Long overdue....

BIG lack of updates to the blog recently. not from a lack of activity but from being HECTIC for the past few months. I started a new job so I no longer work at Honda, and now have weekens free, although I seem to be busier on the weekends now than I was when I worked them, which is bizarre. So here is a quick summary of whats been happening.....

Got asked to design some new clothing for Driftworks and gladly obliged. The design they chose was originally to be used on a cap, however they liked it so much they have used it on their hoodies and mugs so far. And something very special is in the pipeline I hear!

I was then approached to design the 2010 British Drift Championship apparel and merchandise. I submitted several designs and most were chosen. The initial line-up has been really well recieved, with the brief being 'more fashion, less memorabilia'. There will be ongoing work throughout the season with the BDC. I have chosen to brand future design-work under the 'havefun' brand, hopefully this should make my work more recognisable and mean I can come up with some cool collaborations in the future.

I formed alliance with a couple of guys I've known from the car scene for a while and we decided to start up our own drift-blog site. We launched last weekend and it has already receieved 8000 hits in 4 days, which we are really pleased about! You can check it out at Drifted. We managed to strike a deal with the BDC so now all BDC competitors cars were two drifted.com stickers on the wing mirrors, which makes for great publicity!

Okishima Program blew up following our Spring Meet, we got posted on Speedhunters and Hellaflush. Word is that there is potential future work with HF and also Motormavens as a spin off from this. Can't wait!

So thats about it for now. Be sure to check out Drifted.com and join our Facebook fanpage!

Les 2 Alpes Video

So I finally got around to putting the video together from Les 2 Alpes. Don't expect anything extreme as most of the shooting was done at the start of the holiday when we were taking it easy! By the end of the week we were all having too much fun boarding to get the camera out!

AmazingSexyProduct

Just saw this over on Mark Arcenal's Fatlace channel.

Literally cannot wait to get one of these. Super fresh.

MacBook Pro!

Well Naomi completely surprised me for Christmas by getting me an all singing and all dancing MacBook Pro along with some other pretty awesome presents [including a Canon Speedlite 430EX] so I'm feeling pretty spoilt. She's an amazing girlfriend!

I love my new MacBook! Its so easy to use, fast and damn sexy looking! Can't believe I waited so long to get one. I was also super impressed by the packaging. Apple always manages to hit you with the 'wow factor' when you open the box. The packaging is a work of art in itself! If your still using a PC and Windows - just try a Mac, seriously.

Some more shots from JDM Allstars 2009 Wembley Edition.

Wembley Wall Rubbing

I found these photos on an old memory card and realised I'd never done anything with them. Just a few shots of the 2009 JDM Allstars Event at Wembley.

Shopping for dinner

We have my Dad and his wife Rose over from Thailand for the weekend along with my half sister Coco. We paid a visit to the local Oriental Market to stock up on ingredients for some good Thai home cooking this evening.





This place is stocked with everything you could want from the east.





Japenese section mostly consists on strange baked seafood items.





The confectionary isle is my favourite. Loads of weird and wonderful things to choose from!
I can smell tea on the go and can't wait!

Sensible Hat

Picked up some SENSIBLE size wheels for the front yesterday.




SSR Professor 17x9 +19.
Should sit well with the 25mm spacers.
Just have to decide if I should paint the centres of these black or the 18s silver? I'm feeling silver.....
