Throwback SPOKE!

Thursday, May 9th, 2013

This aerospoke will take on a jet black base and topped with a triple stage Icecream effect (gold flake, currency, and a touch of glass).

More originals before the good stuff happens here…

Wow!

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

Hey folks, if you get a chance to see the “Hubba Bubba” in person – you’ll be purely blown away! The amount of techniques involved in this project will drive you crazy just trying to place them all together. As long as I have an extremely happy client that’s what counts most.

More craziness found here…

Mothers Day…

Monday, May 6th, 2013

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…

Red Wagon

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

Getting rid of the traditional fire engine red and putting a new spin on this wagon. Additions to this paint job – larger rims, stained wooded gates, and just murdered out!

Album can be found here…

Chameleon paint

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

This isn’t the best image of the chameleon paint, but one we get another sunny day and this number is fully cured more will be provided. For now, enjoy this leaked photo of the project.

Album can be found here…

Concept lookin’ good!

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

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…

Sketch Fri’s

Friday, April 19th, 2013

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…

Graf Kendama

Friday, April 19th, 2013

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…

Peugeot throwbacks

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

This bike was repaired from an intense crash – bending the top and down tube along with the fork. Now we have a fully repaired frameset (not exactly ike the original) but close enough to get the point across

images of the actual frameset coming soonish…

Album here…

Hubba Bubba.

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Taking three colors tones and trying to integrate them together to create a new bubble gum/icecream flavor! The line consist of metallic green, candy purple, and chrome metal; I also mght slip in some hot pink.

Candy is dandy but liquid is quicker here…

GT Fork

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

Its nice to post the smaller projects that I work on behind the scenes – this GT fork will have a basic satin/matte coating with a jet black euro base.

Album will be published here…

Race time!

Friday, March 15th, 2013

It’s a bit difficult to capture the incredible effects on the surface, but hopefully I’ll get some sun images of the GoKart in the next couple of days. Otherwise, I can’t complain on the end result. The NJS combo with a hint of glass flake will literally blind folks when this number is on the race track.

More views and awesomeness here…

OLMO in the house!

Thursday, March 14th, 2013

Restoration of the week goes to this vintage frameset – OLMO. After years of use, it’s time to make its way into the Icecream Shop for some goodies. We will be replicating another classic OLMO with a satin red/orange tone.

More original shots before I do what I do, here…

Karting along…

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

This gokart’s shin is taking shape slowly by surely! I would try to get some sun images for you folks out there but this number is quite hard to move around. I’ll just have to wait till completion day (coming soon)!

More detail shots found here…
