Quick look at what I’m working on…

January 15, 2010

Just a quick update for you guys today. I’m working on the new stickers for the Wek’Fest 2010 event and gonna order up some more vinyl today. These will be “limited edition” I guess you can say with a new look and color scheme. We’ll see how they come out and if I like them, maybe I’ll keep them around for the future. I’ve also been working on the Top Ten of 2009 stickers for the guys who made the list. Man, this gold chrome vinyl looks way better than I expected it would and I can honestly say that the stickers are coming out great. It’s a little time consuming to weed out all the little letters but the final result is well worth it. It really stands out so people will definitely spot it on the cars…

This is pretty much the process after the logo has been vectorized and sent to the plotter/cutter…

Getting cut out…

…then I cut the black border/outline for the logo. It’ll look virtually identical to the logo that I created for the images…

…and this is after the transfer layer has been applied. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. The foil itself is very reflective and well, gold…haha. I took the liberty of taking it home and using a better camera so you guys can see how it looks in the light…

…here you can see how it looks with light directly on it…It came out great. I can’t wait to send these out. Back tomorrow with other stuff…

Behind-the-scenes look at the DPK David photo sessions…

January 12, 2010

Over the weekend, I met up with DPK David so that we could finally take some updated pictures of his Civic coupe. We had set this thing up like almost 2 months now or so and just had conflicting schedules so it never happened. That and he was working out little kinks with his car that he wanted ironed out before it happened. I’m still finishing up the pics but here’s some behind-the-scenes stuff. There’s a couple random videos at the bottom too of David just rolling around and setting up, pretty random but hey, it’s Tuesday and it’s something to look at…haha…All point-and-shoot pics here by the way if people are wondering…

I always like going to this spot. Nice and quiet with not many cars around or other distractions. No people either to walk up and ask dumbass questions or to bother us. The cops are really cool there too. One even passed by just to see what was going on and he went on his way…

It’s also really cool because it’s near an air field where you can see small planes going back and forth. The spot is also huge and pretty random so I don’t have to worry about burning the spot up and always taking pics in the same section. The area is so large there that I have a bunch of different places to move around…

David and Mikeyyyy cleaning up the bay and what not…

That sexy guy would be me, trying to figure out how to use a camera…

Human tri-pod…

The pics came out pretty good. Usually when they look good at the shoot and when I get home they’re garbage…but I was pretty happy with the outcome. I know David is waiting to see the pics so I put these up first because I know he’d probably get frustrated knowing that I told him that shit would be up by today…haha…

Oh here’s the videos…make sure to watch them in HD…It’s jam-packed with excitement and explosions and shit…

Here’s me acting like I know what I’m doing. I made David move like a milimeter front and back for like 20 minutes and he ended up in the same spot as where he started haha…

There’s also a video of Mikeyyyy rolling up in his Corolla but that’s not really worth the time…haha…back tomorrow with the final pics…
