Can you? I can. What am I yamming on about? Delivery time of course!!!! I've been way busy of late and have been neglecting you a little but that's all about to change, honest it really actually is. I've been saving up some cash to get things underway so the first launch will be these tees. I've decided to make things a little special too, firstly all tees will be limited and will be released in pairs, so you'll get two colourways of one tee in very low numbers, sub 50 in fact and once they're gone...they're gone!! The design won't be gone as I'll release new colourways every now and then to keep things fresh, again, sub 50 per batch. Coat of arms tee won't be limited though as that'll be a stock item. As for the tees, I'm getting the boys in the know, Prototype21 , to produce the stock for me. These guys do amazing quality work and if you've ever seen or bought a Terratag tee then you'll already know this. This means good news a...

Well, been HUGELY busy with my business so again, the missile ends up taking a backseat so sorry for neglecting y'all. Until the tees come in here's a lil' does of cool to show you what I did last weekend to blow off some steam. My pals and I used to play pro paintball a few years back as a hobby, which kind of led into an obsession and we actually became very good at it, even played all over Europe and in the first European X-Ball premier league called the EXL. Anyway, times change and you need your money for other things so we had to call it a day and move on in life, always with an eye on what goes on within the sport. As a designer I loved it as I could have some fun designing all our custom jerseys for our first team (K2) then the special jersey for the EXL team we played for from London (Shockwave). Staying in touch with people from the sport has led to me designing a few bits and bobs here and there, most recently a logo for the newly formed promotions company, Balls...

As you all may know, my VR has been nick-named the Anaconda. Why? I have no idea, which is kinda why I like it. Anyways, I use her every day, clock up some heavy miles and general use and abuse her. I do treat her occasionally to some sweet hoops or a subtle mod here and there but generally she gets whipped...looked after but whipped. So it was about she had some lovin. I toyed with the idea of getting rid and getting a 4mo, but, my buddy has an R32 so I couldn't compete which would really get on my chaps...Ana stays!! My engine has high miles and smokes like a dirty nun so rather than get a few things uprated and fixed I thought it best to just buy a new engine, well, 2nd hand but way newer than what I have. No pics as yet, but me and my man Gilly (with the R32) are going picking up the new lump today which has 45k less miles, newish clutch, sump, oil pump, stainless 6 branch and timing chains and tensioners all done around 10k ago, which sounds like an awesome lifeline to me. Thi...

Now I love dubs, I really do, in fact I just love cars full stop if I'm honest whether it be a badass turbo'd VR or a blown R32 or a G60/G40 or a sick Jap drifter or some old school 70's/80's Ford or a sweet split camper or some sick yank muscle...the list goes on. So, when I went to Tescos yesterday to go shopping I nearly wet myself when I saw this guy and his lad topping up the radiator of this piece of awesomeness. I didn't get to chat too much as he needed to go pretty sharpish once the rad was filled, but from what I could see it was a sweet old school Ford, roof chop and a small block v8 which sounded...well, I wished I'd have recorded it because it just made me smile from ear to ear and I'm pretty sure there was movement, if you know what I mean. I did snatch a couple of dodgy phone pics and I'm sure you'll all agree that on a sunny day, surely the best thing to be cruising around in would be something like this.

Er, kinda pointless post without pics but something I've been working on may have moved on a few steps last night. Super excited and really wanna know if I can get it done. If it works out and I can get this 'product' done locally, and it is starting to look that way, I will have something that is effing awesome to offer over the summer that will look amazing. I need to learn some stuff quick so I can make and fit a prototype. Let's just say its something awesome, that looks awesome and will be offered as a fully custom item that you can have individually made for your ride. Awesome. Seriously, awesome!!

I'm not gonna write a War and Peace about how great the show was and how the whole weekend was a huge party and despite the rain everyone blew up...because...well, we only decided to 'pop' down on the Sunday for an hour at about 2pm so we missed all that stuff, PLUS I think we missed all the rain too as it was mad sunny when we arrived. So we had a Mr. Whippy before anything else. Anyways, the show did look good, we did miss a lot of the cars as they'd gone by then but it was still a worthy ride out and if you like your dubs air and water cooled it's always worth a mooch. I took a few dodgy snaps on the way round, last minute again. I didn't go round looking for the cray show cars, just what caught my eye casually. Whenever I go here it always makes me realize just how much I want a splitscreen bus so me and my girl can look awesome and cruise around having free holidays. We did pop to a local beach for half an hour though, which was amazing, even though it was ...

I was playing around with something a bit more light-hearted so knocked up this 'Ich liebe meinen mk3' design which as I'm sure y'all know means I love my mk3 in German. I've recycled my old mk3 drawing for the time being but after some tweaks this will have a new drawing with more detail than the last one, a bit more effort is gonna come in to play from now on. And before anyone starts, the type was only knocked up so I know the letter spacings are all over the place but don't you worry my little cherubs, I'll be getting it all just nice before I go to print. Ok, so the only pic I have is of me from the cold and rainy beach in Wales, on our way back from All Types show, which was cool (see new post). I just wanna get into the habit of letting you guys see what I'm up to more, it kinda softens the wait a bit in between tees. ** added new pic of actual design ** Lemme know if you think this should be a doer...should I be doing Ich leibe designs for all th...
