Cira Center Install Photos. Paintings by Mike Ski on Barnwood Wall by Ben McBrien. Detail of Laser Engraved mattes.

i held off posting these since the quality of the pics could not possibly get worse.  my phone has a solid pound of sawdust packed into the camera lens. 

anywho….this is a record storage cabinet for the vinyl selection of some sweet friends Keith and Rita.  Kieth is the front man for Prowler and an artist who’s works appear in the village voice and shit.  rita is just cool as shit as far as i know.

Reclaimed Is So Hot Right Now!

this is the entrance to Leadnomics Corporate Office in the Cira Center that beautiful prism shaped highrise at the western edge of center city, Philadelphia.  they were not pleased with the headache inducing wall paper and asked that i introduce something warmer and more inviting. 

this was the result, a mix of various salvaged barn siding and bead boards from just a little further west in berks county.  the curved wall is 8’ tall and 18’ long.

My First Cover

French magazine Surf Session just came out and shocked me with this little gem.  my trip to Alaska 3 years ago.  Sure it’s not SURFER mag but i’m more stoked on this than any surf shot i have ever had published.  this wasn’t technically my last surf trip but to me it represented the end of my surf career and what better way to cap it off then to get my first cover on a wooden board that i made.  STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Princeton, NJ staircase by Bill Curran Design.  I had the honor and challenge of installing the Ash treads and bridge deck amongst other projects at the converted barn.  All the wood was milled and finished by Pappajohn Woodworking.  After every step i installed had to back up and stare at how beautifully everything fits together.  Stoked i get to work on these kind of projects.  now if i could only find the time and $ to have one for myself.
