Thank you to all of you who sent emails just to say hello over the holidays! I am doing my best to get through them all! It’s exciting to see the readership of this site really expanding in unexpected directions. Hush Puppies for example, found out that I love slippers and moccasins and kindly sent me a nice pair! Cheers you guys!
Just want to take a moment to wish you all a giant Happy New Year! I spent New Years Eve up on the mountain with my sister and hope to be up there lots over the next couple months, but rest assured I’ll be working harder than ever on the site! Thank you all for the support over the last six months – I look forward to inspiring you and being inspired by you all in 2009. Cheers!
I was recently asked by my friend Bob Kronbauer to be a regular contributor over on his new site, Club Mumble. Bob is the talented guy behind the Little Giants series which I mentioned before and I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of his latest project.
To give you an idea of the Club Mumble roster, let me just rattle off a few names: Michael Leon, Thomas Campbell, Don Pendleton, Angela Boatwright, Geoff McFetridge, Andrew Pommier, Kevin Lyons, Todd Bratrud… you get the idea, this list is no joke. If you’re into the art/skate scene you’ll want to bookmark it immediately.
Vancouver is finally getting some snow! Here I am looking very excited (and wearing the exact thing I am in every single photo on this website – it’s like I am a poor clown with only one costume). The reason I am excited is because this snowy weather can only mean one thing… (there’s a hint somewhere in this picture)…
Pencil Talk is your new favourite blog – well, for those of you still gripping the graphite on a daily basis.
A giant box arrived at my doorstep today, return address: Converse. I opened it up to find a pair of Dwayne Wade 4′s and a pair of Elton Brand 1′s! Oh and matching t-shirts! This site might not be making me rich but stuff like this is nice. Thank you to all the great people over at Converse! PS – If anyone over at Blackberry wants to send over a Blackberry Bold I’ll take good care of it! (worth a try)
Thank you to the 700+ who joined the Facebook Group in the last month. Some great links have been posted over there! I encourage any of you, seeking a creative community or looking to promote your own work, to join the family.
Finally! A blog combining two of my favourite things – no, not homemade spaghetti and cleaning my ears with q-tips – this one’s about art galleries and jumping!
Allison Reimus, creator of JumpingInArtMuseums has been inviting people to send in photos of their jumps for her site and now she is taking it a step further. Next Monday (December 8th). 6:30 PM. MoMA. There will be an organized art jump! So all you New Yorkers get out there – the meeting spot is in front of the Pipilotti Rist exhibit.
