They're right up there with Ben Franklin and soft pretzels. I have been fortunate enough to have worked on various projects for them over the years. Most recently I did a T-shirt design to celebrate their 88th year in business. Stop by the store on 1300 Chestnut and spend more than $50 and you get one of these shirts for free. ]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=48 Heres a little video I put together from a b.b.q. at Kerry's house last weekend. My first foray into video editing featuring footage from a pocket sized digi camera.

There are some of the new graphics in the same issue. Bobby, Rich and Jack all have photos in other mags as well! Check it out on trafficskateboard.com . I wish they would have ran some different graphics but Rick wanted to show a series with all 3 pros represented. Ive been super busy at 2one5 lately but all the stuff Im working on is top secret til 2009! Look for an ad in next months Kingpin too! ]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=43 Traffic just made some serious power moves by picking up Bobby Puleo and new acquistion and rookie pro Jack Sabback! Both dudes are favorites of mine so hooking up these graphics was great. Jacks got 3 graphics in the new catalog and is in Hong Kong right now fiming with 411. ]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=40 Ive been wrapping up a bunch of new graphics for these guys and assembling the Traffic 2007 catalog.

Ill be dropping some of the new line on here soon as well.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=39 Haveboard.com is back and better than ever. I helped Jon out a bit with the design end of things and I think it came together nicely. You can check out my skateboard wizardry on there or on this YouTube page. The best part about it how much this cellphone video looks like old vhs footage. ]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=38 Im finally posting pictures of some newer paintings. All of these are at The Gleaners on 9th & Christian right now. For some reason I didnt shoot pics of the drawings so youre going to have to go check those out. Going to try and update the design section as well so stay tuned.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=37 The board I painted for the Skateboard Scholarship is up on Ebay now.

In fact I had such an amazing weekend that by the time ol' Hallows Eve actually rolled around I was kinda over it and just sat around painting. I also just did an ad you will be able to see in the December issue of Slap. Also Im working on some illustrations for this company Apex Learning. Its about time to start thinking about next years costume.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=34 Angie Williams and I will be having a small show of epic proportions at the Gleaners running from October 27th to December 6th. A couple paintings from each of us and a handful of drawings including a couple of collaborations. We will be having an opening starting at 7pm on the 27th (which is last friday). Come by and check it out. 917 S 9th Street if you didnt know.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=33 I havent updated the site in a bit and this is part of the reason, Ive been so wrapped up in finalizing a product line, hunting for photos, dealing with team changes and getting the new Traffic catalog together and printed. Well it looks like everything is coming together for us and you should be seeing new stuff in shops soon with the video premiering around Halloween. Check out the product on the design page as well as a few new things Ill be posting in the coming days. P.S. Im taking a lil design hiatus an favor of painting everyday, which is nice.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=32 you can find a mention of Emily Glaubinger and myself in a little piece on the "Message in a Bottle" show at Minnow . Friday dont miss the 2nd annual Stick Up at Tattooed Mom after Tim Gough and Tyler Lucks' show at Jinxed . That may be a new linkage record for me!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=31 With the Traffic site up and running and the new product line basically done I begin the daunting task of assembling our new catalog. This is a big year for Traffic as we will not only be premiering our first video at the ASR tradeshow but also having a booth for the first time in Orlando. As for me, Im trying to pick up some more varied freelance clients and hopefully get up to S.F. for a couple days right before or after ASR. Not to mention the amount of work Ive been doing in my house, but thats another story.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=30 Another Haveboard/Titan Street collaboration! Read the sign punk! Before there was Jackass, before CKY, the was BIG BROTHER! This Sunday we present Shit and Crap for your viewing pleasure. Its gonna be some shit!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=28 A couple of amazing boards have found their way onto my wall recently. Check out the sweet Cabby and Gonz slick. The Gonz was in half though barely skated but i glued that thing back together enough to display pretty good. Im running out of wallspace and money! I can stop anytime I want.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=27 Check out this great website! Not only are they getting ready for a serious re-design but now you can see Traffic right there in the context of skateboardings amazing graphic history! SEE?! Thanks Chris! Keep up the good work!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=26 When my friend Carrie isnt playing kickball or making the best bags in the world for REload, or making things happen at Black Floor she somehow finds time to make things like my awesome birthday wallet and super-hero style utlity belts for her own label Fabric Horse. Her new site is up now courtesy of a Haveboard / Emily Glaubinger collabo. The best kinda jawns for real.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=25 Since HAVEBOARD is always dogging me for not having more content on here i thought id kill a couple birds by showing everyone this new "ultra limited" "hi-tech" full color die-cut haveboard shirt. It was done partly as an experiment but also just cause Im a sweet guy and Jons had a bit of strife lately. So here ya go. I promise more updates soon. Until then- STAY CLASSY!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=24 Last night was so fun. Thanks to everyone who came out to party down. I got to see a bunch of people I dont get to see to often and it was a real treat. Looking at the photos there was a lot of love going around, or maybe it was booze. Either way i had an awesome time. One question- who gave me the R. Kelly biography? My friends rule! SO MUCH! ]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=23
