I wouldn’t normally post up a ‘guy in the sky’ photo, but in this case I’ll make an exception. I spied this photo of Davy Zyw of Britain rocking an old Agent in the London Frieze festival in one of the NY Times photo blogs, and now you can, too.
A couple pages for you this week…
“Death From Above”
“All or Nothing”
Some more samplings from my Do Something EveryDay sketch book.
“In-transit collage”
“Hippy Rorschach”
“NY Daily News front page headline” Seriously?
“Fireworks, and their effects on a sketchbook page”
Captain Al came by the office yesterday to put the finishing touches on his new Addictive Collection graphic (his current 152 can be seen here). All I can tell you about it is that when the photo session was over, the studio stunk like hell, and I got some mystery juice on my hands that is causing a rash. This graphic will be worth the wait.
The creative cycle here at Rome comes and goes with the seasons. For several months straight, it’s a nonstop barrage of pixels, paper cuts and everything in between. But once that last file is sent off to the factory, there is some time to recover. Not much time, but even a few days seems like a month long vacation.
Now don’t think I’m complaining about this lack of deadlines right now – quite the opposite. Things are still busy as ever, just in a different way. Approving samples, shooting product for the new catalog, and researching the next line is all happening right now, so the term ‘down time’ is relative.
Regardless, it’s been a couple weeks since I made something new. In an effort to keep the creative wheels spinning, I’m starting this new personal project called Do Something EveryDay. I picked up a nice little 4″x6″ sketch book with a ton of pages in it, and that’s just what I’m doing with it – making something everyday. No themes, no critiques, no nothing really; just something new, everyday. I twitter’d one of the first entries the other day, but figured i’d make this somewhat official on here.
So that’s it. My own personal deadline. I’ll be sharing stuff on here from time to time. Feel free to love or hate on it. Here’s today’s entry: Hang Loose
I’m back at the board factory this week, and while i’d like to show you all the sick graphics for next year, well, I just cant. Instead, you get this little montage of bits and pieces. I’m really hyped on how all this stuff looks thou, and I’m pretty sure that it will be worth the wait for you guys to see all this stuff next year. Until then, get out there and cop some new gear at your LOCAL snowboard shop, and for those areas that have snow flying already – get stoked! You’ll be shreading again before you know it.
The last of our late release boards for the new season are packed up and ready to go. Boxes of the brand new Garage Rockers and Postermania Wide’s are set to leave the factory today. These should hit your local shop around the end of October. If you’re interested in either of these boards, be sure to ask if your local Rome dealer has them coming in. Don’t sleep on these – only a limited number of each board will be available this year.
I honestly have no idea what’s going on here, but it’s pretty funny.
Place your bets, folks.
