Along with over 30+ artists, I was invited by my friend Andy Mueller from The Quite Life to be in this ping pong paddle art show at Port in Long Beach during Agenda. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to be, I've never really done any other stuff than simply photography but it was for sure a fun arts and crafts thing to do. Long story short, I figured out a way to transfer photos onto wood. Thanks to google and the stay-at-home DIY moms out there for the tutorials :) I also had my good old buddy Chris Scholz help me with figuring out a design for the handle portion of the paddle.
Check out photos below from the night!
Here's the long line up of artists. I'm not worthy!
