November 26, 2008

Who would have guessed what a significant afternoon that would turn out to be... the first day I met Kyle Lightner and Griffin Neumann-Kyle; as well as Mr. Theo Hetherington.

What started out as a simple interview for Grass is Greener turned into years of friendship and collaboration. Don't know where I'd be without those dudes.

Cheers, Amigos... here's to many more years of adventure.

Kyle surfing Theo's stinger in Hawaii this week.

Theo just got married on Oahu last weekend. Congrats Amigo.

Photos by Theo's brother, The Walrus.

Also, Lightner has his Almond Trunks on... lots more pairs of those coming next week.

Just came across this photo of a Kookumber that Theo painted on a few months ago for a benefit.

Kook.

Sign Painting

Theo helped me paint a new sign for the side of the shop.

This is for sure my favorite photo of Theo. Taken by none other than a photographer from kylelightner.com. Muchos thanks amigos.

Vintage at Thalia St.

Theo is painting, The PawnShop Kings are playing, it's taking place at Thalia... what more could you need in an evening?

Mason Jennings x 2

Theo just did this painting of one of my all-time favorite musicians, Mason Jennings. Mason signed it, and it was donated to an event to help end youth homelessness.

Talented Amigos

2 of the most talented guys around... Kyle Lightner and Theo Hetherington, hanging out with me at the Almond Grand Opening in March.

Grass is Greener T's

So stoked on the first Grass is Greener T-shirt and hat.... take a look.

New Grass is Greener Art

Check out this new collaborative piece that Theo and Lightner put together for Grass is Greener.

Theo's art blows my mind.

Rad New Friends

So, I've been looking forward to meeting the Grass is Greener crew for a while.  They came by to hang out today, and we chatted about everything from surfboard design to spirituality.  I had a blast getting to know these guys, and about the possibility of some collaborative stuff in the future.

These are some super talented dudes with some rad things going on.  Take a look...
