SOMA Concept

June 12th, 2013 4:46 PM

Two words – “HOT PINK!” This number is going to be so flashy on the race track mud won’t event want to touch it. The masking within the grey area will be exposed metal with a protective treatment and Euro clear to seal the deal.

Final Breaker!

June 12th, 2013 4:39 PM

The sun has finally came out and it’s time to get as many snap shots while it’s out. With the BrakeBreaker17 we got a chance to get some money shot with the final Icecream Effects and it looks amazing. The effects still show the metal heat treatments and the other metal surface scratches without covering the manufacturing details.

Classic Bianchi

June 12th, 2013 3:08 PM

Creating a ‘Gentlemans Bike’ – look and feel with this Bianchi. We’ll be taking it down its prime (metal) and building the layers back with a gold based off white tone to complement the gold decals and detail treatments (that will be in gold too).

Original views can be seen here…

Zelda themed kendama

June 12th, 2013 2:45 PM

Although the concept sketch is on full color the actual ‘Link’ character will be black line work and the rest of kendama will be in full color. Hopefully there will be enough surface area to implement metallics greens, ice blue, and yellow tones.

We will be shifting this off tone gold and black carbon fork with a burst of hot neon pink and sun yellow fork to be scene on the race track. With part of the frame we will be exposing a portion of the down tube with raw steel with gloss clear set.

Dual Concepts

The ‘Red Wagon’ craze has calmed down and we are just about done with the 49rs inspired concept. Just wanted to have you folks out there see were these concepts derived from.

Sharks inspired

June 5th, 2013 1:03 PM

This San Jose Sharks inspired frame has similar traits like the San Francisco Giants themed frame. In the Icecream Shop we will be sealing the work and adding that nice wet look of this artwork.

Heat treated…

June 5th, 2013 12:45 PM

This is a pretty straight forward project; we’ll be removing most of the decals with the exception of top tube, and applying x2 stages of Icecream Pearls. We still would like to keep the ‘heat treatment’ look on the lugs, and hieghten the overall look of them.

SF inspired…

June 5th, 2013 12:22 PM

Focusing heavily on inspirations from Jackson Pollock and San Francisco Giants – this artist “Kyle” took a trip to the Icecream Shop to make sure that his art.design stay in tack. That’s why we are applying a nice durable clear coat to have this frameset heading in the right direction.
