Had a paint session with the Dobell Bros. Chris and Stu down at the Brewery over the weekend.
I'm almost finished my part of the wall but eager to see what Morgan does with his side and to see the whole thing come together. Should be a nice piece when she's done.
An illustration for Transworld Skateboarding's /Got Mail, in regard to Pro's jacking their steez from unknowns. In this letter, dude is acusing buddy of stealing his purple jogger styles.
Went out and painted on the Wildfire Bakery last Sunday. Not finished yet, but the character came together allright. I painted a Kwakwaka'wakw chief with a talking stick. He seemed like
he might have something to say about all the noise down there. Hoping to finish this weekend.
Not sure what I'm doing...but it's sure nice to paint on a wall again.
Just finished these for Jeff at Zed Skimboards. Clean woodgrain tops with wall to wall full bleed Woodpile Collective graphics on the bottom. Utter Sickness. Dropping in 09.

Found this yesterday. It was part of a "Get well soon" drawing for a friend a couple of years ago.
This is a diptych painting of a trail up in Cowichan, 
Found these pics of some paintings that we installed in the downtown core a few years back.
The days are still shining but the heat has left us. The rains are washing 
The latest issue of Transworld Skateboarding is out. My illustrations are in the "Got Mail" section.
Val. Dude. What happened?

A painting that I did for an auction to help out a friend. Karma points are on par with air miles I think?
