Making Paintings:
Working on Skateboard Graphics, Drawings, and Sketchbooks. Designing stuff that may (or may not) get built. Seeing other people's work and being both blown away, jealous, proud, and inspired all at once....Skateboarding with friends or skating alone solo session style - pushing my own limits and having fun...Roman and Egyptian Architecture, traveling to places that are both intimidating and exciting, Good free concerts and meeting up with friends that I haven't seen in months or years and picking up right where we left off. Spending quality time with my wife - working in the PONSHOP and having FUN. Mornings with my son when he's in his "happy place" and exposing him to all our music and books...
You and any other artists in any media from painting to film to photography to music to dance to drama - it's all inter-related....Skaters who are more down with having fun just skating and making friends. I'd also like to meet Chewbacca and give him a high five for not comin' off like a dud in any of the movies....

My wife, Scarlett for having a drug-free, no intervention, natural childbirth and delivering our son Diego safely into our lives, My Dad, Manny, for trekking 1/2 way around the world to marry the woman he loves and being an all around badass in his own way, All of those people in my life so far that encouraged me to go for what I know and head into the unknown with confidence and courage - Mom, Chris, Jason, my whole VT crew and of course my agent Dr. Reginald Trotts M.D. and personal assistant Mr. Martin Mouse.
