So stoked i get to finally share this! Around the end of February early March was asked if i wanted to do a T-shirt Design that would go along with Nordaās 2nd shoe release the 002. Worked on it most of march, and from there waited, and wondered when:)
Waking up the other day and reaching for my phone and seeing the group of runners wearing the shirt in action, was so heckinā dope! Totally caught me by surprise.
For my friends that know me on a personal level, yāall know how much footwear has consumed me from my late teens all the way through my 20s. So to be asked to paint a design for a footwear brand like Norda is really a overwhelming feeling of joy. Still trying to grasp this feeling in my head lol. Big olā thank you to @adamvoidoid for being a big supporter of my art over the past couple of years, and @nordarun for giving this opportunity. Thankful, and Grateful šš½āØ being in Japan getting this news is pretty rad. Will be home soon.
Slides 4-7 are shot by @payette
Finally made my own bootleg Bart graphic. Hopefully Iāll print this on shirts. Painted it with 4 colors. Neil Blender, Bad Brains, Barsinso inspiration āØ
Today marks 5 years of being alcohol free, nor have I part taken In any party favors or hallucinogens either lol. Every year I state this. I get a couple of DMs asking me if Iām 100% sober, which I never claimed, and I think the term California sober is the lamest thing I have ever heard.
Anyways, Iām glad that my 30ās have been the chillest years so far. Grateful for my family, thankful for the small group of homies I get to hang out with. Thrashington park homies motivate me to keep skating. Reconnected with so many homies from the past this year. Stoked on all the new homies Iāve made these 5 years, and never had to experience a crazy obnoxious version of meš
āClear Blue Skies in Tijuanaā Trepes is my favorite style of tagging based in TJ. You can see the dude hanging off the roof catching tags. Tebeo el raton is from club infantil on canal 12, used to come on Saturday mornings when I was a kid. La mona de Tijuana is actually a house. Would see it every time when we would drive from Otay to downtown. The calafias have that distinct shade of red and yellow, with awesome hand painted lettering and funny/cool stickers on the windows.
Slides 4,5,6 are photos I took with my momās digital camera about 21 years ago. Otay, and Villa Fontana
Most of the tags are referenced from a photo book called āTrepes: Las Cochinadas de Tijuanaā one of my cherished books in my collection. (All photo books) š
Tijuana is not a scary place. Donāt be scared to visitāØ

Had this sketch of Jesus with a cactus growing out of his forehead for some years now, and never knew how to paint or incorporate it into something. This painting has no meaning or depth. Some of the stuff are souvenirs that I used as reference. The plants are from a photo I took when I was in Anza Borrego:) When I was drawing Dr. Simi with the cross ābelieving is healingā popped up in my head lol. Figured since itās the holidays Iād finally finish this painting.
2025 was bit weird, some what annoying at times. Not bad when it comes to my personal life. Have a safe and fun last couple of days of this year āØ
