The new site will be the hub for all my creative ventures. This new site includes a blog, which means this will more than likely be my final blog on blogpost. Please take a second to check out my new site, I have my portfolio, blog and my Black Top Society wrapped into one. There's not much on the blog just yet but not to worry, I'll be posting shortly. Thanks again blogspot!</span><br /><br />Also, thank you Chris for all your hard work on the first site and thank you <a href="http://www.countyofangels.com/">Bryce</a> for all your help on the new site.

As was the case for last night's Art From The Asphalt preview night. We were down to the wire as usual but once every nail was hammered and every piece hung the show fused together seamlessly. Even though every artists here has their own unique and distinguishable style there is balance throughout the gallery walls. However, the art was only half of the night's equation. Truly the show would be nothing without the support of family and friends. For this, I thank everyone who came and supported the preview night and I look forward to those who will support us this coming Saturday for the AFTA opening.<br /><br />Once again, thank you to my friends and family for helping with the show and all the moto enthusiast who help spread the word.

Everything is so disposable, some how I doubt Ikea furniture will be sitting on the showroom floors of antique/vintage shops. Its for this reason I'm glad I have a chance to work with companies like Piston Driven Mfg. PDM is helping preserve the legacy of names like Bates Leathers, Car Craft Magazine, Ghostracks USA and most recently Hurst Shifters. If you don't know who Hurst is or what they do, then you've never experienced the joy of sitting behind the wheel of a steel machine with raw power. Don't take my word for it though, just check out the Piston Driven Mfg site and get some knowledge. Myself and the team at PDM worked hard to bring back some of Hurst's coolest designs and a few newly developed designs. Best of all, these kick ass designs are discharge printed on tees treated for that broken in feel.

Although our efforts paid off to a certain degree, we're still so far from our goal. Its amazing how difficult it is to get people out to the Ontario area. I realize our community is no where near the scale of LA's art walk or even the Pomona's art walk, but you'd think they'd look past that in the name of local art.<br /><br />OEAD is about as grass roots as it gets. Artists of the lofts all work hard to do what we love, create. Without the support however of the public and city in general, we become a faint memory of what once was. So, put us down on your calendar for the next OEAD Art Walk and come see how the other artists are surviving without the lime light of high skylines and art agents.<br /><br />Thank you to all the family and friends who have supported our little community. We hope to have your continued support and hope to make every Art Walk better than the last.<br /></div>BLK TOP SOCIETYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02925418419871432399noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047303109149920413.post-2574117133479696502011-05-10T19:00:00.000-07:002011-05-10T19:08:02.400-07:00Hello again<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbZ7iNyvQzRKaOX4TPKfEDmNXBG-EO2CEFVYruBBIRE25vbzaZxhVh7qi9R2hGWzJID_FLSCH4barsS8uVfwF570woIYAmtOk83hIEVZUzvi21f-szibsFembxARnat4w-6rGoRCIeljTI/s1600/CUTS+FLYER+copy.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbZ7iNyvQzRKaOX4TPKfEDmNXBG-EO2CEFVYruBBIRE25vbzaZxhVh7qi9R2hGWzJID_FLSCH4barsS8uVfwF570woIYAmtOk83hIEVZUzvi21f-szibsFembxARnat4w-6rGoRCIeljTI/s320/CUTS+FLYER+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605274443219070050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Wce7K1GNfpb00qNltvcItXhpxPnf-3CPQ2HOwUeDnv_axA0NClEZsi3B6zlZXUleWolk9SFW5Go9-MY8DUowSw9UCq_zOr7YYF-NPODXwY2EbfqH8NmxNBmHD5kuD29dhhKYqaZFXsSQ/s1600/1shot+Art+Public.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Wce7K1GNfpb00qNltvcItXhpxPnf-3CPQ2HOwUeDnv_axA0NClEZsi3B6zlZXUleWolk9SFW5Go9-MY8DUowSw9UCq_zOr7YYF-NPODXwY2EbfqH8NmxNBmHD5kuD29dhhKYqaZFXsSQ/s320/1shot+Art+Public.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605274446363331186" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">For those of you following my blog or at least visiting it, I just remembered my password!? So, as soon as I get a chance there will be some major updates and facelift to my blog, but for now I want to invite everyone to two upcoming art shows. The first is the 1-Shot Art of Pinstriping art show in Pomona. There will be tons of Pinstripe art work, plus the original Von Dutch eyeball that hung above Kenny's garage. The second show is the Ontario Emporia Arts District art walk, we have been putting in an extra effort to bring guest artists, some of which will be displayed in the loft courtyards. Join us for two weekends of art, music and shit loads of fun.