Well kids, here’s the spread that started it all! Way back in the early days of the Bossman’s lurch from obscurity, a fine fellow by the name of Michael Brooke gave me my first shot at the big time with this kick ass two-page artist’s profile in Concrete Wave Magazine and subsequent 2008 CW calendar cover. Fresh off a face to face meet-up at the Downhillbillies Dixie Cup in 2006, Michael was cool enough to give an unknown nut-job like myself a chance. It marked the turning point in my skate-art career and gave rise to both Funhouse and my delusions of grandeur. I’d also like to thank CW art director and all around art wizard Mark “Markintosh” Tzerelshtein for his professionalism and courtesy. The guy is a class act!

Thanks to Concrete Wave Magazine and check back soon for this year’s 2009 cover!
