Many of the graphics were heavily influenced by looking at Girl/Chocolate and Alien catalogs while designing. Don even called it out on his website. Don is also 100% correct that Jeff Dickson is one of the most honest, hard working, rad dudes in the skate industry.Robertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-29208721436191959312008-07-31T11:02:00.000-07:002008-07-31T11:02:00.000-07:00John has a shop in Charlotte NC called Atmosphere....John has a shop in Charlotte NC called Atmosphere.

I know where it comes from, and I love that album... but i have no idea what the lips mean either.