<br /></div>BLK TOP SOCIETYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02925418419871432399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047303109149920413.post-297659022170736302011-02-09T19:24:00.000-08:002011-02-09T19:27:45.522-08:00Pomona Drags Exhibit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUJh5yw2bKDkLEcGRmjsRE_UXZBIVmk7u5Li0BA1_cnqfE3WN33JF49Q_m9ZqYFMaX96md6zenMS51ZhHVP4lugCAGahKocrz7-3a2ikCdONOHsKAmEaYXFuX2G1rImz3sQbgGFVJDREsW/s1600/PME+tee+web.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUJh5yw2bKDkLEcGRmjsRE_UXZBIVmk7u5Li0BA1_cnqfE3WN33JF49Q_m9ZqYFMaX96md6zenMS51ZhHVP4lugCAGahKocrz7-3a2ikCdONOHsKAmEaYXFuX2G1rImz3sQbgGFVJDREsW/s320/PME+tee+web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571897253022548482" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Here's the final promotional piece for the Pomona Drags Exhibit.<br />100% Pre-shrunk (fine jersey) cotton, water based silkscreened, A-1 bad-assness.</span></span>BLK TOP SOCIETYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02925418419871432399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047303109149920413.post-11185985662034305102011-02-01T10:35:00.000-08:002011-02-01T12:23:42.124-08:00Salon Sessions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPTG7y1ct6mMaAdyLeQKtisCUgYIPHKfuX5irm0_xUquct7I7ybKJqxxGCIERrrmqOdwreSUxLqrcFPxFXR7SMNROW5EMGP0kQoq6Nmb5lsFJzIrv-OxwHzv1ZrmxmhyphenhyphenkbrxNvnwYRKjlE/s1600/IMG_6003A.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPTG7y1ct6mMaAdyLeQKtisCUgYIPHKfuX5irm0_xUquct7I7ybKJqxxGCIERrrmqOdwreSUxLqrcFPxFXR7SMNROW5EMGP0kQoq6Nmb5lsFJzIrv-OxwHzv1ZrmxmhyphenhyphenkbrxNvnwYRKjlE/s320/IMG_6003A.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568816889911566130" border="0" /></a><br />Hair: Danielle H @ <a href="http://www.salonsessions.com/">Salon Sessions</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUcolU3v618OThyphenhyphenL74GVzfL-AQc1Ntihivc8tICEMknVTM6wTVq9pHZyhOZ_2odLnoGntvdnA6DSNFBYFRGCHe-ewHaH21GtnSWsJMGAPT89_cTip4iAtoxuxmr3S-WTICAdgFVaWDu_b/s1600/IMG_5780A+Lo.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUUcolU3v618OThyphenhyphenL74GVzfL-AQc1Ntihivc8tICEMknVTM6wTVq9pHZyhOZ_2odLnoGntvdnA6DSNFBYFRGCHe-ewHaH21GtnSWsJMGAPT89_cTip4iAtoxuxmr3S-WTICAdgFVaWDu_b/s320/IMG_5780A+Lo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568816883689060498" border="0" /></a><br />Hair: Karissa G @ <a href="http://www.salonsessions.com/">Salon Sessions</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Being married to a hairstylist <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/salon-lavish-covina">(Brenda B)</a> has some serious perks.

This time around I knew I really wanted to display some photography. I had a photo shoot in mind for months but because of my schedule and the schedule of everyone involved it just wasn't happening. Only two weeks before the Artwalk did everything finally come together. Originally the concept was mime inspired but in some ways I feel we missed the mark and truthfully the outcome surpassed the concept. To my advantage I was working with my favorite team, Brenda B. (my wife and hairstylist extraordinaire) and the very talented Rikki. The shoot had its moments of frustration, controlling the light <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/transmission77/sets/72157624746474808/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">up the hill</span></a> was a battle. Feeling a little defeated we headed back to the loft and started the studio portion of the shoot. We went through the motions of a wardrobe and hair change for the next look, but it was the final look that changed everything. It was the last 10 minutes of the shoot when Rikki applied some hearts to her make-up and Brenda B simply let Rikki's hair down. Those simple changes rocked the shoot, and in the end I was a bit amazed at the out come. I choose these four images to represent my work at the Artwalk and from peoples response I would say they were quite successful. I myself, being the photographer look at these images and wonder how such emotion was given & captured. I can only hope those who see these images ask the same.<br /><br />I'd like to run a limited number of individual prints 20"x30", so if you're interested please email me for pricing.<br /><br />Thanks again Brenda B and Rikki for all your hard work.