Being from the Bay Area feels like being a member of a private club. One that only you and a few others have the unique honor to experience. It’s special, and it’s specific.
The latest release combines my love for both golf and basketball into my own club.
As I was making this list and watching Michael Jordan on NBC last night I remembered how different watching basketball was before Inentered the industry.
I used to tape games on VHS and pause the screen to see what shoes and uniforms players were wearing. I know now all this is scripted and well publicized online,but I hope kids like me are still hunting and being surprised and inspired by things I make or have made in the past.
This list is To Be Continued and ever evolving. I have some amazing projects with the NBA coming over the next couple of years. Keep you’re eyes open for your boy!
NBA CELEBRATIONS
In honor of the 2025-26 NBA Season Tip Off, I’ve created a list of my top 20 creations that became a part of NBA history.
This is proof that you don’t have to be in “The League”to make it to “The League”. My 14 year old self couldn’t of dreamed of anything better. I’m very thankful that I’m able to show my work in hopes of inspiring anyone that want’s to dream big and do something they love everyday. Part 2 coming soon.
"Practicing good for all."
My latest project has been in the works for a few years now. I teamed up with The Athlete's Foot. Thanks to Matt Lafone Darius Billings and team for trusting me to build a new brand that is built on doing the work to build community and positivity in today's youth culture.
After a soft launch of the first season, The second season of Good Practice explores the idea of “the race” in all its forms. The collection takes aesthetic inspiration from the energy of NASCAR and F1 while drawing meaning from the collective race of humanity and the personal race of life’s journey. Muted primary colors reflect the wear and history of the path traveled, while bold race-inspired graphics channel the authentic connection between design and sport. Classic sports silhouettes are elevated with textured fabrics and rich details, creating pieces that feel both lived-in and one of a kind.
“To me, racing isn’t just about cars—it’s about people, purpose, and progress. This collection is about honoring the journey we’re all running, in our own lane, at our own speed.”
As with every Good Practice collection, the goal is to push progress and purpose through life’s stories and experiences

Valkyries x Trophy Hunting®
In the latest Trophy Hunting News, we recently released a 8 pc capsule of apparel and hats for the Golden State Valkyries. Since it’s their first season, we were super hyped to be given the opportunity to carry our imprint on Bay Area sports. Especially for me.
““My connection and upbringing in
the Bay Area was utilized in making sure that we equally represented the team’s dual home cities of Oakland and San Francisco. We infused that Bay Area heritage first, and then grounded the collection with the Trophy Hunting aesthetic.””
We wanted the Valkyries capsule to capture the energy of a new team while staying true to the Bay, pulling from Trophy Hunting’s common themes of varsity heritage.
Kari Cruz and I built this collection under Trophy Hunting® to feel timeless and aspirational. We pulled in Oakland’s flower the Chrysanthemum as a nod to the Town.
The response was amazing. Everything sold out quickly. Seeing it sell out instantly and hearing from so many people about how much they connected with it is truly the best part of design. Look for more from us and the Valkyries. Go Valks!
LPGA and I Collaborate on Exclusive Product Drop at the FM Championship, August 28, 2025
I’m excited to announce my collaboration with the LPGA on an exclusive product release debuting at the FM Championship at TPC Boston on August 28, 2025.
I created a Golf hat, 2 Unisex Tees and 2 Kids Tees.
My goal is always to bring fun into sports. For this event, I designed the “Lady Lobster” mascot to celebrate the Northeast and give fans a unique souvenir that captures their tournament experience. The capsule was only available at the event in at TPC Boston.
More to come from me and the LPGA. Stay tuned!
All of the DOC® T-shirts are hand drawn by me. I've always been inspired by the time before computers, when design was created entirely by human. Throughout my career I've used every tool available, but I’ve always been gravitated to executions that had the character of a brushstroke or the uniqueness of human error. So now as the "AI artwork" generation has begun, I feel even more motivated to create and craft my own artwork by hand for all of my T-shirts.
Sabrina Ionescu reclaimed her 3-point crown with a 30-point final round, one of the highest in contest history. Napheesa Collier dropped a record 36 points in 19 minutes to win MVP and lead Team Collier to a 151–131 win, with Skylar Diggins recording the first triple double in All-Star history. The Stud Budz, Courtney Williams and Natisha Heidemann, took over social media with a 72-hour behind-the-scenes livestream that became the breakout hit of the weekend.
For Summer 2025, We tapped into the essences of Northeast beach life. Nantucket lifestyle to golf courses in the Hamptons. We wanted to create a feeling of ease and understated polish. This collection continues to evolve our elevated essentials through a sports culture lens.
The Patchwork Madras Game Changer shorts and Golf Jersey are my favorite 2 pieces.
The golf polo mixes a baseball jersey fit and styling with a preppy sublimated madras print. The beach (or bunker) sand toned hoodie with cut-and-sew detailing inspired by shoreline textures.
The graphic tees are all hand illustrated and every piece is built to feel lived in.
Dedicated to our summer lifestyle. Living free without the noise. a timeless, sporty, and designed to elevate your summer wardrobe withought sacrificing comfort.
The design community is small.
And as a Designer I know that we all spend hours researching, lurking, gate-keeping… basically knowing what’s going on.
“I see everything.”
So to call this a coincidence or a form of flattery, would be a disservice to the credibility & “talent” it takes for one to get an opportunity to create, present and have the design/concept approved for a brand like Wislson & Kith.
I’m just making sure you know that
“I SEE YOU”
and I hope that you support my brand and creative output before plagerizing it, taking credit and celebrating work you stole.
Do Better.
For my latest project, I went back to my design roots in basketball trashtalk and reimagined it through the lens of golf. I’ve always prioritized innovation in design—and sometimes, innovation comes from merging two worlds that don’t traditionally go together. In this case, I saw an opportunity to bring the bold graphic language of basketball into the golf space. So for the first time ever, I’m introducing trashtalk golf tees.
With more people from basketball backgrounds now picking up the game, it felt like the perfect moment to connect both cultures. I used to see golf as having a negative stigma—an exclusive community where I didn’t quite belong. But the game has evolved, and so have I. This collection reflects my own personal journey.

