One of things that I an most proud of that I accomplished with the Benny Gold brand was the artist collaborations. @morningbreathinc guest artist series. #bggliderseries https://www.instagram.com/bennygold/p/BwAVRw-FRoQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6l12ukoobpig

Each collection we feature an artist that inspires us. Giving them the freedoms to re-create our iconic glider plane that started the brand, however they choose. . . .

With all the transitions I have had lately, I find myself being reminiscent of how I got to this point in my career. My origins trace back to my days studying design in Savannah, Georgia. My college years, where I was surrounded by art, design, and skateboarding. I met a lot of great people during those times, and Jasson Filipow of @p1brand was definitely one of them. It was great to reconnect with him over a few amazing curb/coffee sessions in LA and work with him on a guest artist series for my brand. Thanks again Jason, for being a part of my story then and now! | #bggliderseries https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_Hp7alxtU/?igshid=c0c152tls2c9

In 2010 the UK design studio @ilovedust was becoming recognized globally by doing great work for Nike, Coca-Cola and Levi’s. How I talked the founding members Mark and Ben into designing a shirt for my first store opening is still a mystery to me. I really appreciates the support they showed me then and now - thanks guys! . . . #bggliderseries #staygold https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrsvP0FGNW/?igshid=13n7jvfgprbdi

This guest glider collaboration comes from one of my favorite artist / designer's, Kimou Meyer aka @groteskito. He is known for his work with Zoo York, Nike and even Spike Lee! This is the first time that our glider plane gets realized as a 3d model – It's really cool! | #bggliderseries https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGD9IlFIHS/?igshid=163jmtgv8yojo

A lot of people have inspired me along my creative path, but I can say with all sincerity that I would not be where I am today without the art and design of @thisisandyjenkins. Growing up so far removed from California and it’s skateboarding community, I devoured every bit of information I could through videos and zines. It wasn’t until I came across Andy’s monthly comic, Wrench Pilot, in Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I would redraw his character, Lettus Bee, on my school notebooks in my efforts to identify with the elusive culture I longed to be a part of. Thank you Andy, for providing the spark that propelled me on this journey, and especially for being a part of my Guest Glider series so many years later! . . . #bggliderseries #staygold https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtQRm3FZYz/?igshid=kj3gflkgdtbh
