2-tone goodness.
Stripped out, how I love it.
Dayton our lovely beer man (he’s a brewer at The Malt Shovel Brewery) came around to Zen today in his rally prepped S13. I love cars like this, gets me excited. Although his visit was a few hours ago now, the all too familiar running rich fumes pouring out of his Kakimoto exhaust are still fresh in my mind. More on Zen Garage.
Half rack of ribs. Couldn’t commit to the full last night!
AP’s monster brake set-up.
RPRSNT!
Tendy’s new wheels. Love the scalloped spokes (lightweight look!).
SUGA’s twin turbo ride for the night.
Liking these Sparco wheels.
First Wednesday of every month is VWGolf.net.au’s dinner night and last night we hit the new Hurricanes at Top Ryde. I spent hours trying to find the meet location in the carpark, went up and up scraping my lip on everything getting to the top, but no-one was up there, luckily for me I ran into another member who was lost and together we finally found the group (modern day shopping mall carparks are hardcore!).
Lots of laughs as usual, ribs were over saturated with sauce I thought. Still good, but I’m officially a Kelly’s Grill ribs guy as of now. The meat is just better in quality. Way jucier & softer!
All big eyed and fluffed up in the morning.
Tough cnut Max. This was last night, he was sitting on the couch funny with his arms up on the couch armrests.
He’s 6-7 months old now? He’s heavy and his head is tiny, but his body is HUGE. He’s going to be a big boy!
Shame I couldn’t find a copy with the old cover design.
I failed to read Orwell’s 1984 again (have not read it since high school) so I picked up ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’ – a book that a fair few arty types were reading when I was studying design at College of Fine Arts many years ago.
I’m only a bit of the way in but I’m pretty hooked already. The guy’s very much in his head, rambles a lot and loves to psychoanalyse his mates. It’s a little annoying at times but I think I’ll stick with it, and see where it goes.
I overheard quite a few first time gamblers at the TAB today, not to worry! There was a guy at this table to help you place your bet.
I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to gamble today on the Melbourne Cup. I got a text from Rob at Zen, told him not to wait up for me (I had the CTATC Design School Talk on earlier today) but when I got into work the race hadn’t started so we hit the pub, then the TAB.
It’s strange that the entire nation is encouraged to gamble just for the one day huh? Especially considering gambling is a problem in Australia that ruins a lot of lives. Why not promote smoking a cigarette the one day a year instead? Give it a go, you might get hooked?!
Hey it’s my name on a poster!
The students.
I was invited to do a talk today at CATC Design School in The Rocks, Sydney. Turns out they take up a few floors in the Ken Done building, awesome heritage building which had open plans and lovely exposed beams and wooden poles.
Talk started off a little shaky for me, a combination of not having done a talk in ages and not having the best preparation as I’ve been down with the flu for about a week, but at some stage my ears popped and I could hear myself properly, got in the zone and did AOK.
Talks are always rewarding and I’m always happy to give out as many secrets as I can.
We had THA TITH BROTHERS attend our Forza Night last week at Zen Garage and they’ve pumped out this amazing video for us. Love these guys (3 brothers), Kim used to be in advertising/design but he makes more money for a living driving trucks, but he loves getting into video, and it shows. It gets my blood pumping!

About 5 years or so ago I was in touch with Californian Photographer Brigham Field. He was pretty excited about Sex in Art, we swapped a few emails and even got speaking on the phone. At the time he was making baby steps towards X-ART, a new project which today is one of the largest porn sites of it’s kind (much classier than your usual stuff).
I won’t be linking to it (wouldn’t want you to be offended, or worse yet, lose your job over it!), but I’m excited to say that after all these years of Brigham and I wanting to work together we’re finally doing it. I’ve been appointed the creative director on a new X-ART project. Can’t say much right now, but it involves a lot of creativity. It’s my first week on the job, will say, and hopefully show more when I can.
Karting action.
It’s the me!
My GTI (love this shot!).
Clifton and Timmy sleeping together (lol).
Hotel sweets.
Hotel.
Felix and I.
Jing took waaaaay better shots than I did, more on his flickr.
