Make It Count

Skateboarding has always had a spot in my heart (even though its been nearly 10 years since I’ve been on one) and has served as one of the foremost sources of inspiration in design for me. When I was younger and shopped for decks out of the CCS catalogs, I had no idea what it took to make it happen or who made the art. Now all of these years later, it seems that most of those people are akin to my heroes. It’s great to see that these stories are being told and will hopefully usher in a whole new era of inspired kids to make art, start companies and stay productive while doing what they love. The irony is kind of amazing.

The full feature release will be available for free on the Element site August 1, 2009.
