If today I live my own version of the American Dream in California it is mostly because of my very first love affair: Skateboarding. Its multi dimensional artistic culture so deeply rooted in me shaped who I became and I will be always grateful it allowed me to become part of such a special tribe.

I will never forget my very first trip to SF and the sight of the EMB in my teenage years… A city where a decade+ later I met my better half and where my daughter was born...

So as I was about to photoshoot those stools, the orange and white colors stroke me as being "SF" so I took stuff from the walls and decided to do a special shout out to all riders and Bay Area lovers...

Thanks to Keith "HUF" Hufnagel as well to stop by my booth a few weeks ago when I was exhibiting at the Modernica factory. Our paths have crossed many times in SF in the 2000's to run again into each other in LA this time...
