10ft Deep —

How's everyone doing out there, (or "in-there" I suppose)?

Somewhere in the middle of March every year, I buy myself a fresh skate deck to kickoff spring. This year looked a little different, but was still able to support my local shop by DM-ing with the shop owner and snagging the goods in window drive-thru style. My new little mental-health weapon of choice has proven to be yet another great investment.

My wife and I have also been learning the importance of maintaining a rhythm and routine through these quarantine days, while trying to keep creative momentum in our work and leisure.

One in particular has been Gym Johnston; a living-room transfiguration every day at 5pm, from couches to crunches. (A full branding rollout in progress). And what would a DIY gym be without an explosive playlist to set the mood! (Thanks honey).

Hope you all are finding rhythms and creative sparks during these tough times as well. Enjoy:
