He’s got really clean style, which seems to have flowed into the design of his pro shoe. This is one of the most unusual skate shoes I’ve ever seen, but for some reason, I like ‘em. [...]

I have never been able to draw, paint, trace, or color. As a child, it made arts and crafts very humiliating. That’s probably why I am fascinated by cool design.

Organized Crime Books and Movies October 28th, 2007 · 1 Comment
