portland for the snowboard realms .

 

why the moon

why the moon?
even when I was alone.
I never felt lonely.
I knew that when I looked up
she was there.
somewhere.

I remember sitting in a hotel room
missing her so much.
but I knew the moon I saw out my window
saw her too.

I felt warm.

“Dear Father” painting and video

September 11th is my Dads birthday
Around 3 am instead of sleeping I I found myself writing a story in my head.
This isn’t something unusual for me.
99 times out of 100 though I’ll tell myself “I don’t need to write this down , I’ll remember it in the morning.
I never do .
This time though ,
I got up and wrote down my idea.
A “poem” to my father early in the morning on the day of his birth.
and an idea for the movie.
close to 24 hours later at 4 am on sept 12 this movie was finished.
and 12 hours later its uploaded to the interweb to share with everyone .

tofino

Mark and his Girlfriend were headed to Tofino to Meet up with Kevin and Mel, so….. Kitty and I packed up and headed West. It was my first trip to Tofino in close to 10 years, I was stoked to get back in the water and have some fun in the sun.
Wish you were there.

A few weeks ago I had this dream….
A woman came up to me and told me I only had 2 weeks to live.
I sat down and started to write these loving letters to everyone important in my life.
I knew I wanted to paint something from that dream , and this is it.
She was so beautiful, She told me the news with tears in her eyes.
She said she loves me and there would be no more cries.
I haven’t painted a picture in over a week.
I’m happy I waited to paint this image.
I’m also happy to say I didn’t die.
