Already Been Chewed

With over 40 years of collective skateboarding experience at ABC, working with Rob Dyrdek and Street League has been a dream come true for Barton and me.  We have recently teamed up with Street League to create animated intros for the Monster Mic’d Up, Contest Highlights, and Monster Best Trick videos currently featured on Street [...]

We had a great trip up to Portland a couple weeks ago.  Barton was invited by MAXON to speak on his use of C4D for design, illustration and animation at 3DPDX, a user group for 3d artists, animators, and designers.  It was awesome to meet some great designers from all over the greater Portland area.  While in [...]

I worked with Stevie Williams to establish a personal brand that he can begin to display on various pro models – shoes, boards, watches, hats… you name it. Stevie is not only the founder and owner of DGK, but he’s always been inspirational to me having grown up only a few hours away from the [...]

Going into the shoot, Tractorbeam had no idea of knowing how much time they’d get with Dwight or if it would be on the fly. Once they arrived, Dwight was amazing to work with [...]
