I met my wife and for the first time I became focused. Around 1986, I started sending my artwork to skateboard companies in hopes of getting recognition. In 1987, I moved to California where I got a job working for Tracker Designs. Tracker Designs was at the time the largest skateboard company in the world, they published Transworld Skateboarding Magazine and the best trucks in the world. They invented OJ skateboard wheels. They sponsored Tony Hawk in the 1980's when only dudes like me knew who he was. Let me tell you this about Tony Hawk from the 1980's. He had a bowl ramp at his home allot of skaters I used to hang with went there. They used to say "That Tony Hawk he is so conceded, one time I cut out in front of him and he said don't you know I am the greatest skateboarded on earth?" You know what he was right. No one has done more for skateboarding than Tony has. In the 1980's while working for Tracker is when I went off the hook and did so much ding dang artwork. I mailed many copies to skateboard companies and originals. Tracker Put me on a contract and purchased a bunch of comics from me. I have a bunch from back then. It seemed like that is when I started doing really great stuff. To any artist to sell their work is a huge ego booster. I have been doing art like a machine since then.
