ハッピーバースデーデビッド David Plell!

This is David and today is his birthday. If you know David, you will also know that he's an amazing musician and friend and is one of the kindest humans you will ever meet. I remember one of the first few times I had met David (about 7 years ago), I bartered one of my art pieces for two of his band t-shirts down at the old Empyrean. I think I got the better end of the deal! We've been friends ever since. In September he flew in from Tokyo and played a quick show at Boots. It was a really nice warm gathering of close friends and fans. I know Tokyo's a day ahead of us but, ハッピーバースデーデビッド to the raddest David Plell!

THE COLLECTIVE PREMIERE

This past October 29th, 2013 our great community of skaters and skate lovers converged into the historical Garland Theatre to see the premiere of THE COLLECTIVE. A film presented by Pistole Boardshop, filmed by Mike Miller, featuring some of Spokane's finest street skaters: Andrew Moore, Johnny Helgren, Keaten Winger, Morgan Lassley, Korey Orloff, Taylor Lewis and more. The "more" would also include my boy Seth Ramirez. So proud of our skaters... our city. Great job you guys!

STUPEFY Round 2 in POLAND!

As most of you already know, last month on October 4th I was in my first out of the country film photography show titled STUPEFY in Bristol, UK. I wish I could have been there in person but was so excited to see my work alongside 80+ other amazing photographers worldwide. The photographers photos were also put into a rad little zine.

Well, to top it all off. I discovered that my "Invasion of Privacy" was selected to be apart of the second STUPEFY exhibit that was held on November 8, 2013 in Gdansk, Poland at a beautiful little cafe called Cafe' Lamus. That just blew me away! It was a real pleasure to be apart. Thank you so much OGA! I have to say, my doggie Wolfgang in the photo just passed away six months ago from cancer, so it's been neat to see him traveling around the world. :)

Hold Me Closer Tony Danza?

I know it's mid-November, but must post these Halloween photos of my one year old puppy.
Luna seemed to enjoy her mini photoshoot as Batgirl. Especially the fact that toothsome snacks were involved. She actually looked like a flying nun.

This also marks the first Halloween without my Wolfgang (RIP). He loved Halloween. Miss you so much buddy.

We can't stop here, this is bat country!

Caught up with Hunter S. Thompson this last Halloween. Took a couple snapshots and chilled for a bit downtown. Fun times.

Overabundance of Inspiration > Time = Damn!

Eight months ago I had a rad idea for a new series involving collage and painting with things I love (geometric shapes and designs, skateboarding, kittehs, rhymes, street art, flowers, VOUGE fashion, antique frames). I had to put it on hold, only to be motivated again to do another series after that!
So many inspirations in the sketchbook, so little time. I really hope to get busy this winter so I can have something fresh for Springtime. My art series always seem to overlap one another and my tastes so eclectic. Who knows what the end result will be. We shall see.

Hump Day!

 photo wubbyluna_zps05a63e71.jpg

I am beginning to think they named hump day after little Luna, because it is what she enjoys doing. Particularly on Wednesdays. This is not Luna humping Wolfgang, as I don't think it was on a Wednesday. It must have been a Tuesday. Baby Luna nursing Wolfgang's tail on Tuesdays. But that's another story...
