CAR vs BIKE

October 9th, 2008

Scene of the accident…6:25 pm.

Mash Out!

So the story is that i was riding home from the office (sunset) and was going south on wilshire and i was almost to the train station to catch a ride home yesterday night and this idiot rolled through the stop sign and hit me.  I thank the lord that i jumped and rolled out of the way and my left leg along with the bike went under his front right tire.  Wow all i know is the my MOSLEY TRIBES bike save me from serious injury by creating a barrier over my leg.  I saw the car run over my leg that is the scariest thing, for a moment i thought my leg and foot were as flat as a pancake.  I realized that i had full movement of my leg.  I came away with only road rash (skin scraped away and burns like hell) and some bones that were bruised.  So came into the office today for a minute to send out some files for a deadline.  So my bike is scrap…gonna part out maybe make it into an art piece, maybe even do a show with bikes that got mashed on by cars. Will keep you posted.  So gonna hit up my lawyer and get me a new bike.

It rough in the streets. Just want to give a big thanks to Paul Sun from The Social Trust for coming to the rescue and picking me after the accident.  Thanks Brother i really appreciate it and thanks to my  wife Samantha and Paul’s GF for bandaging up my wounds.

What time is it? 530.

October 6th, 2008

So during the press checks i jump on my MOSLEY free wheel and mashed over to the 530 Media Lab to rap with Bart and Erik.  There company handles web design for many heavy hitters in the game, MOSLEY being one of them.

Owl Obsession is a subtle metaphor for there solid work ethic. Work Now Sleep Later.

Bart knows his stuff and is down with cut and paste, og graphic designer. He also runs the biz side of 530.

Erik handles the MT account and is my go to guy for the site you are now on.  Thanks so much E for all your hard work.  (MT bike in the background)

Sorry for the long delay in posts.  I was out of town in SF since Thursday of last week.  So here are the catch up posts.  Wednesday of last week got up bright and early and jammed over to Long Beach to our printers to proof the MT books that will be dropping in about a week or so.  Queen Beach Printers really focus on detail and true color quality.

CMYK + 1 PMS.

Joe Pawling is our sales man who gets it done.  Thanks for all the help Joe!

Fall Looks

September 30th, 2008

APC Fall: Love the Military inspired coat with the hoody action.

APC Fall: cold weather is coming.

I have never really been a fan of dress shoes but now there are so many great options.  Maybe it is because i am older and appreciate great design and the wide range of creativity in the use of materials and texture options.  Opening Ceremony have some great looks for the fall.  Here is my favorite below.

Ernesto “CHE” Guevara

September 29th, 2008

I have been waiting for this film to be released for a minute.  I hope that my wait is coming to an end.  Che and his ideals of revolution and socialism have always sounded great.  I believe that his heart was true to the fact of empowering the powerless and serving his fellow man.  This is evident during his years as Global Embassador for Cuba along with many other conflicts that he participated in.  There is so much that can be said about this Argentinian Icon, which has become an icon for many others in the past and current struggles against oppressive governments.  I urge those of you who have not read about this man and his story.  It would be a great way to get the full scope of his life.  The movie and only do so much.
