After the love I received and the joy I had in giving the original 'Triad Cinquante' away to special and deserving Echelon, I decided I would create 'Triads Deux'; my second edition of Triads.
In May 2014, I updated the Triad design and production began. By time August arrived, 50 new Triads had made their way to me in Australia. I designed and attached name tags and they were then ready to find homes with true, deserving Echelon.
I travelled to the USA for the Carnivores Tour in September and gave away about 10 triads. I also gave numbers #01 [Love], #02 [Lust] and #03 [Faith] to Jared, Shannon & Tomo at the Meet & Greet in Irvine, California. The guys carried them in their hands as they left, so I was happy - and it was nice to know they had cared/liked them enough to keep them.
Then 5 days later, something happened that was a dream come true.
I did the post-show Meet & Greet in Chula Vista; a very intimate, laid-back affair compared to a regular M&G... and I had taken my Triad (#04 Dreams) to get signed. Shannon told me he had the Triad I gave him in his home, which meant a lot. Jared then approached me and spoke with me about my little triads and eventually asked me if I would consider making them for him for MARS Store. Of course, without hesitation, I said yes. The rest is history and now, Echelon all around the world can buy one of these triads - and some were even lucky enough to score 1 of 100 triads signed by the band. These signed versions were Triads that I had produced and sent to the USA.
From the day I fell in love with Thirty Seconds to Mars, my dream has been to design for them, and somehow, after years
of designing MARS stuff for myself and for the Echelon, that completely crazy and impossible dream came true.
You can buy a Triad from the MARS Store here. The signed ones are sold out though.

I still have 40 of my original 'Triad Deux' edition Triads to give away - they will always be special to me and be something that money can't buy and I will continue to use them as gifts for Echelon who enrich my life in one way or another. x
