Trails and Ales

September 10th, 2009 | Posted in Art, BMX

I’ve got a bunch of artwork in a group show at the Vaad Gallery (the Custard Factory) in Birmingham from the 11th September. The theme is Wonderland and I used my own little wonderland, the trails for the inspiration behind my submission.  I did over 20 original drawings and paintings of stuff from down the jumps, just for fun. Hope you like em. They’re for sale and there’s also some giclee prints avaiable too. Get to the show or email for more details. savage

Hey the new Ride just landed, stoked with the new advert for us and Crucial. The photo is by Scott (from Crucial) and the drawing is by me. Hope the shoulder is healing up well Levi. Well done on the inside cover and the Vans Article.

Also, huge congratulations to Toby Forte and Jess for completing their cycle to Morocco. We went out for diner the other day and caught up with Toby’s tails from the trip. Sounds amazing….and hard work! for more details and donation see the previous posts.

Over it

June 10th, 2009 | Posted in Art, BMX

Man, I saw Dinosaur Jr play at the NEC on the Rollercoaster tour with My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Blur (weird) during the last recession back in 1992 . I guess that makes me pretty old eh! It was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to and the opening riff from My Bloody Valentine still rings in my ears. Well Dinosaur Jr have a new track out and I think you’ll find the video pretty interesting, and for someone my age even more so. Its pretty dope. Here’s also a little taste of that Rollercoaster line up from back in the day….

Its funny how thing move in circles. I reckon everyone down the trails is pretty much dressed how me and my buddies were at that gig all those years ago. I wish I’d kept the shirts.

There’s more info about that video on the WeThePeople site. Good to see some real BMX involvement rather than just media glory types.
