San Diego, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai

What are you up to?
Painting sneakers. Designing graphics. Working like a dog.

What is it all about?
"Methamphibian" was born out of personal necessity. Tired of traditional products with the same old shit over again and continuously dissatisfied with the aesthetics of the current market, I took on the DIY attitude and adopted a philosophy that "Truly the best things out there are the ones you can do yourself." I've tried to help pave an alternative path to this sneaker market that would allow for the growth of progressive-minded DIY'ers who share the same ideals in hopes that consumers are given the choice for a truly alternative product. I've also been trying to get a message across that this small "niche" should belong to the hands of the people who put it on the map (all the designers, artists, and key players big or small, in the past who have contributed to this movement) rather then playing into the hands of corporate entities, false prophets, and self-serving pigs who contribute to nothing but exploit what artists have initially created. Keep with the original spirit instead of following the vulture train down the path to your own extinction.

What’s the news?
Recently just wrapped up the first batch of T-Shirts for 2006, and working on custom BDU Jackets for spring.

What’s the plan?
I'm really hoping to carry this into a manufactured brand in some way so I can really get into the details that manufacturing can provide. I have some ideas for clothing that I feel people aren’t really paying attention to. But I will always continue the painting thing for as long as whenever though.

What do you think?
I think it could work.

What makes you happy?
TRUE friends and family.
