2026’s first snowstorm and Winston did NOT disappoint ❄️
Skiing. Snowboarding. Pilot Street turned into a slope real quick!🎿
No lift tickets. No mountains. Just vibes.
Only in Winston-Salem!
Joined a COD trick-shotting team to channel my 15 year old self last year. Made some cool friends — so we made a comeback teamtage and I wanted to make some memorabilia for the team members. I spent so much time trickshotting as a kid and never had a piece of history for it… @mitch.foust and I created an entire video game case, poster, booklet, and playable disc with the tage. wanted to ref the old skate dvds 📀 Did a mini rollout of posters across the city and other content for the team to support the rollout. Working to get these shipped out to the team in the coming weeks. Really enjoyed bringing this to life, just making art for the soul to smile. The young me would say —— this is beast!!!!! Checking designing a game off the list, never thought we’d do this for trickshotting. 👽🛸 on 2the nexxx 🧑🎨🎈🤓🎨

Join us on the journey of shaping the future of our city. Together, let’s make a difference!
One year today, I was called and told I needed to have a biopsy for lymphoma. More or less saying they expected me to have cancer based on my CT scans. The days following that call was the lowest moments I have ever felt in my life. Today, I am proud to look back and proudly say cancer is no longer in my body. 100% in remission and healthier than I have ever been. I am blessed and beyond thankful for the support that was around me during this time. From my friends and family, there was an outpour of support and love and I cannot thank everyone enough. We won this battle together!! God heals physically, but he also restores spiritually. This trial has taught me to put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ in everything I do. Although this was the hardest thing I have ever went through, it was also the most rewarding at the end of the journey. It has helped shape me and mold me into the person I WANT to be. I feel the best I have felt in over 2+ years… so I’m getting back to everything in a new light and perspective. Love all of y’all. let’s get back to it 👽💎🦾🙏🏻🤲
I debated sharing my journey online, but I’m confident in sharing as this is apart of me now. I was diagnosed with cancer (Stage 2 Classical Hodgkin’s Lymphoma) on March 11th. A little over a month ago. Today marks the beginning of my chemo treatments. This journey has been tough but none the less amazing. My perspective on life has changed in such a short time and my relationship with God is stronger than ever. It has allowed me to reevaluate the important things in life and connect with people on a deeper level. This cancer does not define me, but helps shape me into the man God wants me to be. I have full intentions to come out stronger than ever and beat this disease. I’m on God’s team and with him being FIRST anything is possible! Thank you to everyone that has reached out and supported me so far, the love has been amazing and I can’t thank everyone enough. Life is precious, please, never take anything for granted. Even simply just being healthy. Another day lived is a reason to rejoice ❤️🩹💉
been very quite lately, I hit rock bottom after completing F/W 19’ last year. Since then I’ve been at the lowest point in my life. I lost confidence in myself, my vision became blurred and I lost sight of who I was. I’ve been slowly overcoming it by focusing on what defines who I am. It took a huge toll on my mental health and caused me to fall out of touch with a lot of things. It caused my workflow to slow down tremendously, which has only affected me more. These past few months have been the hardest time in my entire life... but I’ve had to remind myself to keep my head up and keep pushing no matter how you feel. The past week or two I feel the energy I once had slowly coming back. All this being said, just wanted to share where I’ve been, never really post much about my personal life but I’m gonna start showing more. I’m coming back harder than ever with fresh perspective to how I do things. New styles, new concepts, and most Importantly a new and improved version of myself mentally and physically. Thank you to everyone who supported me this far, you’ve allowed me to do what I love since I was 15. Always remember, finding balance and happiness in life is all that truly matters. Chase what you love, but never lose sight of who you are while doing it.
