DC Shoes – What Do You See?

This was a little web ad I did in January ’05 for DC Shoes. Not a big deal these days, but I was stoked at the time because my Flash skills were starting to improve. Still use the same basic techniques today though.

Billy and I go way back. Like ’85 back. Billy is another one of them dudes that I haven’t talked to in a bit, but our friendship will always be a good one. Too many memories and good times. BILLLLYYYY!!! This is a Louis Vuitton ripoff business card I did for him in ’03. My kerning could be a bit better.

Free Gerlach

The “Free” days were some of the best times (Early 90s). My first ‘pro’ advertisement came in the form of an ad for Surfer Magazine of Brad Gerlach (photo by Steve Sherman) doing a powerslide barefoot somewhere in La Costa. I did this ad on an old Mac IIci that had past through the hands of Ken Block (DC Shoes), and Ted Newsome (TWS / American Misfits) before it reached me. Not knowing too much about color correction, and limited use of Photoshop at the time, I ended up ‘posterizing’ the image to try and give it an old look – kinda blew it out, but without running a proof due to limited funds, it’s what we got! Thanks Ando for giving me the chance to get started!
