Watchin' some TV….
My brother from another mother and the new baby albino Lion. Now that's big pimpin'! Baki is yet another great photographer that you're gonna be hearing about really soon and he's got the exotic car game on serious lock. His work is phenomenal and speaks for itself. Here's a few of his shots…


It's funny how the internet has turned regular Joes and Janes into narcissistic monsters that think that they're a lot bigger than they really are. Call it delusions of digital grandeur or whatever the fuck you'd like but it's true. You've got guys and gals braggin' about how they've got over a million page views on myspace, or how they've got over 50,000 friends, but how many of those "friends" really give a fuck about 'em? It's a sad reality but fuck it….it's entertaining and pretty embarrassing at the same time. Social networking sites have become forums for people to inadvertently air out their insecurities and it's amazing to see what some people will do for attention.
I just ran across this one page in particular and check out what this idiot had this to say about himself…..
Uhhhh wtf? Relax dork. Just because you have a domain name reserved doesn't mean that you're a fashion designer you idiot. Your site doesn't even work! Now as much as I'd like to give up his website I won't for the simple fact that we don't want this douche bag to get anymore big headed then he already is. Again, it's just proof that this world is slowly coming to an end with all these friggin' morons believing that they're rap stars, DJ's, fashion designers and highly refined tastemakers. Reeeelax and book a flight back to earth.
Here's some flicks from a new photo/editorial piece that a mag in Brazil is doing on the homie Adrian and his clothing line – Bighouse.
Be on the lookout for more shots as well as the full feature that drops in November. The photo/editorial piece revolves around Bighouse Clothing as well as their diverse and loyal following.
His clothing line represents more than just the streets, it represents the mentality of hustlers and go-getters alike. Adrian put it best when he said, "The mentality and code of honor is all the same and the only thing that really differs are the playing fields. Some play on the streets while others do it in the boardroom."
Abel [OG Abel], Donovan [DYD Lowrider]and Adrian [BHC]. We all got together for a going away dinner for Donovan. Good food, good music (even though I couldn't understand a lick of it) and good times.
Donovan & Alicia
Ommm pahh pahh Ommm paahh paahhh……this place had some pretty dope ass music. Believe it or not my ass bumps this from time to time.
Eddie, Devon and Brian ain't got shit on my kicks. Here's a few flicks from lastnight.
We keeps it real. Check out Eddie's bad ass CL with the custom Knudsen Farm's lighweight racing seats. LOL….that's how we roll! But for reals…when this bitch is back from the interior shop it's gonna be one bad mofo.
Swung by the head honchos new spot today and all I have to say is that it'll probably be my last. It took me almost an hour to get down there but it was definitely worth the trip. The homie JoJo is doin' big things and if you need any handbills, magazines, brochures, business cards or anything of the sort, then make sure you hit 'em up at www.smartlevels.com! The new spot is located over in Irvine and it's definitely the business. The best part of it all is that he's staying level-headed while rakin' in that paper.
Tadahhh! Jo Jo showcasing the new binding machine.
The new Heidelberg print machine. Cost? A cool $2 million. Damn….you could've bought a Bugatti. LOL.
Proofing station.
U.V. coating machine.
Paper cutter. Scissors would've been cheaper. NO?
Do you know what this is? You will soooon. Trust me. I can already smell the money!
I never had the chance to make it out to the VIP AUTO FASHION this past weekend but after seeing the coverage online (and hearing everyone gripe about it) all I have to say is, "Are you fucking kidding me?" Almost all of the exotic cars there were bone stock – unless of course you consider window tint or no front plates a modification. But seriously, aside from the homie Hugh (who happened to take home first place with his yellow Gallardo) the other cars looked fuckin' horrific. Yeah yeah yeah….there was a few clean cars here and there but for the most part you could've went online to see 'em.

Hugh's Lambo customizd by D2 Technik.

Gaysha's 996 Turbo. It doesn't get no sweeter……then again he's a gotta bit of sugar in his tank. LOL….. [Daysha laughing] HAA HAA HAA HAAA!
WTF? I gotta twin in Japan?

I just got these pics from Japan and it looks like someone else is rockin' a set of 22-inch Collectizone DD4's on a 3rd Gen Lexus GS.

Again….proof that 22's can fit if you're willing to catch a budget and break bread. Speaking of bread…..you owe Cheeba those extra 50 points so pay up sucka! The proof is in the pudding!
Went to the Palos Verdes Concouse held over at Donald Trump’s Golf Course in Palos Verdes and the place rocked but the parking sucked balls. Plenty of cars, great scenery and some seriously overinflated food prices. LOL…enjoy!
I’d take this over a Maybach any day of the week. Check out the flavor of this 1978 Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman Open Sedan.
…..interior shot of the Benz
Joe and the Chevelle.
Lexus powered hot rod. Reliable HP.
One of only two pink Cudas built in 1970.
Snapshot taken by Yasmine….parking at this event sucked major balls. How did they expect people to be happy while driving through a dirt field all the way to the greens? That’s some bowsheet!

What the f*ck happened to this pic? My smile is all f*cked up? LOL.
Crewest had another one of their gallery exhibits and this time it was centered around the Los Angeles River.
Eriberto Oriol (the father of Estevan Oriol) was there to showcase a few of his pieces including this one that was pretty sick.
Dunno who did this piece but it was another highlight at the show.
OSOK and I
E. Hoil and Eriberto Oriol choppin’ it up.
One of Edgar’s pieces. If you were’nt at the show…then you missed out on the disappearing image of Adrian Nieto from Bighouse Clothing. The photo would only reveal his image on certain angles but it was only visible to the human eye so I couldnt post no pics. Sick shit.

Do I have bacon stuck on my back bumper? Or do my exhaust fumes smell like a fresh batch of donuts? I don’t understand for the life of me why I’m always getting pulled over by cops and this morning was no different. I think I’ve narrowed it down to the fact that whenever I ride – or drive – in any car with Victor I automatically become a target. This Sheriff pulled us over this morning right when we got to the location of our shoot.

The first setup of the day. It’s amazing what a bunch of reflectors and some heavy experience can produce. We started this shoot over in Malibu at 9 am and ended up leaving the actual location at 6:40 pm. The shoot was for a potential cover shot for a new magazine called TRACTION, and It was one long ass day but also a very interesting one.

Evan Klein – the photographer extraordinarie – working his magic in just one of over a dozen different setups he created. Evan is best known for his work in automotive photography and is one of Motor Trend’s top cover and feature photographers. Big ups to crazy Evan for doin’ the damn thing on my car. Speaking of magic…..hey Evan….have you tried doing the Alaskan Snow Dragon on anyone yet? LOL.

Another setup with a silk sheet that wrapped around the vehicle to help create a moody ambiance inside the vehicle.

…and another setup

….and another setup

….and another setup

….and another setup

…..and another setup. This one was a bit weird because I’ve never been on a photoshoot where a “male model” was used. It was interesting nonetheless, but after about 15 minutes of Victor staring pervertedly at the model I told him that it was rude so he was kind enough to apologize to the guy. LMFAO.

….and finally the grand finale.

It wouldnt be complete without another Sheriff following us out of Point Duma as well as another one that creeped up besides us till we hit Santa Monica. Again….I swear that Vic is fuckin’ bad luck.
