For the last few months I have been desperately seeking inspiration and trying to surround myself with as many good people as possible. Our company is going through big changes. All of which are very exciting for me. This summer was about having fun, meeting people, and doing awesome things. I found a video online that shows to a “T” how i look at life. Have fun, Be creative, and surround yourself with good people.

Paper Fortress: 2009 – 2011 Reflection from Paper Fortress on Vimeo.

Over the past year and a half, I have had the chance to work with so many amazing people, and watch so many of their lives change either though building their businesses or through simply experiencing life and enjoying everything it has to offer. I cherish every single one of the people I come into contact with and I appreciate everything that these people have given me. From the long road trips and sleepless nights looking for hidden skate spots, to the countless hours learning about all the hard work someone has put into their art and business, I felt compelled to put together a reflection of my work over the past year and a half. I wanted this piece to reflect my work as a whole, but also show my love for the people I have worked with. I wanted to show them how much they have shaped my life, and how being surrounded by passionate and endearing people has truly made a difference in my life. I hope to never stop doing what I am doing, and that I continue to meet amazing people every single day.

Thank you to all the people who have made my life so wonderful, and thank you to all the people who have been supporting my passion and showing their appreciation for what I do. I hope to keep repaying you in every way I can, and I hope that you keep enjoying the work I put out.

This Will Destroy You – “Quiet”

myspace.com/thiswilldestroyyou

I wanted to start Freestyle Fridays because i spend a lot of time on the computer… Whether it be designing t shirts, editing photos, Buying apparel, or just surfing the web and looking for inspiration. From time to time i come across a picture, or a video, or a story that inspires me in a way i can only describe as lighting a fire under my ass and i cannot think about anything else. I need to show the world! Thank god for Facebook and Twitter.

.

So every week i am going to share something that inspires me to push my artistic boundaries. I want to show you something that lights a fire under my ass, in hopes that it sparks you to get out and get creative.

.

This week i decided to share a video that has been one of my favorties for quite some time. The idea of graffiti is taboo… i have been told for a long time that writing on the walls is bad. So the idea of creating something beautiful on a wall without doing any damage or vandalism simply astounded me and inspires me to want to tr a bit of reverse graffiti.
