I designed this poster going for more of a SWAT feel than last years poster design. The photo I had to work with was cluttered with noise from low-light shooting, so it took a lot of retouching to make it look decent. I can definitely see this as a movie cover on the shelf at Blockbuster.
Unfortunately… this poster design fell victim to the chopping block, and got veto’d for print.
I met up with the crew from Spitfire Studios today to do some stunt driving. More details soon…
I was curious to see what kind of results I would get if I strapped my iPhone in the e46 and recorded a run using Dynolicious’ skidpad mode. The data is pretty interesting. I was surprised the lateral numbers weren’t higher. I suppose if I strapped the phone in the trunk that it would read differently. It is odd that the braking number is so high, because I don’t use the brakes… ever. I also found it interesting that the car pulled just shy of 1.0 G on accel.

Overall… I think this app is great. The timed run feature is very interesting, and extremely fun to use. More on that soon.

Keep an eye out for the comedic spin off the Strength Means Durability ad I designed for Advanced Armament. rnThis ad was a lot of fun to make, and is on newstands now.
Details about the SICKEST drift event to ever ignite Southern soil very soon.
Stay tuned…
Listening to “Beware the Circling Fin” by Early Man… I just unpacked the shipment of short-run Slide Style™ Trophy Decks for this weekend’s double-header at Turner.Don’t swim ashore just yet… this shark bite won’t hurt too bad
Will Roegge just dropped a bomb on the world. Since November 1st, we’ve been whispering that DMGGMASD was the greatest drift event EVER. Even more-so because nobody except those in attendance knew it happened. We’ve collectively been dropping teasers here and there… but the larger picture has not been seen until now.A private infield road-course, 25 select invitees, and one creative juggernaut of a videographer combined to make an unforgettable event, and one AMAZING digital short. Not only does Will have an unparalleled eye behind the lens… his artistry and craft shine equally as bright in the editor’s chair. A true testament… that heart makes all the difference.Thank you, Mr. Roegge… for raising the benchmark, and creating a timeless snap of this epic private day.
Snagged a new floor jack today. My $20 Pep Boys jack lasted me about 5 years… so a new one was long overdue. I couldn’t waste any time with the stickers. Had to stick it before the dirt and grime sets in.
In an effort to raise the bar at grassroots drift events… I schemed with Marcos and cranked out a RAD set of decks that will be trophies for this coming weekend’s Southeast Drift Challenge. This will be the first grassroots drift event in Atlanta with sanctioned team drift and single-run competition. This mad action will span two days at Turner.
There will be two complete sets of these decks to be won. The 1st place finishers (3 drivers) in the team drift competition will each receive a deck. Each of their decks will read “Team Drift 1st Place”. The 1st-3rd place finishers in the single-run competition on Sunday will receive one of the above decks with their respective finish on it.
I decided to shine up The Destroyer™. Some TLC for this truck was long overdue. While I was at it, I de-stickered it. Maybe it is time for new stickers… maybe she’ll stay sleek and clean for a bit. The only sticker that remains is an OG gold/black Cipher Garage sticker on the rear glass.
I came across this old picture of me and my best friend Hooman from the summer of ’96. I developed this test strip in my high school photo class, hence the sever discoloration over the past 13 years.
