âQuick Strikeâ
When @dashawnjordan sent me his sneaker, I immediately knew I wanted to focus on one dope photo rather than the same detailed sneaker shots Iâve seen over and over. I wanted to keep the diamondback theme going and decided to make the SB look like a striking snake with the laces acting as the fangs. S/O @monyetodaaa for throwing the laces up over and over and OVER again until I got the shot lol
Dashawnâs SB is available the 14th only @facesskateshop & drops to the public March 17th - DONT MISS OUT ON THE DUNK OF THE YEAR!

Now that Iâm somewhat settled in my new Weehawken apartment (still no Wi-Fi until tomorrow) and I begin this new chapter back EastâŚ
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to anyone who had anything to do with my little success over almost five years in Los Angeles.
Growing up, I was as Northeast as it gets and never once contemplated moving to Californiaâlet alone Los Angeles. But five years later, itâs been the absolute best decision Iâve ever made. I moved to LA with no idea if anything would work out, and somehow, in the first few weeks, everything did⌠it all worked outâeven better than I couldâve imagined.
Shit, not only did things pop off for me, I got to watch Monica turn into the beast I always knew she was in her career. She had dope momentsâlike A$AP Rocky randomly bumping into her and blowing up her business, which at the time was just for her and her friends. That moment turned into celebs like SGA & Rihanna hitting her up for custom chains and GQ writing about Monigotchii. That shit just doesnât happen to everyone! Mix that with everything else, and wow⌠we got fucking lucky.
Not only did our careers flourish, but we both found ourselves, became better people, better friends, and a way stronger coupleâwhich means more to me than any career milestone.
I learned a lot about freelancing in Los Angeles. Youâll meet and work with some of the best people in your lifeâbut youâll also deal with some dirty shit, like record executives hiring you for gigs, never paying, and then playing victim when you try to handle the situation⌠but itâs all part of the game lol.
Iâve been in my writing bag HEAVY lately, and my main goal right now is to create/direct TV shows. Shoutout to my boy Jayden for getting me out the crib every Friday to link in K-Town and getting these dope ass ideas onto paper over some chai lattes lol.
Nonetheless, NYC inspires me like no other city, so I pray the ideas keep flowing for these shows, I continue to write some amazing shit that one day gets picked up â oh and follow it up with beautiful photography of course.
Here are some of my favorite photos from my time in LA (Camera roll editionâlooking through the Dropbox wouldâve taken ages.)
Danielle Pinnock @bodycourage at The Grove for the âNumber One On The Call Sheetâ activation by @mimoproductions_ Make sure you check out the 2 part documentary if you want to feel super inspired.
