So, It's been about a month since I last left a post on this thing, which kind of lets you know how busy its been. I just wrapped up my dates on the Scion Heist party tour with Supreme, Lumin, Le Castlevainia, and Skeet Skeet which was really really fun. I met so many awesome people, and I really hope this is something that they keep doing, because it was really alot of fun. I really have to give it up to the people of Nashville, who really know how to throw a party. In between the last two Scion gigs I flew home to see my friends the Gym Class Heroes preform at the Wango Tango in Irvine which was really cool and kind of weird at the same time. I've never actually been to a kiis fm radio event I really kind of felt like a fish out of water. Anyway it was cool to be able to spend some time with my friends, and hopefully this summer we'll be working on some really big projects.
LRG has defiantly been keeping me busy these days. I just recently just finished shooting all of their fall and holiday lines which was taxing, but fun. It's always a good time when Tyrone and I can get together.
If you ever see the guys at Triumvir, please pat Brandon on the back and let him know that everything is going to be okay. I've worked with the boys over there on numerous occasions, and every time we do, it's defiantly a rigorous but, rewarding process. He just worries so much, it's sort of funny actually, but I guess thats just how he is. I can't wait for this look book to come out. so far everything is looking really really great, and I really enjoy the direction the company is taking.
Well, June is coming up, and it looks like it's going to be another crazy month. but I'm really excited, because ALOT of RVCA stuff is coming up, and I was actually kind of missing doing stuff over there as well as seeing everyone in the office I wonder if I'll ever get to take a break.

So, I'm back from some more exciting travels. Well, after my short still with my homies the Gym Class Heroes, I was invited to come out to work on another music video with them. Which was pretty incredible. I also went out to shoot the Scion Heist parties out in Cincinnati and in Detroit as well as help out on the new Cobra Starship music video which is being directed by my buddy Tue. Somewhere amongst all of this I had a birthday somewhere in there, most of it was spent passed out due to exhaustion. I like traveling, but I really miss being home. I miss RVCA, and I am glad that they have a little assignment for me tomorrow, because it has been a really long time since I've done anything with them. So thats pretty exciting. Also, Slam X Hype recently used one of my photos in a story that they did on Franco Shade which is pretty cool.

Whew, I have been out and about so much it's rediculous. I just returned from doing a stint with Skullcandy/Pony/nylon/Ruckus/Royal Elastics at SXSW which was incredible. I've never actually been out to that festival before, but now that I have, I don't think I can ever miss it. Right after I got back from that I was asked to head out to Miami for the Winter Music conference, which isn't really my cup of tea as far as music, but the people out there really know how to have a good time. I really have to thank Bruce from BMF and Aliex from Girlie Action for makeing everything go off in the music lounge dispite all the weather problems. I'll have pics of my travels up soon.
Upon my So Cal. return I was quickly scopped up by Travi and the rest of the Gym Class Heroes for a week of sold out shows all through out california. They also some how managed to shoot another music video during all of this, if you head over to thier Myspace account you can actually see a few pics of the shooting of the video for shoot down the stars. I was suppose to take some time off before my Bday to relax, but I guess it doesn't look like I'll be doing any of that, Scion and Revolt marketing just pick me up for their Heist Party series which will be takeing place all over the US during the next two months, and well, they only day I could make an appoointment to do my taxes is on my birth day... oh well, hopefully I'll get some money back.

Things have be going so crazy since I have returned from Magic, in Vegas. I really have to thank RVCA, Torsion, and Creative Recreation for making a lot of things happen out there for me. Well, not Creative Recreation so much, because their shoes are so hot that I can't really go anywhere without people stopping me asking me about my sneakers and preventing me from getting anything done. Rob, Rich, Josh, you all rule.
Recently I was fortunate enough to be able to take part in the RVCA signing at the Burbank Active Ride Shop. It was great, from what I understand, it was one of the most successful signings they have ever had! What was even better, was the fact that it was the entire team. I have to give it to Jimmy Ariggi for putting together a great team, I love those guys.
Oh, speaking of skate teams, I just recently wrapped up a shoot for LRG which was pretty fun. I haven't really worked with a lot of skaters outside of RVCA, so it was really fun to see how these guys work as opposed to them. It was definitely different, but just as fun. I have to give it up for my old pal Tyrone for keeping things going and for keeping things moving.
Big big things happening with me over at SkullCandy and hopefully with my buddies over at Pony. More on that later as well as my report from SXSW and Winter Music Festival. If you are ever in Florida, stop by and say hi to Randy Fuchs and all the gals over at Artist Relations, they are seriously some of my favorite people of all time.

I'm back now from Vegas where I attended a bunch of the fashion trade shows and got to see a bunch of things that are coming out next season. I was really exciting and got to meet tons of people as well as party it up with all my pals from RVCA, Torsion, and Heartcore. (jimmy is probably still sick)
I also got to shoot for my pals Creative Recreation over at The LRG/Dime NBA gifting suite over the weekend which was pretty awesome. I was also fortunate enough to meet up with Brad and the crew from Skull Candy who are super awesome and make a great set of head phones and other stuff ( I don't think I'll ever use a different set, it's that awesome!) I also got a chance to catch a sneak glimpse of Aaron Rose's Beautiful Losers film, and I must say I was really really impressed and moved by the film, I can't wait for it to get released, so I can take everyone I know to see this film.
Well, the site has been updated with alot of new pics, and hopefully will be update more frequently now. If you want you can check out the twins shot I did for Torsion in the latest Beautiful/Decay magazine. If you happen to be in LA before the end of the month, I highly suggest you go seen the Faile/Swoon/David Ellis show over at the New Image Art Gallery, it's pretty awesome.

Um...Wow, I don't really know where to begin when writing one of these things. RVCA is amazing and supportive as usual. I've started some new exciting things with a company called Triumvir as well as the boys in Panic! At the Disco. The live portion of the site has been updated with some images of my travels with the Gym Class Heroes and Cobra Starship. Enjoy.
