Most parts on NonFiction are pretty much amazing. The photography is probably what sets it apart from any other skate video around. But watching this after about 10 years is really cool. This shit made me want to go out and see the world.
Man, I just downloading And Justice for All. I have to admit, I was totally taken back to when I was about 7 years old skating a rag ass quarter pipe down at the Martins house. I remember hearing the intro's to the songs come on from someone's house when I was younger. It was so heavy to me then, and know hearing it again it just takes me back to that moment.
Artropolis Chicago was this weekend and it was super dope. I picked up a Thomas Campbell print. I've been trying to get something of his for awhile now. Iconoclast came through. I was really impressed by the amount of work that was there. Tons and tons of work. Goodtimes! Here's a couple shots from the show... And an extended thank you to Sarah Howard from USF's Graphic Studio for the free grolsch tokens!

The old lady and I picked up some cruisers this weekend... The ride is smooth, the seat hurts my ass though... probably going to throw a new color on the frame and possibly get some bars. Also gonna throw some new brakes on her... Updates to come...
I was recently looking through some photo's on Flickr when I stumbled upon some frames that I recently noticed on my way home. Naz Hamid is the photographer behind the image below. Naz has some really good photo's and he's also a solid designer. I also found out through reading on his Flickr that he is also the creative director for GapersBlock, a real nice site dedicated to all things Chicago... Check out his Flickr to look at some great photos.
The premiere of Laura Zinger's documentary "Proceed and Be Bold!" on the life and work of Paul Kennedy will be held at Columbia College in Chicago on May 9, 2008. Hopefully, I won't miss this.

Got some good things happening pretty soon. New World Records brought me on to design the packaging of their rerelease of STAND "Transmissions". The CD will drop in about a month, can't wait to see the final product of that. I should receiving copies soon, I'll post photo's then. I've also been asked to design the packaging for their single "Dressed To Kill" being released soon. Photo's to come on that as well.
