Hernando Skates Fundraiser

Hernando Skates hosted an art auction Saturday night.  It was a fun evening with some good artwork by skaters and non-skaters alike.  Below are some of my favorite pieces.  I ended up buying a painting of a truck by Wrex Cook, and I was stoked to find out that the wood used as a canvas was from a ramp.  Perfect.  The fund raiser pocketed over 1,500.00 toward the Hernando Skate Park project.  I was very happy to be a part of the event both as an artist and art buyer.

I donated one of my Rothko inspired big pieces

Middle painting by Jon Willingham

Glad it sold, but is it okay to admit I don't get this? Bean plant over the ocean?

Lemmy.  Forever cool.

Light switch cover?! Rad.

Sunday Funday

Good people to skate with, a fun Sunday session, and cupcakes.  What more could a guy ask for?  A little belated birthday celebration for me?  I was stoked.  Even got a new shirt (thanks Wrex and Kim!)!  I probably didn't show my gratitude well enough.  I was a little embarrassed with the attention.  Thank you everyone for coming out today and skating with me.

Jonathan acting a fool.

I'm still addicted to learning kickflips on banks.  Next deck, I'm going with an 8.5 to see if it helps out.  Just about have 'em figured out.  I was never good at flip tricks.  I guess I'm learning to be patient. Ha!  Flat ground, I got 'em.  On a bank?  One out over every 5 right now.

I had to leave a little earlier than I wanted.  Old man wasn't feeling too well, but I had a blast as always.