““Growing up, golf always felt exclusive. I never saw myself in it,” says Canalin. “But the game is evolving, and I wanted to create something for people like me—those raised in basketball who now have a passion for golf.””

This collaboration was a long time coming. Originally slated to drop last year, it was delayed until the start of this season. But with the Bucks fresh off their mid-season tournament trophy win and heading into the All-Star break with momentum, the timing couldn’t be better for Trophy Hunting®(see what I did there).
My connection with the Bucks began over a decade ago, thanks to my late friend Rob Stone, who brought me on to work on a new identity pitch for the the team. We didn’t win the project (Thanks to to my talented friend Kimou Meyer & Doubleday & Cartwright). But learning more about the franchise left an impact.
Later, during my time at Nike, I had the privilege of creating and launching Giannis Antetokounmpo’s first signature Nike apparel line. That opportunity allowed me to spend time at the Bucks’ facility, meet the team, and see firsthand the excellence behind the organization. It’s an honor to be connected to such a top-tier franchise in so many ways.
Kari Cruz and I dove deep into their story, researching every detail to craft a collection that blends modern sophistication with a vintage soul. From Robert Indiana’s iconic MECCA court to the purple and green uniforms of Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson and Vin Baker, the Bucks’ visual identity has always stood out.
Each piece honors the legacy and appreciation for design. We really hope the fans like what we’ve made for them. Thank you to the Bucks and everyone involved in bringing this vision to life. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for what’s next.
The collection goes on sale Sunday January 19th at the Bucks Pro Shop at Fiserv Forum. Small qtys will be available online as well.
I was commissioned by Saquon Barkley to create artwork to commemorate his 2000 Yard season.This t-shit is not for sale. Go Birds!
“The Bay Makes, The World Takes” is an ongoing art series that pays tribute to the Bay Area’s profound influence on culture.
From art and design to music and entertainment, the Bay Area’s contributions are woven into the fabric of contemporary culture. This project is a tribute to those who continue to represent the Bay, while simultaneously inspiring the world with their vision and spirit.
I’ve learned so much from where I grew up. The Bay has taught me how creativity is a form of competition, how to hustle to be your own boss, and how to be unapologetically yourself.
Commemorating the end of an era, this T-shirt pays tribute to the final game at the Oakland Coliseum after 56 years of Oakland pro baseball. As the last chapter in the departure of three iconic major league teams from Oakland, this design captures the heartache and pride of The Town that’s seen the Raiders, Warriors, and now [Sell the Team] leave their storied home. Strike 3. We’re out.
Check out the details up close. Long Live the Coliseum.
Now you can print out your own Vote Kamala 2024 Poster with my artwork on it. I’ve also made some wallpapers for you phone, tablet, watch and laptop. Click below to get yours.
My caricature portraits go beyond likeness—they tell a story. To honor Kamala Harris's historic DNC appearance and presidential campaign, I've created a portrait celebrating this historic moment. It also aims to capture the cultural milestones that have marked the process.
Tee is now available at TheDOCshop.store (link in bio)
I recently created a special logo and uniform for the Oakland Ballers in collaboration with the Black Panthers.
In tribute to Oakland's legacy of social justice, the team wore the uniforms and hat last weekend and were only available at the game. Thank you to the everyone that helped make this happen. Just another example of what's to come with the Ballers Organization
