A couple years ago I was introduced to Yong-Ki Chang of Solitary Arts by a mutual friend and writer Travis Jensen who helped him curate an art show at his space. After assisting in hanging the show he gave me the Big Red (pictured) and I've been having fun on it ever since. Over the years, Yong-Ki has become a friend and sells my photos and other jazz through his site.

Like any kid who gets stoked on something to the point of sleeping with it, I took a bunch of photos of my fun friend. The wide soft wheels make it grip the road and any small hill will put wind in your hair and bugs in your teeth. The Geoff McFetridge graphics don't hurt either.

Since I got laid off in December I've been spending some time over at the SF S.A. HQ passing time helping out, packing boxes, making boards and in some way trying to earn the board I was given. Yong-Ki's good taste in music doesn't hurt either and since he got the juke-box working it's been a gas.

Making pins.

Boards and boxes of shirts.

Setting up a Big Red.

Hardware, bearing press, shirt, Color Magazine cruiser wheels by Momentum and a bunch of stuff to make skateboards.

Ready to go out and make someone stoked.

Outside of the office is a phone booth Pnut Galinsky painted.

 Thanks again for the board Yong-Ki!
