Me and my hero! The brains behind ZERO.

The other side of things.

It's been 6 long years at this, and to me things have gone nowhere fast. But in reality we have moved to bigger better places with bigger, better thongs.

MoonEyes HRCS 2011

So this was a bit different from the last. I did draw up some posters for the show With Aarons "Lil' Red Rocket" and one design with Coles Pan head. The trip was short but, still managed to sneek away from the drama to visit Harijuku and Shin-shabuya for the day. I stopped in at my favorite coffee shop next to the Neighborhood store. Thank you again to everyone that made this happen and everyone at Mooneyes.

Little red rocket

Aaron E. "little Red Rocket" Pen&ink the way things should be.

Rossi Brothers tire shop.

Got this out the other week. 3'x2' beed rolled aluminum. Hand screened the tire with nazdar ink and painted fonts using 2 stage centari auto paint. The digital era has ruined sign painters. Everything now is printed out on some large format Johnny five lookin thing.

Panheads de salinasboys

New design to be released at the Hippy killer hoedown.

Not enough Work but too much to ride.

She leaks, she sqeeks and nothin really runs smooth.So ya exactly that, not enough work to keep busy printing but too much work on this here "scooter"to keep riding.

Mooneyes Yokohama Japan

This was an eye opening experience for me.I saw a completely different world, and to be with good friends... I can not ask for more. Thank you Goshu, Shiegie and everyone at Mooneyes for everything, also Cole,Susan, Aaron, Jeff,Duane and lisa Ballard, Alberto,New york bobby, Father fury, Shin and everyone that was there to make this a good time.I owe you. Here are a few pics as well a poster i made up for the show.

Buckle up.

Eye buckles are on the way.

Return rocket.

Ventura Nationals.

Almost a fun time. I believe this Event was previously called the "Primer nationals". Highlight of the event was the King Gene Winfield. Never knew this guy was one of the very few "Straight edge" car builders. kinda lame that I have a beer in this photo.

Love this!

Pebble beach Concours & some Ghia prototypes.

It was well worth the "bootleg" passes and fake boob jobs. For some reason there was a lot of Ghia prototypes on the greens. Roof line, roof line, roof line is the Ghia theme.

Paint paint paint.

Without the ghia or BSA there has been a lot of time and space to fuck up some canvas. I don't do this often enough and should really get off my ass about producing more large scale paintings. Thanks to Lorah for helping me stretch some canvas!!! to get this ball rolling. Here is a little. 5.5ft X 3ft aquanaut painting,been workin on. also got another half to this peice. bringing the total size to 6ft x 5.5ft

1 for you gear queers.

I started this 70's Speedway project with the intention of only getting the bike painted, but after "opening the can of worms" i cant seem to stop. Added a handmade tank and custom drop outs. which will be machined aluminum plates and 3/4" clevis locks to hold em in place.

Score! Yesterdays technology, today..

Not too far from here, there are people who have nothing but "passed down crap"; collecting dust in the far corners of their house. They see no use.. nor can they look at "IT" without squinting. I cant believe today that, while in need of a quality drill press to finalize gadgets on the ghia. I would score a 1956 Craftsman unit. 1/2 hp, 5ft tall. This middle age dude not too far from my house was setting up his driveway for the weekly BLOW out. 100$ no questions and ran.I too live and believe in the saying "yesterdays technology, today. Currently workin on the getting a matching ban saw.

Belt Drive.

Here is one. I was thinkin about doing BeRzerKer belts and call em "belt Drive Belts". This one is a 3 peice 33" died Alligator skin with cow hide backing and some brass and copper studs. Currently dwelling into screen printing onto leather. The buckle is a class N' Trash find.

This just in.

Olliejundro is his name or just "Ollie" for short. IV had this little mop/ mogwhite for about 3 weeks now and its been a blast. A new little fiend to add to the crew and easy to mop up poo too. They say dont put water on him nor eat past 9.

Been printing?

Ya well i know its been a delay on getting new pics of the NEW shop up. Had to build alot to get this work'n right. Pretty happy that things are goin to plan and somewhat smooth. Ill be really diving into this head first. printing on just about anything i can get my hands on. And for just about nothin to keep alive. For anyone who thinks that i have it easy work'n for myself, think again, I constantly worry about what the future holds and can NEVER count on a steady paycheck. I go from "broke" to feelin rich and back to broke all in the amount of a few days.It is the feelin of freedom that keeps this alive.
