BLOG ENTRY July 15. 2014. The last and final installment of my Brasil Adventures, powered by Converse.

this is the last and final Vid Blog installment from my adventures in Brasil. This one features Rio native and heavy weight SWK ( Santa Crew), the Mayor of Niteroi, PHAME 2DX and myself painting a wall at the tippy top of Rio's highest comunidade, Morro Dos Prazeres in Santa Teresa one afternoon in April of 2014, I tried to visually capture the incredible view but it really won't do justice, we where so high up above everything except the Cristo Redentor. I have a lot of people to thank for my trip and all the red carpets that where rolled out for me everywhere I went. Thank you SWK for the hospitality and the paint this day. Thank you PHAME 2DX and Mr.s Phame for allowing me into your home for 12 days. A big obrigado to the Ribeiro Academy I trained with in Niteroi, I spoke almost no Portuguese but you guys all still treated me like a brother. And most of all a huge thank you to Geoff Cottrill at Converse HQ for backing this entire adventure, without you this wouldn't have happened. Converse is doing great things lately, especially with Rubber Tracks Studios popping up all over the place, so I wish you all the best ahead.

BLOG ENTRY July 9, 2014 VISION STREET WEAR x EWOKONE Launch event recap.

Last Wednesday was the launch event in the Lower East Side for the Vision Street Wear x Ewokone Summer 2014 Capsule.... Below is a bunch of photos that where given to me to share with you all, Photo credit so far goes to Ian of East view Photography, Maria Delmar, and Joe Russo . More coverage will trickle in as time goes on and I will most likely drop 2 videos, one to recap the event, and one of the sold out screen print and the whole creation process that went into it over at TOTO .

Moving on, Wed. was an historic event indeed, many many iconic faces of NYC came out to support myself and of course the legacy and heritage of Vision. I have to admit this has been a dream collabo for myself and I wish the guys over at VSW all the best moving forward, I hope they have the freedom to keep doing good things and the door is always open when they want to come back and do more work together.. Vision is such a nostalgic brand for me that just brings back so many good memories of my youth, and just being in love with skateboarding every single day of my younger years, which ultimately lead me to Graffiti....

dive into these pics...

Lastly I gotta give a plug to the VISIONSTREETWEAR.COM website, where you can swing by and pic up the capsule for yourself while they last of course. Don't say I didn't warn you....
