Rob Kulisek | Liquid Salt

I just read the Liquid Salt interview with Rob Kulisek. Check it out, I think you will enjoy it.

He's a creative dude, and he's doing some really original stuff.

Among my favorite answers:

What are you most grate­ful for?
Being an artist, being left-handed, the gift of sal­va­tion, and being able to noseride.

Taylor Allee

Here's a portrait that Oden snapped of Taylor.

Gully Suit

Carl from Escential just made Gully a custom-fitted full suit for winter.

Fits so good, it doesn't even restrict his wings.

Weekend Recap

We had a blast at Sacred Craft this weekend. Met some great folks and hung out with some new friends.

Here's a photo that Zane sent me of Nathan at Sano for your viewing pleasure.




















Big thanks to Taylor, Oden, Carl, my Parents, Mochi, and everyone for helping pull things together for Sacred Craft. It was a super exciting weekend.
