Someone must pick up Alex Chalmers also. I'm so happy for Jayme, good on you.

The graphic itself:
Jayme has a little fella by the name of Leo, which is the Latin word for lion. Thus, a young looking little lion chilling on what could be seen as a plastic bench (even if I wasn't successful at making it look like a plastic bench, it's hard to argue that it isn't a bench, hehe).

Sticking with the ancient language idea, I added two letters of the Greek alphabet to the banners on either side of Leo... A for Alpha, and the horseshoe thing for upper case symbol Omega. One of the definitions for Alpha is beginning, and one of the definitions for Omega is end. I crossed out the Omega to signify that Jayme ain't done yet. I went out of my way to make the image colorful and positive, because that's the feeling that Jayme has always seemed to convey to me, and especially here on the boards.

Man, this is a really well thought-out graphic. You must be psyched to see your work up like that!

clarkie · « **Reply #37 on:** March 27, 2007, 01:39:03 PM »

Right on, grim. All I could come up with about the omega thing was "no fraturnities" ahahhaah. Boards with hidden meanings really sell, this should do well bench nerd.

I honestly don't know what has me more stoked... having a picture on a board or Jayme jumping back into the game to wreck shit up... hyped all the way around!

Congratulations Jayme, you deserve it, and nice job on the art work grimcity. Please excuse my ignorance about True Love, but what are the dimensions on that deck, and who does the wood?

grimcity · « **Reply #42 on:** March 27, 2007, 03:22:26 PM »

I don't know the deck dimensions (Jayme will have to answer that) but the wood is Chapman if i'm not mistaken.

Jayme. Congrats.

dude56 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 27, 2007, 05:02:54 PM »

So sick. I'm so psyched on this, as True Love is run out of my area, (Cape Cod). Jayme, your Sane part was epic.

1987 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 27, 2007, 05:09:49 PM »

I figured out the Alpha/Omega thing when I first looked at the graphic. I wish I knew where to find this board in SD. I'd love to buy one fo' sho' (even if it's just to put up on the wall). True Love indeed.

bentmode · « **Reply #50 on:** March 27, 2007, 06:33:55 PM »

if this board is around 7.75 i will pick it up for sure.

james is coming by the shop on thursday and i told the owners today about the board and they are going to get a few.

to answer the question earlier asked about who was on true love its now:jayme, jake palu, dave vey, and bro gumpwright

fido · « **Reply #52 on:** March 27, 2007, 07:15:21 PM »

The True Love team is Jayme Fortune, Dave Vey, Billy Davis, Billy Campbell, Bro Gumpright, Jay Vasconcellos, and Noel Boyt.... keep your eyes peeled for the new website, launching any day now!
www.truelovecollective.com
and I heard a rumor there would be some sort of video offering this fall or winter, something with footage not only from the team but all their family and the shops that support them? Something that would trully define Collective...

sebastian toombs · « **Reply #53 on:** March 27, 2007, 07:20:25 PM »

I hear that Noel Boyt guy rocks or something...

congrats to both of you, plastic and grimy!

billy d malden aka billy davis is on the flow team as is campbell i think. i forgot noel somehow and i think there is the guy jeff from minesota on the team. jeff came out with james in november even though he was on probation and wasn't legally allowed to leave and he fucking killed it nonstop

the video is happenign too. noel has more than enough for a part already and he just got on

fido · « **Reply #55 on:** March 27, 2007, 07:52:22 PM »

oops, forgot jef... and i was on the phone with him when i posted that. doh!
can't leave out the one and only jef thomas!

mikefork · « **Reply #57 on:** March 27, 2007, 07:55:15 PM »

fido who are you? you must be james, or vey
anyways jef rips. he was killing the n.reading mini then i turned around for a second looked back and he was doing everything switch and everything looked just as good and even gnarlier knowing that it was switch

sebastien noel and neal are two different people

I take back my comment earlier congrats

fido · « **Reply #59 on:** March 27, 2007, 08:15:56 PM »

yeah, something about the way jef skates never fails to amaze me. when i mey him he was skating a rotting deck with 60mm wheels and skinny thunders so loose they rattled, and was getting all eastern exposure on everything in his path... totally blew me away. top it off with being unquestionably the nicest and most modest fellow i have ever met. can't wait to get him back out here!
