Brian Lotti's popularity peaked in the early 1990s while he was sponsored by skateboard company Planet Earth and made a famous part for the 1991 Planet Earth video "Now N' Later". After moving on to ride for Blind Skateboards, Lotti's lack of skateboard footage led to a decline of his name recognition in the skateboarding world, and eventually retired to focus on becoming an artist.
