FABRIC

HALFPIPE

"California's skateboard culture in the 1970s was a part of my youth. My younger brother was a skateboarder and had no fear. Down the hill, near the bottom of Royal Blvd., one of our neighbors had built a halfpipe at the end of their driveway. The only halfpipes I encounter nowadays, are in terrain parks at ski mountains. I can barely maneuver on a snowboard, but my brother continues to attempt McTwists."

CALISOLE

"Calisole©" is inspired by the honeycomb and diamond design on the sole of the most popular sneaker on the surf & skate scene. Vans® were all the rage back in the '70s and still are today. The two-toned lace-ups were what all of the kids in grade school wore -- girls and boys alike. The checkered slip ons, are a personal fave. Skateboarding is rad, and the iconic waffle design on the bottom of the shoe reflects that. Both will always be part of the California soul."

HALFPIPE TWO

"This is the original sketch I drew when I was conceptualizing the Halfpipe pattern. The outline of the design shows the hand-drawn quality with its variations -- each halfpipe is different from the one next to it in the repeat. When the first round of strike-offs came back to me, I was so drawn to the outlined pattern, that I decided to add it to the collection. It's a subtle version of it's bolder counterpart, Halfpipe©."
