A bunch of new boards are coming out now and plenty of surprises in the near future. Also Im in a show at the Compound tonight!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=62 Thats what CCS used to stand for. When I was a young skate rat I would get the catalog and stare at all the boards for hours, picking out all the stuff I wish I could get. A mere 20 years later and CCS is a huge mail order giant and no longer based in California. I still get the catalogs just to see all the new boards and what did I see in the new one but one of my graphics! Not that I can compare the Spot Seeker to a Roskop or Cabalerro but it was pretty to cool to see. Please support your local skateshop. ]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=61 I did this graphic what seems like years ago for my buddy Phil Ladjanski. Both of us are bigs fans of the dude and recently Phil found himself a new board sponsor with Substance. When I walked into Nocturnal the other day there they were! So psyched these boards finally came out! Wheres my samples Harley?!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=60 I did this one of Chris Shar a little while ago. The photo I worked off of was from this City Paper article they did on the band hes in. Anyway I thought it was a funny picture since it makes Chris look all crazed and hes such a mellow fellow in real life. Even though I felt like I fell short of capturing his full epicness Chris bought it anyway. The whole time I was working on it I was thinking of getting a picture of him next to it. Pretty sweet!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=59 Last night i went to see Tommy Guerreros blktop project which is him, Ray Barbee, Matt Rodriguez and Chuck Treece. The music was rad but what really impressed me is how much skateboarding has shaped all of our lives. Seeing skateboard royalty play on stage and knowing that we are all bros is a great feeling.The night before last i was skating around the city with Jim Houser and felt the same way. Skateboarding rules!]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=58 Since my show at Bennas Ive been getting back into the the computer zone working on new stuff for Traffic and a few other projects. The Moving in Traffic promo will be out soon and its awesome! Check it out. I just a got an opportunity to have another solo show in center city so it looks like Im going to be bouncing back and forth between the computer and the paintbrush for a while. Working on updating the site but until the redesign happens you can check out a few new paintings in the gallery section.]]> http://titanstreet.com/index.php?p=post&x=57 Hot on the heels of my show at Exit here comes my first show at the lovely Bennas Cafe .
