We’re extremely grateful for all the love the Audi team has showed us in the past month! It’s funny how things come together. Who would have thought the random post-it note doodles that I scratch out on pass time would end up on their Instagram!
It’s an honor and a blessing! Thanks for showing the little guys love! 
In this day and age, even a ten year old can find a nice comfortable place on the shoulders of the worlds most influential people. I’m sure you’ve heard quotes like this before, it’s been swished around and regurgitated in many forms, but retains one simple meaning; you’re defined by the company you keep.
For students, it wasn’t long ago when your growth and progression was defined by the level of competition and commitment within your classroom. Because of the internet, this no longer holds true. The players have been multiplied by trillions, and in order to be great we must realize that the battle extends beyond the walls of our universities. You’re no longer competing with lazy John who never turns in his assignments, but with BMW designers and other extremely established individuals. Social media outlets allow us to follow and expose ourselves to some of the greatest talents on earth, DO NOT take this for granted!
As a person who’s extremely passionate about sketching, I’ve been approached by many who are looking to fine tune their drawing skills. Unfortunately, I wasn’t born with a Prismacolor in hand so I went the 10,000 hour route. The only sneaky thing I did was have a few browsers open with Brook Banham, Chris Harsacky and Aaron Hughes (some of my earliest influences) sketches while I practiced. Remember, the world is your oyster. Run with giants and FUCK the boundaries! 
A quick update on the “Earn Your Stripes” prints! The design is finalized and we’re in the processing of getting screens made. Pretty 100lb French Paper is on it’s way (it won’t be boring black on white). The wait is almost over!
As artists and designers we’re fueled by passion and run on love. We have a strong desire to create meaningful things that make life worth living. But it’s also human nature to tread carefully, and wonder if our work is worth doing, is anyone listening, does anyone care?
Today something major happened, we received Audi’s nod of approval. It’s humbling and a great confirmation to keep pushing on!
This quote has many meanings but to me it’s about life experiences. I must admit I’m as guilty as anyone when it comes to judging things before truly experiencing them. Here’s a reminder for us all to keep our eyes, mind and heart open to the world we’ve yet to experience. Don’t let great people and opportunities pass by because we weren’t ready to open up and learn.
Live, learn and experience more, it’ll make our designs that much better!
A quick break from the studio in celebration of four-twenty. No worries we kept it real legal, here at CS we drug test the crew on the daily.
With a daytime and a night time gig we seriously work 25/7! After an extra long week, a little nature time with the pups was definitely necessary! A few quick shots from this weekend.
A little graphic piece I knocked out a little while back, finally getting around to finishing it up. We’re thinking of getting vinyl stickers and prints done! Stay tuned.
