So it has been (no pun intended) a busy couple months for us

Sorry for the lack of blogage. It's not that we haven't been up to anything, we have just been busy. I hope this makes it up to you all.

We helped out our friends at Burnside out and printed the 20th anniversary shirt, with original art from Bigfoot himself. (http://www.bigfootone.com)


We threw our own Halloween party/ art installation "Nightmare On Couch Street", with original art from our friends Neil Perry and Susannah.

We took part in the Annual Adidas Holiday Craft Fair. Special thanks to our lovely part-time assistant/intern Colleen for holding down the table, while I sent out blanket texts about karaoke.

Here is Colleen hard at work, prepping boards for "Deck The Walls II."

The Hester brothers of Vagabond Skateboards (vagabond.blogspot.com) came up huge with all sorts of Decks for the show. Here's Kurt looking like a shaman or some sort of holy man hanging boards two hours before the show.

It all came together last minute like it always does, but it turned out great. Thanks to all of the artists that came together to show on such a short notice. (Brian Hester, Kurt Hester, Natalie Waldref, Karyn Fiebich, Rachel Wright, Lindsey Eckwall, Kidmang aka Anh Nguyen, Kris Krandall, Beefcake aka Garret Weber, and Zachary McAferty.)

We also hosted the annual PDXellent Black Friday pub crawl along with some friends, celebrated some birthdays, and found out that we're getting evicted from our current building. Unfortunately we're not being evicted for throwing parties, but they're selling the building, most likely tearing it down, and replacing a piece of Portland's history with some generic urban development. Hopefully they'll make it something skateable. My it's been a busy couple of months and is ensured to be a busy new year. Keep your eyes posted for our next party that will probably bring the building to rubble before our move out date. Happy Holidays from all of us at Hasbeen Design Company and we hope to see you all soon.
