Broken Bones and Lefty Doodles

So a few weeks back I took a spill while skateboarding and broke a bone in my hand.

But while my right hand is out of commission, I have been working on my lefty drawing skills!

Who wants a skateboard for Christmas?

Blasting over Bl'ast

My friend Eric sent me a bunch of nibs, so in return I did a drawing for him, based on the famous photo of Rob Roskopp doing a method air over the band Bl'ast. Er, well it's a famous photo if you're a middle-aged skateboarder.

I think he liked it!

And here are a couple of the many different nibs Eric sent me. I have mostly been using that Esterbrook oval point, but sometimes switch to the Tachikawa for fine details.

Night of the Living Shred

Come see me and my board at Maximum Hesh this Friday night for . . .

What Cyber Monday means to me

MICE was a lot of fun!

Thanks to everyone who came by the table! And thanks to the MICE organizers for doing such a wonderful job with everything. Bob Flynn and I drew up a storm, as seen below:

Summer is rolling along . . .

Moynihan Architectural Consulting

Harvard recently built a new skate spot! Unintentionally, I'm assuming.

This is why major institutions should be hiring Moynihan Architectural Consulting!!!

Hey, Sean Meehan finished his video about me. Check it out! Boards and prints are now available in my etsy shop.

Who Were Those Guys?

Doing this Kickstarter project caused me to recall something from my childhood—a rare sighting of a creature that I had not known to exist, and still less suspected that I might one day become . . . The Middle-Aged Skater!

Doodle time!

Some examples of the doodles I'll be doing for my Kickstarter project:

Kickstarter skateboard update #1

I had my birthday last week, so now I am an even-older 39-year-old skateboarder! I am excited that the project is going well so far.

I made this flyer to help get the word out about my project to more people. I've started putting some up around the Boston area. If anyone wants to help me out by putting up a flyer at a skate shop or park in your local area (or wherever you think would be appropriate), I would really appreciate it! You can download a printable PDF in a variety of sizes:
Tabloid size (11 x 17)
Letter size (8.5 x 11)
Half-letter (2 to a page)

Thanks a lot!
Dan

You're Not Too Old

This is a message to myself (and anyone else who wants to claim it for themselves!), painted on my most recently busted board. Here are some process shots. As always, click to zoom.

Happy Corduroy Day!

Yup, it's the date most resembling corduroys (11-11-11).

Did you wear yours today?

If you forgot, there's still November 11, 2111 to make up for it.
