Inspiration.

I have a secret obsession with skateboard decks. To the point where I Google them and look at them for like a solid hour. Weird? Yes. But what draws me to them most is the incredible amount of art that is packed onto one small deck. During my daily skateboard art fix I came across this board. It's INSANE. Clayton Brothers collaberated with Krooked skateboard decks back in 2008 to create this gorgeous piece of work. Despite the fact that I do not skateboard, I want it!

Promise me you will spend 4 solid minutes soaking it in. It's worth it.



This video is incredible.
I LOVE seeing what other people are passionate about, and Mickey Smith's passion swallows you up in awe of the amazing footage he is able to capture. He does what he does because he loves it, without a fear of how small his paycheck might be. Such an incredible example of a person not afraid to follow their dreams.

Hope these inspired you as much as they did me!

Untitled.

This is the point in my life where I refuse to be frightened anymore.
It seems to me whatever intimidates you, happens to you.
Why that seems to be a reoccurring pattern in my life I am really not sure.
Maybe its God's way of filling the cracks in my character?
I have no answers for you or for me on this one.
But from now on I'll make it a point to go through life as courageously as I can.
