NEW Skateboard Decks Have Arrived

More than a decade ago I began offering my art on skateboard decks in extremely limited quantities, as well as hand painting a few for wall displays. Now, I've partnered with a new company to offer these amazing, 7 ply Canadian maple decks in different sizes, and they're shipping NOW from Studio Collins.

The Gleeful Gator, Python of Paradise, and Dia De Los Muertos decks are 8.5", 8.25", and 8" respectively, and ready to add wheels and grip or hang on your wall. You can pick them up in person at the Riverside Arts Market almost every Saturday in Jacksonville, or at a convention in the southeastern USA. Check my website for event schedule, or order online now at http://www.useeverycolor.com

The 2011 G40 exhibit is now underway in Washington, D.C. Art Whino and Vitamin Water have teamed up to present an absolutely huge exhibit with around 30,000 square feet of space and art from around the world. G40 is broken up into different exhibits, each with a specific theme. This year I have a piece in two different G40 exhibits; the Skateboard Art exhibit and the John L. Sullivan exhibit. See more info about the G40 exhibit on the Art Whino website.

What I'm doing today

Yes, the title sounds so profound, but I just want to give a quick update of what's happening at the moment. If you are one who has subscribed to my Youtube Channel then you may have noticed I didn't do a video blog Monday or Tuesday. I am going to wait until Monday Jan 11th so I can finish up a few projects I'm working on.

Today I am hoping to finish a T-Shirt design I am creating for Ript. They are an online company that releases T-shirts for just 24 hours on each design. This makes the shirts exclusive and extremely limited edition. Please make sure you are following me on TWITTER, or at least signed up on my mailing list (top right of this blog) so that you will be notified when the shirt is available.

I am also working on a couple different skateboard designs with a few different deck companies. These boards will be available for purchase in limited runs so even if you don't skate, you can hang one on the wall as a unique way to own a limited edition print. There are out-of-print skateboards from the '90s I've seen selling for over a grand that were only $50 at the time they were in stores. That's better than the stock market.

I'm setting up an exhibit in Los Angeles with a gallery I have not show with before. Plus, in video blog 5 I will announce a huge event taking place in October, so make sure you are subscribed!

There are a few new things in my Etsy shop, so I will leave you with that.

God bless,
Bryan
