Press time with COG x Ube’s Icecream Shop in Kinokuniya! Yay!

Presented this ‘Mothers Day’ gift to my mom over the weekend – and her jaw dropped! I think I used a bit too much ‘icecream’ because every time sun hit the surface she had to turn away from the shininess!

More final images seen here…

The concept sketch turn out really well and the frameset is looking incredible. I’ll post finals of the frame and fork at the end of the week.

For stay tuned here for updates…

Icecream graffiti sessions are officially taking place as we speak. I’ll be doing bits and piece here and there – eventually covering the entire wall. I’ll keep general image updates of the progression on here and facebook.

Album can be seen here…

The 360 degree graffiti session on the kendama looks great. Time to add the ‘icecream’ and make this baby shine like there’s no tomorrow! More images coming soon!

Album seen here…

David has done the designs with gold treatment complemting the matte black frameset. We’ll be protecting the artworks and re-apply the satin/matte coatings to protect the gold details.

Here is the concept sketch and the original frameset – we are going to implement what we did on the ‘Ferrari Frameset’ fades with this Bareknuckle, but have more of a subdued contrast between the deep ‘orchid violet’ and the ‘jet euro black.’ This project will be work following.

Album of inspirations and original frameset here…

Hope you folks get to enjoy some ice-cream this weekend and this sketch. Have a great weekend from the Icecream Shop

Here are some supporting characters to the Icecream Family – this week we will  be introducing EraserHead and his sidekick No.2. Enjoy and more to come!

Final direction has been chosen for the Afinity – pearls are in place, and the base paint has been custom mixed to perfection. Stay tuned after Christmas for some Porsche/NJS action!

Although this is a good looking sketch – it does not do the actual frameset justice. The effects that the jet black present are purely stunning! Final images of the Mixty coming soon.

The final and the sketch came out amazing for this project. I rarely do branding projects but I have a few exceptions here and there . Hope you folks enjoy!

This is what happens when you give Ube a canvas, some inspiration – and he’ll basically take care of the rest. This circus inspired art piece is simply stunning (the pictures certainly don’t do it justice!)

More of the final piece can be viewed here…

Murals 101 – Begin with your top refreshments all at the same time; blue bottle coffee, trumers beer, and fuji water. Then prep your equipment, and execute! Then, end the day/night with paint that will not come off your hands for a week or so… priceless!

More images of this mural and I found here…

I gotta say that this is one of the sickest displays I’ve seen in a while. Thanks Alex for taking the time to show off these kendamas’ the way they should be.
