So what are the ‘Kobe’ Coming Soon pics about?  
 
When I was a kid, I was heavy into drawing. I don’t know what happened, but somewhere along the line - I’m pretty sure it was in college - I decided to forego creativity and took a bunch of Business and Economics classes. I really didn’t draw much and really didn’t care to. All I cared about was making money...  
 
A year or so after I graduated, I made my way out to Wall Street and spent a good 8 years creating and presenting various forms of spreadsheets... like... seriously... that’s considered a ‘skill’. Charts, graphs, reports, the whole thing. I was a freakin master at spreadsheets. But...I really just got tired of counting other people’s money. I remember walking across Broadway on my daily commute and always looking north and just thinking…’man, why am I going to sit down in some bullsh*t @$$ office creating spreadsheets all day when I’m in the greatest city in the world? Why don’t I just skip work and go explore’... 
 
After I left NY, I thought I was heading into creative pursuits...I move back to Cali and started building websites. And that was ALMOST liberating UNTIL I realized companies only wanted me to build exactly what they wanted me to build. A pixel left. A pixel right. A shade darker. A shade lighter. Whatever. It was maddening. 
 
I thought I was really onto something when I kinda mixed it all and created the sneaker grading algorithm that is ‘Shoemetrics’ by ‘The Sneaker Savant.’ It hasn’t exactly made me a millionaire yet, but it’s my thing, and I’m proud of it. 
 
Once this pandemic hit, my mind started wandering again...what the hell am I going to do, creatively, to find some space and stay sane? I thought of something...taught myself GIMP...then Photoshop and I hit up a few people, ran through a few ideas and actually built myself a trading card set. A SNEAKER trading card set...it’s pretty elementary if you compare it to anything else on the market, but it’s mine and I had one helluva time building it out. I’ll lay it all out over the next week or so...but this is what I’ve got in the works...
