JDMyard 10th Anniversary


Mock-up.

JDMyard are having their 10th Anniversary soon and Zi’s asked me (nicely) to mock up a design for some stickers and T’s. I’ve always wanted to use the hipster cross on something!

Abla’s Pastry


Yesssssss. El Jannah’s.


Take away Baklava from Abla’s Pastry – the pastry is soooo thin and crunchy, perfection!

Nanami and I were having a lazy Sunday in front of the TV. We were watching Food Safari and during a Baklava feature I recognised Abla’s Pastry in some footage. Instant cravings! Sunday + wet weather usually brings out the worst Sydney drivers and traffic, but after checking some live traffic camera footage we decided traffic might not be so bad after-all so we made the trek out to Granville and were handsomely rewarded for our efforts :)

Seven Times Down, Eight Times Up


Zen Garage Daruma Doll.

Got up at 5AM this morning with a massive urge to re-write the Zen Garage ABOUT US PAGE. Have been in the zone pretty much ever since (almost time to go to work!). Have been playing with this new Daruma Doll T-Shirt/Logo Symbol design too.

What is Zen Garage? We get asked that question all the time. Whilst it’d be nice like to nail exactly what we’re all about in one sentence, ultimately we don’t want to pigeonhole Zen Garage and instead instead we’d rather keep open minded about what we could become.

Founded in 2011, in a run down warehouse space in Leichhardt Sydney, Zen Garage opened it’s doors to a community passionate about automotive culture… but we’re not just about cars.

Our aim is to explore, and through our website, celebrate creativity and culture whether it’s found in cars, bikes, art, photography, music, skateboarding, anything in which one can reach a moment of zen – be it in the build, striking the perfect chord, capturing an amazing moment, or hitting the apex in the perfect corner on the race track.

Our 300sqm warehouse space pushes the online offline. Forum communities are welcome to drop in and check out our dedicated art gallery, read books and magazines in our library, play games and peruse our retail shop which focusses on stocking creative culture goods.

Mishka Keep Watch eyeball rug

I just bought this Keep Watch eyeball rug from Mishka. It’ll live in my lounge room. $50 and shipping was peanuts too. It’s so ugly, and massive! I love it haha.

Rollers!

Ordered yesterday and they arrived today (free shipping too). I couldn’t resist buying these as I used to wear them every day in high school (I was never a fan of typical Clarks style school shoes, and wanted something different). Being a suede boot they wore out quick so I’ve had a lot of pairs over the years. I even wore a purple pair in uni (let’s not go there). I can’t for the life of me remember the brand that used to make them but these Deus Rollers are made by Australian company Rossi Boots. Quality is awesome. I’m happy!

Gotta give it to the Deus crew, they sure know how to tug at the heart strings. Find them in the Deus Emporium

Porking


Nana, representing.


Pork, lots of it, crackly bits too.

This has been the highlight of my week. Apart from this epic meal which Nana cooked up the rest of it has just been the shittest week I’ve had all year. A massive departure from last week’s high… had to come down I suppose?
