I am often tempted to make this into a proper blog where I focus on hacking my way through my thoughts. Goodness knows there’s enough ideas floating thru my head! Might be therapeutic to keep this journal up to date with adventures out in the real world and in my imagination.

Book are all back in stock on my store. I have so many other book ideas boiling up, but since I keep wanting to ride the dirt jumps I never seem to have enough time to “make them real.”

Drew up some waterbottles for Fairdale.

And a little sticker for the Shire jumps in Bellingham. There is a such a good, welcoming crew of riders out there. A central point of those trails is an amazing domed concrete pizza oven that they build by hand. I’ve enjoyed a few pizza-nights out there, and so the pizza on a BMX makes sense.

My Fairdale signature model, the Taj, is out in a new Xerox White colorway. The really fun part about this model is that I made the graphics in the authentic 90’s zine way… tearing paper, copying things, dragging images along the copy head as the copy drum scans. In a world where I spend too much time on computers it felt great to make something by hand.

And, I shut down my Instagram. I didn’t quite delete it, but I pulled off all my old drawings and have stopped using it. I do feel lighter without it, but I sometimes miss the rare occasion where I see something from a friend on there. We’ll see if my sabbatical lasts.
