Had to post for some street cred

I really want to comment on your wrist guards, but we're old.

Got the newest rounds of proofs from the Creative Director last night and have a call with her this morning to go over a few finishing points.

Got the rough sketch for the Character back a few days ago and He is taking shape, hired a tattoo artist to take the AI concept into a real art rendering.

Have several quotes from OEMs that I am evaluating, as well as still hand making skateboard wax pucks>

My filing is all over the place, so I am cleaning up the structure and making sure that the Brand Doctrine, philosophy, and operating instructions all have a unified voice, so that I can create the final draft of the core LLC documentation

I skated for a little bit, after Back to the Future came out. Didn't last long, unfortunately.

Once you have merch, I'll definitely be supporting you Tim!

You should have married an accountant like I did.

I recommend that to all young men I meet.

Just a quick check in
I have decided on my OEM for the decks, I have about 30 wax pucks that I have had formulated and poured, I have finilized pretty much the logo, now have to get the various lock-ups created.

The big hold up is funding, but I am getting there slowly

spent most of the last 2 days teaching myself Inkscape so I could finish the logo work.

Transpartn backgrounds dont work so well, in here, LOL
There are 2 of the main lockups

Love seeing the progress! Once you have a merch store up and running, I will buy some stuff.

I don't board, but will help support a BOTL as much as I can.
