Chasing Thunder

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The talentend Mr. Scott Pommier has started of a photo journal of sorts chronicling all of his chopper cohorts and experiences.

Here it is in his own words:

hello,

a short while ago i started a photo blog of chopper pictures. i’ve been working on a book for the past four years, and some of those images, along with some outtakes will be on the site. have a look if you’ve got a moment. feel free to forward the images or post them if you like. all i ask is that you add a link. i’ve been updating the page daily, so hopefully it’s something you’ll want to check in on.

thanks,

scott

Brilliant

As previously mentioned, I don’t think it is quite appropriate to post things related to my trade on this blog, but this video is a pretty insightful look into of one of the best brands and minds in the business.  What America is to Daiki Suzuki and Engineered Garments,  England is to Nigel Cabourn.  Truly brilliant.  Enjoy.

Just having a bit of nostalgia for the early days of the internet. I swear awesomeness like Eastbound & Down and Grandma’s Boy have to have a long lost link to REAL ULTIMATE POWER!

Love Awareness Program

Monday, January 4th, 2010

We received word from our good buddy Erik (FUCT) that the film short he was working on finally went live.  Filmed on location in Los Angeles, at our favorite couples’ place (Maurice and Melissa), Erik told us that there was a small surprise mid way in throughout the short.  As the camera pans from the TV, you can see two So-So’s decals that Maurice had on his heater.  A great piece of film work that not only doubles as Erik’s directorial debut, but the beginning to a re-vamp of the FUCT site.  Below are some stills captured from the short…

Great job Erik!  Looks killer!  Thanks for the heads up

Gratuitously Self-Righteous

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Or something like that…  I’m never one for self-gloating or promotion, but the way this recent project turned out and the people involved, I felt inclined to share.  Goose and I had the chance to collaborate with our good buddies Danny and Shawn of The Lovewright Co. recently on an artist series redux for one of their seasons.  I’ve known Danny for awhile now, since our two brands have grown along together simultaneously, collaborating with each other quite often.  It is good to surround yourself with good peoples to work with and I am nothing but proud to always work with him and call him a friend.  Our other good buddy and all around ruler, Paul Sun of The Social Trust, so graciously and expertly shot the photos for the look book.  Check em out…

number 7

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

This is the Toyota 7. In my opinion it’s one of the best looking cars of all time. It strikes a balance between the raw technicality of a Chaparral, and the sex of a Porsche 917K.

Speedhunters did a nice write-up a while back, and a few of the pics are from there. All the photos link through to their source.

Yeah, yeah. Everyone posts about the WrenchMonkees. They build nice clean bikes. These pictures are so essential, like MUJI. Plain, but far from generic.
