My new book, Ban the Fan, is now available worldwide! Any local bookshop can easily order my books for you with the title and my name (author). Bookshop.org is a pretty cool option to find my books. Or, find my books on all the big online booksellers in your country (like Amazon, Barnes and Noble,…

The book will also launch worldwide November 15 and should be available anywhere you like to buy books (local book stores can easily bring it in or all the usual online booksellers should list it). This…

A Couple New Animations
I’ve recently worked on a couple of animation projects. The first one is for Odyssey. They’re celebrating 40 years of BMX with a Vans shoe collaboration. For the promo they wanted to revisit some of their classic animations done by Jim Bauer. I was asked to replicate Jim’s style and that proved to be a…

Monty Lives!
I drew ol’ Monty on a shirt and water bottle (along with some others). I know it is kind of silly, but when I cartoon Monty memories of him swim through me head. It really does feel like I get to spend some time with him. You can check them out over on Fairdale Bikes.

Another Dropper Post Cartoon
Mountain biking is so full of absurd tech. Wireless shifting, laser guided suspension, and soft tires you have to pump up harder so they feel normal. Dropper posts seem like they would be at the top end of absurdity but the simple addition of an easily-put-out-of-the-way saddle adjuster makes mountain biking a lot more fun.…

A Christmas Card from Me
This is my card from this year. I sent out a bunch of them and if you didn’t get one I’m sure I meant to send one to you. *If I didn’t subconsciously rip this off from the Farside it sure feels like I could have.

A Holiday Card for Full Factory
Drew up this holiday card for Full Factory Distribution. Hope y’all have a great holidays!

New Shirts for Fairdale Bikes
I drew a couple new T-shirts for Fairdale Bikes. I think this guy is pretty cool. A rabbit in Samurai armor calling down the power of thunder via his carrot sword. Kind of fun to empower the meek little bunny with such a weapon! Check it on Fairdale here. I really like this giraffe in…

A Trick For Nico Vuignier
While working on the WOW video with Anthill I had the bad/good idea to animate amazing pro skiier Nico Vuignier doing an absurd trick (Nico has the raddest Instagram feed). And so here we are:

A Few Drawings for PinkBike
I got to do a few doodles for PinkBike on Jessie-May Morgan’s Anti-Rise article. She explained it well enough that I think I understand what it is now! And, that I will stick to hardtails for now.

Dig Fragments with Taj
My good pal Sandy Carson came up to visit and interviewed me for this Dig Fragments video. Talked about the old BMX days and drew him a giraffe doing a no-hander. Sandy’s band Skloss has a new single/ video too. I have a little cameo in it but more importantly the song and video are…
-
World of Wonders for Lenzerheide
I got to work with Anthill Films on a video for Lenzerheide. I drew some “wonder” on this poster and did some animation in the film. Nico Vuignier did some rad skiing. At one point there was a lot of animated chickens in the video but then we realized that had nothing to do with…

A Trick for Brandon Semenuck
This was a joke idea for a trick that I presented to Brandon during a ride in Bellingham. It stuck in my head and so I decided to animate at as a short. It makes me laugh and it jumped up over a 200k views on instagram in a few hours so hopefully that means…

A New Shirt for Fairdale
“Fine minds find good lines.” I came up with this slogan while working on a Vans project but have kept it for myself and Fairdale. I love finding lines while riding my bike and I think it’s the best feeling there is stringing together a bunch of things in sequence. I thought it fit well…
-
New Postcard for Fairdale Bikes
I drew a new postcard for Fairdale Bikes and the Elevator model. This is the MTB I rode this last season and will be riding whenever it gets a little warmer. Super fun, short-back-end, hardtail.

I Drew Tattoos for PinkBike
PinkBike gave away tattoos at Crankworx of my cartoons. Like real tattoos that people actually had tattooed on them, forever. I had a real laugh drawing these. There was 7 pages of flashart but above are a few of them.

Few Recent Doodles and Bicycle Film Fest
My animation about Greg Minnaar was added to this year’s Bicycle Film Festival. Thanks for the honor! Drew Santa on the Grim Donut for PinkBike. Also drew a new podcast title image for PinkBike with WAY too much detail. And a little Christmas card for Fairdale Bikes.

Dust In the Wind
The world’s had me down a bit lately. And I’ve been hearing from friends feeling the same (including one who woke up feeling alone next to a bag of potato chips). I sat in a park wrestling it in my mind. It was a green grass/ blue sky T-shirt kind of day in Geneva. An…

Geneva and Giraffe
I walked around Geneva with a sketchbook in hand and mechanical pencil in pocket. I let myself get lost by going where my feet took me. Every so often I would sit down and draw or write in my book. I find walking a good time to think up ideas that are quickly forgotten unless…

Dutch Urban Strike Force
I saw this kid’s smile first. I was coasting through a small town outside The Hague being a tourist and this irrepressible grin was beaming from across the sidewalk. It was one of pure joy that simply could not be contained. I inspected the scene and saw that it was a 12-maybe-13-year old kid wearing…
-
BMX Giraffe
If you wonder why I’ve been drawing Giraffe so much lately it’s because I’m working on a book with him. I’m excited about drawing him and each little doodle brings me closer to diving into the book’s final art. I felt roasted after my day riding through The Netherlands west coat dunes (Garmin says it…

Leaving Whistler
In the blink of an eye two and half months at Whistler have passed. Remarkably I’m still in one piece and feeling strong. My bike has not been so lucky. I’m not even taking it home. I donated what was still useable but there wasn’t much left. Riding the park understandably accelerated the wear on…

An Animation Project with Greg Minnaar
The recent World Cup Downhill race at Val di Sole reminded me of an animation that I made with Greg Minnaar. Greg had won the World Champtionships at the 2021 Val di Sole race but at the 2022 Val di Sole race he had a bad crash resulting in a broken neck. I interviewed him…

Few Doodled Thoughts
I still don’t like coffee but I do like getting out of my little airBNB and putting myself into a new place to tap into the creative inspiration offered up by people watching. My drink, which feels more like the price of admission to the coffee shop rather than something I’m really craving is: hot…
