New year, new prospects.
I’m not one to labour thoughts of new year’s resolutions, but I do like the shedding of the past skin and the soft optimism of the new. I enjoy the clarity that a moment of passing brings.
2022 was fine, but 2023 can be better (though I recall turning 23 many moons ago and feeling like it was a rubbish age to be. I think I just didn't really like the shape of ‘23’ as a number. Who knows…)
There are certainly some interesting things in the pipeline, one of which will be launching at the end of this month. Check back for more details nearer the time. I’m pretty excited about it. I’m also looking forward to pushing some ideas along that have been gathering pace for quite a while - a number of years in one instance.
I also want to put it out into the ether that I’m always just looking for interesting and creative things to do - new projects, new conversations, new conversations that lead to new projects. It’s honestly as simple as that. So, if you’re brewing something and think you might like to talk me about it, then don’t give it a second thought. Just get in touch. Even if I don’t turn out to be the right person, then I’ll almost certainly know someone who is.
One quick recommendation to finish - check out this interview with my old mate Danny Webster about the graphics on his pro-decks in the 80s. When skateboard graphics really had a story to tell.
