Thank you to 530 Media Lab for sending me their latest products. Packaged all nice and pretty. Something I need to think about a little more. Sticker packs, tees and even a love letter from Bart. How thoughtful!!

Loop Magazine new issue is out.

I picked up a new macro lens to shoot the new Fatlace Velocity Meister watch. It’s so good you can see the dust on the watch.

Just another typical day. Need to finish a bunch of stuff before Sema next week. Also around the corner is Modball starting this week on the 30th. I designed their official Tee. We’ll be covering the event. Should be FUN!

Rode into and worked at the studio. I love the new HED wheel. Thanks Joe

Brought home Sushi Sams..

.. and drank a Hornsby Hard Cider.

Guess who’s Ruckus is in this months issue of Motochamps? Yes, the green machine made it in the magazine. Thanks to YU for shooting and covering the Ruckus which was a collaborative effort from Myself and Bowls LA. I remember when YU took photos of my S2000 for another magazine in 2002, i think it was.

Check it out. November 2009 Issue. Click to enlarge.

The Cover

PRESENT:
I designed these stickers a few weeks ago and am glad that it turned into something even better than I expected. Check out the texture.

This book, “Personal Effects” by Hiroshi Fujiwara is pretty interesting. I thought it was a photobook of all his stuff but it’s actually stuff he buys and actually uses. Alot of people collect but he considers himself not a collector cause he uses everything he gets at least 1 time. I remember him telling me this one time when we were out. Another thing I remember him telling me is that he never throws anything away. What I want to know is where he keeps all that stuff cause his house was super clean. (Thanks Albert for sending me this stuff. You pack very well)

I love this bike. I really want some HED Clinchers for it.

PAST:
My friend Junior sent me a link to his Impala. Jeez..

FUTURE:
Ramping up on the November 13th 10 Year Anniversary Party in San Francisco. Locking down the DJ’s. Please save the date. We’ll release the flyer this week. We’ll also be celebrating Devilock’s 13th Year Anniversary and will be releasing this special T.

SOON: (crossing fingers)

I can honestly say I haven’t picked up a pencil / pen / sketchbook in a couple years. The computer sucked me in and sucked me dry. I’m hoping to do a few sketches a day just to get my penmanship up to par. It feels like I need to train my left hand muscles again. Yes, Im a lefty.

Here’s the first 4 rusty sketches in the new black book. Illest, Self Portrait, iboosted and Fatlace.

About a month ago Ritche aka Yogafrog asked me if I was interested in an office space next to his Thudrumble office. I really wasn’t looking for anything but designing from the store was difficult at times and I definitely needed some time to just sit in peace. Now that we’re settled in and after moving shipping back to the store, it feels much more like a studio. If you’re around the area, give me a ring and say hello. aBrandApart is the studio.

Tools of the trade.
