Cookies 'n Creed
Inspired by Sam Smith's latest Acro Velo, I wanted to draw Mike Creed but had no idea what to draw him in. Sam offered to do some covert ops which went something like this:
Sam: Hmmm I know he loves kombucha but I don't know how that would work. Want me to ask him? I won't tell him why I'm asking.
Me: Sure that would be awesome!
Sam: He said Thai...is that enough?
Me: ...Thai? What about like, snack food?
Sam: He just said "cookies." And then didn't respond when I asked what kind.
Me: Ahahahahaha oh man, he sounds so awesome.
So cookies it was! And I highly recommend all of Sam's Acro Velo videos; the first one with Mike Creed is pretty great.

Tim Johnson's Ride on Chicago
