Surface Matters

Hi everyone. It’s been a long while since the wife and I have had a chance to post here. I have been crazy busy with a ton of projects, and I’ll post some pics of those soon - too many to count. 😅 But I wanted to share another project I am doing…this one is my own. Last August, Jess and I bought a bus. It is a mind-blowing story, and you should follow the journey on our music page: I Am Feroxx where a majority of the bus updates will be. (IG: ) 🚎

Over the last 3 years and 7 months, Jess and I have gotten sober together, quit smoking ci******es together, produced music together, recorded over 30 songs together and built out her brand together (Feroxx). Then we bought a bus together. 🤷🏼‍♂️ For three and a half years we have saved the money that would have otherwise been spent on alcohol and ci******es...and we bought our bus, Leo, with that cash. You wouldn’t believe the stories if I told you, but let’s just say when we first bought it, we found out a few days later that it was a stolen bus. 😳

I’ll be spending the summer custom building and fully renovating her - taking our life and music on the road. So far, I’ve got just over 100 hours into her with demo. As you can see, I’ve nearly got it fully stripped. Next comes framing. (Pics in comments to show what she looked like inside before I started demo). 👀

When I started Surface Matters over 6 years ago, I had no idea that the skills I would learn along the way would actually be equipping me to build this bus. Every project - hundreds of them at this point - has prepared me for this one. Grateful is an understatement…for both the work I do and the clients who hire me to do it. Time to finally do a project of my own. 😏

Behind on posting - is anyone shocked? Life has been so busy between producing music with my wife, buying a bus that we are getting ready to renovate and turn into home, dad life, and a never ending to do list…but I’m grateful and I’m here. I’ll be posting the completion of some recent projects soon…for today I’m loving this fun tile. Simple things, I guess. 🙂

Rome wasn’t built in a day…and neither was this stacked stone fireplace with tiled wall accents. 😜 Love the way this came out and super honored to have had this project turn into several more, as she referred me out to her friends in this beautiful neighborhood. Word of mouth referral is the highest compliment a client can give me. Grateful for all my clients (and their friends)! 😁
