so today I was off down south to do some work for my dudes over at Skullcandy with pro skater Pierre Luc Gagnon, or PLG as I guess most people call him. I didn't know too much about the guy to be honest with you, but when I asked my buddy Dylan over at Oakley all he said back was Woah, so I took that as a good thing. Anyway this is a pretty rough shot, that I just nabbed, because I don't really wanna spill the beans before the images drop. Anyway this shoot was pretty rushed and I was pretty bummed, because Pierre didn't have all that much time available to him, because of doctors appointments and things like that. So anyway I shot a bunch of photos and was bummed, he said that we could shoot again soon with more time available. Anyway he took I off, and I realized that he lives super close to DC Shoes, so I stopped by to visit and spend some time with them, because I hadn't been down there since I went to shoot the women's look book. During my visit, Pierre hit me up saying that he got out early and that if I was still around we could shoot more, so I went back and we were able to get a ton of much better shots. I'm pretty lucky that I like to dilly dally around alot, other wise I would have taken off and would have to have driven all the way back down to Carlsbad another day.
Anyway, here is a photo that I saw randomly that I shot with the new Mike Shinoda shoe from DC, Mike is actually wearing the shoe in this, believe it or not.
I'm hopping on a plane to attend this one tonight. Its gonna be a good one, so show up if you can. Oh, and if they ask where you saw the invite, don't mention that you got it from me.
Here is another Triumvir secret that I've kept pretty tight lipped about. This one was a bit easier, because everyone at least knew it was going down with Capcom and Street Fighter. Another thing pretty much everyone knew was that I was going to be shooting the stuff for ads. I've been shooting Triumvir's stuff for a while now, but one thing that everyone didn't know was that I've been working on a shirt for this, well sort of. I've been over seeing alot of art projects with my main man, Ray "ringboy" Young Chu. Everyone is pretty pumped about this one. I dunno if photos of this one has leaked out yet, but I don't wanna be the source, so you'll have to wait.
One of the cool things about this job, is that you get to see everything a LONG time before it gets to come out. I've know about Triumvir's new kick with Nike for some time, but had to keep it to myself. Even my guys in my own camp didn't know about it, but now that they cat's out of the bag I'm happy that everyone is as excited about this as I am. I have to admit that actually a bigger fan of blazers, but hey who am I to complain. This was the first shot that I did of this kick, and hopefully if all goes well, nike and myself will be going places!
Here are some snapshots of an article that came out recently in the latest issue of status magazine. This is a pretty funny one that I actually give a pretty large amount of info in. It was pretty weird to go through all those old stories and talk about it for everyone to read. I can't believe how long it is either. I feel pretty lucky to have had such good treatment by these guys, First they gave me a cover last issue and now this. I feel like one pretty lucky guy.
