Merry Christmas, y'all. Thanks to those who swing in from time to time.

So much gnarlier than that Alice Cooper bullshit.

The longest stretch I've ever endured without a motorcycle was about 4 months. After 2 months I was starting to get pretty grumpy. By 3 months I was losing my desire to live. And around 4 months Heidi demanded that I go buy one or she was done. Heidi's a champ like that.

Anyway. My new (to me) 93 HD FXR is finally off the lift and ready to roll. Ready enough, anyway... still a lot more to come. Watch for more over on the Bolts chunk of interspace.

I should be able to focus on the rest of life a little better now that I've finally got my scene back in check... I'm back, bitches.

Sorry for the absence.

The Art Of Rebellion, Round 2.

* * * * *

I was recently invited to participate in Round 2 (Round 1, here) of Harley Davidson's "Art Of Rebellion" shows, featuring fellow photographer Adam Wright of Hauler fame, and artists Frank Kozik, Tara MacPherson, Brian Ewing, The Harpoon, Derek Hess, Lindsey Kuhn, The Pizz, John Van Hamersveld, Dirty Donny and Art Chantry.

Above is a video that Vice Magazine produced of the event. Check it out. If you hold out for 2 minutes or so, you can catch the 8 seconds of my drunken interview that made the cut.

Big thanks to Terry and the rest of the HD crew for another amazing opportunity to show with another crop of amazing artists.

Heidi and I are back from New York City. We did what we could for them... the rest is in their hands.

Full write up on the show, the shenanigans, and the degradation... (second)coming soon.

Saturday Night.

I'm about to hop a plane, so this is my last chance to remind y'all:

Last time was Santa Monica... this time, we're takin' The Apple.

New York City, Saturday Night.

Free beer.

Rad artists.

Be there... I'm taking roll.

Pleasure.

*****

A while back I had the opportunity to shoot portraits of snowboarder Jeremy Jones for Pleasure Magazine out of Germany. This was my first shoot back to work after the accident. It was a long, late shoot, and none of the shots that we went out planning to get were happening - seemed to be gettin' shut down at every location I'd planned for one reason or another. But Jeremy's no rookie, and he knows what it takes to get the shot, so we pushed through and made it up as we went. I'm pretty stoked on what we got. The issue dropped in Europe yesterday, I believe. I don't know if it's possible to find an issue in the states, so here's your chance to break out the German-English dictionary and find out what the most progressive snowboarder alive had to say to the euros. Get into it. It always feels rad to see my shit in print... never gets old.

Action shots were handled by the guys who do that shit best --- Dean Blotto Gray, Andy Wright, Mark Welsh, and Pasi Salminen. Stoked to share space with those names, for sure.

Thanks, Jer.

End Of An Error.

Geek out on that. I'm off to Portland...

Found the new scoot yesterday, via Craigslist. Hoppin' in a rented Dodge pick-'em-up in about 30 minutes... gonna drive 13 hours straight, hand over a little cash, load a bike, take a 5 hour nap in the cab, turn around and jam 13 hours straight back home...

It's been 2 months of broken-ism and bikeless-ness, but shit's about to turn.

I'll have pics for y'all as soon as I'm back... bike above is not the bike in question --- just a winner to keep y'all interested.
