Way back before my career started at Nike I did this self promo art project where I collaged office pieces into the shape of Oregon. This project was used to get my name out and sharpen my graphic design skill set. A month or two later, I connected with Roc Nation signed DJ Mick Boogie. He’s most notably famous for his Summertime collaboration mixtape with Jazzy Jeff. I did a cover for him for the SunDance film festival back early this year. Fast forward to the beginning of this month, I had an opportunity to work on two different covers. One being called “The Race” found on the jumpoff I’ll post.
The more notable cover I got to do is this one titled “My Adidas” that is a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the song “My Adidas” by RUN-DMC. The launch day of the tape, Mick and I corresponded over e-mail and he told me DMC was with him and loved it. I was blown to pieces to learn this, the legendary DMC. I’ve reached another milestone in my career and am forever grateful for all the love and support. The work is featured on some big blogs I would’ve never imagined I’d see my work on like NiceKicks.com and 2DopeBoyz. Show some love, listen to the mixtape, share it, it’s free.

MUST WATCH: Pete Maravich’s 68 pts against the Knicks, shot for shot
Pistol Pete is an absolute #GotEm God. He’s in my Top 5 favorite players of all-time, and in my opinion, needs to be considered in the Top 20 (maybe 15?) players in NBA history, by the simple fact that he’s one of the top 5 offensive players to ever play the game. Maybe his defense was a shortcoming, but his specialty (offense) may never be duplicated ever again.
Nobody ever said, “Only thing Picasso could do was paint.”
Pete did it with style too. That’s got to count for something. Ultimately, basketball is entertainment, and you name me 15 guys more entertaining than Pete Maravich. The best 1-2 punch in basketball history would have been Pete Maravich and Sobriety.
I’m about to shut down Got ‘Em Coach, and reopen shop as FuckYeahMaravich.
