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

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…

For the next couple of months I’ll be producing many various types of iterations of frame concepts to design for 2013. Most of the inspirations are variations of soft-rides and old school funny frameset. Enjoy the progression, I’ll be taking a favorite out of the pile each week to present to you folks out there.

This number is way too deep for riding in the city, but I gotta say – it looks am-mae-zae-zing!

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

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!

With the little bit of sun we have in San Francisco, I’ve been wanting to see how this kendama looks with the sheen. Time to seal with a few more coats of clear and we are a go!

More of process found here…

The Toucan frameset is out in about going to various photo shoots to show off her paint. If you look closely, you can see the awesome RevoLights… Can’t wait to see these lights in action on this frameset.

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…

We have been running around doing private design/graffiti events for companies. It’s nice to be able to have some fun here and there – while working at them.

Now that these baby’s are signed and ready for the last coats. It’s about time to get them built up and ready to ride.

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.
