"No Damage" is a family saying meaning, essentially, ever forward never backwards, everything is gonna be alright.

Growing up in Arcata California my father’s band was named No Damage. The name expressed a philosophy of confidence and resolve. People liked it so much the local baseball team, The Barnstormers, adopted it as their slogan. When he became their pitcher it was stitched into the jerseys by my grandmother , the  seamstress, and artist, who gave me my first painting lessons.

I grew up hearing my role models saying this believe it today.
The slogan is the source of my logo as well
