Solitary Arts - Things I Make for My Daughter by Geoff McFetridge for Apartamento Maga

Huck & Little White Lies

Our friend, Rob Longworth sent some good news the other day about the covers Geoff did for both Huck Magazine and Little White Lies.

…The cover artwork that GM did for our Spike Jonze/WTWTA issues has been nominated for a D&AD award, which is a pretty big thing in the UK… To even get in their book is a great accolade but to be put forward for an award is mega…
- Rob

In addition, Little White Lies and Huck Creative Directors Paul Willoughby and Rob Longworth have both been nominated for Designer of the Year by the Periodical Publishers’ Association (PPA)

A Visit With Greg Lamson at Galaxia Records

I drove down to Santa Cruz the other day to meet with some folks and my first stop was with our friend, Greg Lamson, who owns and runs Galaxia Records.

Thanks for the hospitality Greg and good to see you again.

Kenny Brimer Update...
April 28th, 2010

What’s up everyone…
Just got the results back from my bone marrow biopsy. 95% of the new cells took. They would have liked 100% but they said 95% is very good. I still have 5% leukemia cells in my body, this happens…what they do now is alter my medication. A lot of the meds I’m on is to keep the new cells from working too hard because they could start to attack my skin, liver and other organs. It’s called Graft vs. Host Disease. So what happens now is that they lower my medication to make the cells work harder to kill the leukemia cells but I’ll be more at risk for Graft vs. Host. I’ll be walking a very thin line. It’s not uncommon so I’m not too worried but so much for me flying right through this. What a trip, I’ll keep you posted.

Don Pendleton... April 3, 2001

I went through a batch of older folders a few weeks ago and found this envelope tucked-away from 2001 that Don Pendleton sent to me, full of awesome stickers and a little drawing he did on a hand-written note.

Been a fan of Don Pendleton, always will be a fan of Don Pendleton…

Most recently, he did this one below for lil’ Indiya. Mahalo, Don.

I also setup a complete Juice board this same weekend. I built the Jose Parla for Juice with the same trucks and wheels. Super stoked to add this to the quiver!

Hang-tags that came with the first three decks from Juice.

These decks are given away as ridable holiday gifts from Juice each year, gripped and ready to setup.

Mahalo to Juice for the decks over the years!
