If you received a magazine invitation for 2026 it’s most likely because I already spoke highly of you and I plan on introducing you to great people along the way. Thank you for your consideration.
I don’t think I lose anything showing the love and appreciation I have as life goes on. I understand my one way effort, and I let that do what it does.
The credits & shoutouts are always on everything necessary but I’m glad I didn’t waste time when it mattered and got to people that looked forward to the work.
These are super hard pages but it’s really a shame that I couldn’t add more from 2023/24. I’m definitely making an extended re-release version later at some point.
I never used A.I. for any of the artwork. All of the elements created, color coding, sizing and photos are original works. I don’t think it’s a big deal to mention but I think I should mention it somewhere.
There’s a lot of changes generally that are being made for summer but more room is being made for single event collaboration and long term projects. The group updates will have that info more than the socials.
In the brand groups (Discord, IG) I’ve been sharing all of the new magazine and skate design updates for this summer and some variations that might not be part of the future store but buyable as a custom order.
It’s important to let people know you’re focused despite the noise and distractions happening. I like pointing out what’s possible and available to lock everything back in.
New Phase 2 of the Back Cover for the Season 2 MAG posted in Discord. 1-2 more design updates on the front and back and it might be wrapped up this weekend.
Last April 2025 it was a real life honor to have been invited to the Florida A&M University CSSAH Alumni Reunion and meet the enshrinement group who contribute consistently to the state on and off campuses.
Being part of the experience was a life changer. More on IG.
Just added the first phase of the Back Cover draft design to Discord for the Season 2 MAG. Front and Back designs should be done this coming week to weekend at the latest.
@andtheniflew I’ve bought people equipment they couldn’t afford for jobs, Volunteered for youth programs, physically helped build and fix workplaces, promo’d people who didn’t believe in themselves.
Real question is, what have I “not” done? at this point.
