81

Feeling these old school pics of a young Sonny Barger on a knuclehead bobber circa 1956 and the HAMC, Guy up front puffing on a stogie has a centre fixed mirror in case he forgets what BADASS looks like.

Joyriders

Ross McDonnell has absolutely killed it in his black & white series documenting the lives of some kids who grew up in shadows of Ballymun's towers in a housing Estate in Dublin Ireland. His work and incredible integration into the underworld reminds of Boogie's work. Well done Ross.

Ecosse

Another bike co taking cues from fighter planes, the prototypes are numbered in true experimental aircraft form.The Heretic underwent three complete prototype iterations
X-4, X-5 and X-6 are in various stages of development. Hybrid road racer, cruiser, and dragster for a cool US$50,000+

Stakeout

This reminds me of Neil Krug's work, i dont know who shot it or who it is (looks a lil' like Giselle?) but its super hot.

Salt Stained Eyes

Coming from Bondi in Australia its strange to see surf lifestyle shots from Long island New York but im definately feelin' it, Jack Brull shoots with an old modified brownie hawkeye and gets a dreamy effect with real subtle colours.

CR&S Cyberdyne Systems Model 101

CR & S (Cafe' Racers & Superbikes) based out of Milano have released this heavy metal racer prototype, powered by an American big-twin and with looks that make you think its been transformed from arnie's T-101 terminator i expect these to do well when they go into production next year.

T Enami Stereoview

I'm really digging these photo's from T. Enami (1859-1929) depicting life in Meiji-period Japan using 3D stereoviews. That's Enami-san ruling in the samurai armor.

R.I.P Christian Poveda

Christian Poveda made a documentary about MS13, then was found shot through the head in the front seat of a car.. Poveda had made himself a marked man, thanks to his film La Vida Loca (Crazy Life),how he managed to get inside enough to produce his first film was remarkable. A film director who paid for his art with his life.

VCJ

Vernon Courtland Johnson's artwork is known to almost everyone i know. Along with Wes and Jim Phillips, VCJ made up the unholy alliance of epic skateboard artists that has burned into my brain forever. VCJ's iconic artwork for powell peralta during the 80's defined a generation and set the guidelines for skateboarding art until this day. What i find strange is that his name isnt overly well known amongst the art scene today... who knows, such is life.

Usugrow

I bumped into Usugrow today down in Harajuku today, super cool guy that just happens to be one of my all time favourite illustrators. His style speaks for itself.

Dopamine

The best surf ad campaign i've seen in years, if ever. "Dopamine" for Insight by photographer Dustin Humphrey, fusing art & surf photography with perfect timing and/or patience. Its cool to think up ideas like this but to actually execute them takes solid ability.

Chicara - Liquid Chrome

Chicara Nagata is a master motorcycle builder who spends up to 7,500 hours hand-crafting an individual motorcycle, with over 500 unique parts it's hard to flaw these truly incredible machines. All of his bikes sell upwards of a cool million which almost seems like a bargain (;

Futureprimitive

Im really feeling Neil Krug's photographs, they feel like they're straight out of the Hawaiian sixties and make you feel warm and fuzzy, ..and what's not to love about naked supermodel's on horseback.

Rick Griffin X Vans Vault

Im not normally a sneaker freaker but im jumping outta my bones waiting for these Rick Griffin X Vans Vault's.
Well done Vans

Ryohei Hase

Ryohei Hase's work is incredibly well painted, strangely enough it's all done in photoshop as it looks like it was done in oil on Belgian linen. Fine art in a digital era, definitely one to watch.

C120 Renaissance Fighter

I know iv'e blogged about Confederate Motorcycles before, but they've just released the Super badass C120 Renaissance Fighter in an edition of 45... For a cool $US110,000.00 no less.

Marchante!

I stumbled upon this Sam Flores / SANER Collabo in La Condesa, Mexico City. It looked amazing & I expected to walk into an Adidas shop or some hipster gallery but it was an old school bodega with fruit & vegetables, it added to the charm tenfold. Big ups to elaboratorio for making it happen.