<br /></div>BLK TOP SOCIETYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02925418419871432399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047303109149920413.post-24872808389934260212010-08-18T10:31:00.000-07:002010-08-18T10:36:27.211-07:00Seven Seven Motos - Kickstart<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0W4ctV6kkVzewxPQhmYR3ahVh8jdnMPtANTx1XM0LfprNCdr41eeYtJmbSz5TpVPVKV0cVUYdO4pMquKX76n22dosq-zHlABcd9K-IE-6C9PENbl4qOzFJ-POUnZaQuCI8uBcXy31ys9P/s1600/kickstartposterLO.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 219px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0W4ctV6kkVzewxPQhmYR3ahVh8jdnMPtANTx1XM0LfprNCdr41eeYtJmbSz5TpVPVKV0cVUYdO4pMquKX76n22dosq-zHlABcd9K-IE-6C9PENbl4qOzFJ-POUnZaQuCI8uBcXy31ys9P/s320/kickstartposterLO.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506805056811888674" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;">Just kicked out this new poster for SSM and I'm diggin it. I used a photo from a photo shoot I did with Rikki, earlier in the year. Ever since I took the picture I knew I wanted to do something with it. Since I'm prepping for the artwalk this weekend I figured why not do what I do and created a piece of graphic design art. I'm working on having prints made but not sure how quick that will happen. I'll keep you posted once I do.<br /></div>BLK TOP SOCIETYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02925418419871432399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047303109149920413.post-13656337779837780502010-07-30T14:29:00.000-07:002010-08-06T08:27:25.003-07:00Stromberg-97<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuyn_nHqkhdYEmL1XM0Vn5wFxZWDoGNsYoUafIUiqUn0KkutuwVX5sRAh_4MHHK345uqiwlDQkckJdsrDBNCUL_QF-8xncx61HKiNejYe7DN2mFmMkHt-erLXaw99HkvvxT13ZKCzamna/s1600/STROMBERG.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuyn_nHqkhdYEmL1XM0Vn5wFxZWDoGNsYoUafIUiqUn0KkutuwVX5sRAh_4MHHK345uqiwlDQkckJdsrDBNCUL_QF-8xncx61HKiNejYe7DN2mFmMkHt-erLXaw99HkvvxT13ZKCzamna/s320/STROMBERG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499824132586983698" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Can a man ever really have too many t-shirts? I like to think not because chances are you have a few that should really be shit canned. Deodorant stains aren't helping anyone's game. Check out some tee's from Stromberg-97, they're printed on American Apparel and the best part is they're discharge prints, so you wont have that caked on screenprint feel. Check em out, buy one and increase your cool-factor by 10%, hell maybe even 11%.</span><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.stromberg-97.com/clothing/clothing.html">Stromberg-97 apparel</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/transmission77/sets/72157623097504975/">Kimmie Caracoles for Stromberg-97</a>BLK TOP SOCIETYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02925418419871432399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047303109149920413.post-31909857320682819162010-06-04T12:45:00.000-07:002010-06-04T12:58:58.808-07:0076 CB550 - Seven Seven Motos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KPk2QE1th8djfg-P3pz7TfyR5ra3VTTwFfNCW7Xwsl6L_jB1cx6r6jalys7P93YCsEzHUiKGzbdxPRNAkAxXS7MT43q6lzTF1hs6XjflYtoWa5j0HWOhPx2f3ZYJT63TqiT-jSWSDOQb/s1600/IMG_3061s.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KPk2QE1th8djfg-P3pz7TfyR5ra3VTTwFfNCW7Xwsl6L_jB1cx6r6jalys7P93YCsEzHUiKGzbdxPRNAkAxXS7MT43q6lzTF1hs6XjflYtoWa5j0HWOhPx2f3ZYJT63TqiT-jSWSDOQb/s320/IMG_3061s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479009333105467810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2u4_iS9b1VOWy4mtInwVDyUDPqqZ4qZa6q1YP8ZnlXX0uUzhRiJLlNjEhW0VZlfjExe8iXKxBFp9Byxt-mvr5DnUsyKb53khuKr-D41fPBpZPo9o43_Wqigp83b4V9sXHEyG5uXlOqr8E/s1600/IMG_3055s.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2u4_iS9b1VOWy4mtInwVDyUDPqqZ4qZa6q1YP8ZnlXX0uUzhRiJLlNjEhW0VZlfjExe8iXKxBFp9Byxt-mvr5DnUsyKb53khuKr-D41fPBpZPo9o43_Wqigp83b4V9sXHEyG5uXlOqr8E/s320/IMG_3055s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479009328230291122" border="0" /></a><br />If you look close you can just see the seat of Tony's <a href="http://sevensevenmotos.blogspot.com/">CB500</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSAxJGGcehVDRnRXwa-DPz0DnxdlgplJ_Bi9J0VYAXgnIcPyne-imYx6j6EZtR1XwoHF7VqMeBms_l-jkMGyeDV17Ps8lcpakdPRW7NHZ51958Xh1PLLK_wO4KMPycIc5v56zunfrwAMT8/s1600/IMG_3058s.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSAxJGGcehVDRnRXwa-DPz0DnxdlgplJ_Bi9J0VYAXgnIcPyne-imYx6j6EZtR1XwoHF7VqMeBms_l-jkMGyeDV17Ps8lcpakdPRW7NHZ51958Xh1PLLK_wO4KMPycIc5v56zunfrwAMT8/s320/IMG_3058s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479009321527179458" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">FINALLY! is the only way to open this blog up.
