Toes On The Nose

Jeremy Weiss and his son, Eli sent this our way today.

Eli’s been skating for awhile now (he’s almost 10 months!) but lately he’s been butt boarding on his own, and lot’s of toes on the nose when he’s with dad. He got a new Solitary Arts board last week he’s pretty stoked on…

Check out the full blog on Jeremy and Claire Weiss’ site, DAY19.
Make sure to spend a bit of time as I did as the photographs they take are quite amazing.

Mahalo guys!

Todd Francis x 3131 Clement Gallery San Francisco

Todd Francis & Ryan Kingman @ the Element office, prepping for the opening. That’s Kingman behind the Brazilian politician illustration (Bob Burnquist; Anti-Hero original graphic).

This photo ran in the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday, September 25. I fielded a batch of phone calls from concerned readers regarding both the subject of hacking pigeons on a chopping board as well as the Chinese man wielding the blade. Good times…

Todd completed the third of his three part “New” works here at the space.
