For the past few months I've been tinkering with a PWA/site to help local mountain bikers find places to ride. I'll write a blog post on this later (around my data capture tools). Check out "Erwin Park" and "The Edge Skatepark" to see my captured data (maps, POI's, photos, trail lines). dfwmtb.com

*Tap Tap* Anyone in here? It's been awhile since I posted. The new year is around the corner and we as a company are trying to get back to what feels like normal. I hope 2026 is going to be a great year. I'm going to work/fight hard for it. 👊 PS. I miss the old (pre-algorithm) days of Twitter.

Screen printed a new shirt design. Used plastisol and a 3 color design for the first time (2 colors on this white shirt since I didn't have to print the white). I prefer the look and feel of water-based paints, but this stuff is great when I want really bold colors or need to screen multiple colors.

Had an idea of turning my logo into a kitsune mask, but just wasn't quite happy with how it was ending up when sticking with too many constraints. I really like the end result (second image) even though I had to stray further from my original concept. Going to use this for some fun things!

Some of my latest hats. I love the details I was able to get in the patches in the 3rd photo, but I made the patches slightly too large for my taste so I didn't end up using them. I'll have to make them again at some point, but slightly smaller.

One of the procreate sketches I did while trying to brainstorm how the "reincarnation" of Tweetbot would look like in the form of a phoenix. Wanted the shape of his head to somewhat resemble the "P" in the Phoenix logo. Not looking forward to doing a proper model/rendering in Cinema4D. 😅
