THE FTC X BURTON JACKET JUST ARRIVED AT THE SHOP

FINALLY, WE HAVE THE BURTON JACKET IN THE STORE. I WAS STOKED TO GET TO DESIGN THIS ONE. KEPT IT PRETTY SIMPLE ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE I DID A SMOKE PATTERN. THE SMOKE PATTERN IS IN THE ZIPPERS AS WELL...COMES WITH A 3M REFLECTOR PIPE ON THE BACK FOR THE STREETS. IT CAME OUT PRETTY SICK CAN'T WAIT TO ROCK THAT ON THE RIDE.

MY LUCKY HONU

FINALLY FINISHED A WATERCOLOR PAINTING FOR MY BATHROOM. I WANTED TO PAINT THIS EVER SINCE I CAME BACK FROM HAWAII. ON MY LAST TRIP I SAW 3 TURTLES AT SEPARATE TIMES, SWIMMING NEXT TO ME WHILE I WAS SURFING. THEY SAY ITS GOOD LUCK, OR WATCH OUT THERE'S GONNA BE SOME SHARKS COMING. MY HOMIE OUT THERE SAYS HE NEVER SEES THEM WHEN HE SURFS?

Typography Tuesday on a Wednesday

Found this over at trackasaurus:
"Marshall Major Taylor, renowned as The Fastest Bicycle Rider In The World in the early 1900’s, accredits his success as a world champion to the value of good habits and clean living.

I love his list of rules:
Don’t try to “gyp.”
Don’t be a pie biter.
Don’t keep late hours.
Don’t use intoxicants.
Don’t be a big bluffer.
Don’t eat cheap candies.
Don’t get a swelled head.
Don’t use tobacco in any form.
Don’t fail to live a clean life.
Don’t forget to play the game fair.
Don’t take in unfair advantage of an opponent.
Don’t forget the practice of good sportsmanship."

They did separate posters for each of his rules! Bike shit and type shit can't beat that!
