If you picked up issue no. 11 then you would’ve seen photos of one of the only BF Performance equipped Lambos in North America and it’s another Lion Productions exclusive release. (more…)
It’s Sunday morning and this entire week has gone down with controlled chaos and things are slowly staring to fall into place. I mentioned a few posts earlier that I’m cutting the fat and the plan continues as I’m starting to disassociate myself with people that are talking more than they’re doing. It sucks to do it but I can’t be bogged down or distracted from achieving the goals that I’ve set for myself or for the magazine. There’s only so much time in a day and life’s too short to not go hard so fuck knockin’ on doors because I’m breakin’ em down and getting what I want.
I’ve already talked to a few people that have religiously supported Heavy Hitters and they’ve all agreed that the times are tough which is why it’s more important than ever to align ourselves with strong media and support partners that realize the vision and understand the concept. Now some people wonder if we’ll ever run out of content or get dry and complacent and the answer is NEVER because at the magazine we are our own worst critics so we’ll never let that happen.
Gotta go head to Downey but more on this later…..
1. Aren’t you the guy from the Village People?
2. What? You need a license to drive?
3. Yes, I saw your lights on but I thought you were going to get a doughnut.
4. Hey I was going to be a cop too but I decided to finish high school instead.
5. Is your power a penis substitute?

If you’re looking for parts for a 2010 BMW Alpina B7 then I got ‘em. This brand new B7 has been stripped down and all parts are up for sale on eBay. Act now and I’ll throw the motor with any purchase above $3,000. LOL….nah I’m just playin’. This car belongs to the young homie who just got his license (congrats on that!) and it’s being stripped down to get a full makeover by Vertu Motoring. More on this car soon. (more…)
The past few days have gone by in a flash and lately it seems as if I’ve been powered by Armenian Coffee – sorry Albert…the Lee’s brew just wasn’t holding up. I’ve been a fan of the sludgy coffee for years but after trying this one that was mixed with milk and sugar it’s been game over.
On Monday I hit up Santa Monica, then headed to Calabassas, Encino, Sherman Oaks and then off to North Hollywood where I took down this cup of coffee down and I’ve been hooked on it every morning since. This week has pretty much been a blur but the end results of all the driving, meetings and phone calls will be pretty amazing and all be seen in upcoming issues. As for shoots, we’ve got one more shoot polished off in Miami, another going down in San Diego and LV next week and as I type this post I’ve been going back and forth with another shooter that’s proofing a feature and finishing off shots in the UAE. As always complacency is never an option.

Shock Mansion – Heavy Hitters Magazine Photoshoot from Kieran Mansion on Vimeo.
Be sure to check out the homies Shock Mansion and spread the word. Issue no. 12 is out and this isn’t the last you’ve seen of the boys from down under. OK so I don’t know why I can’t get this video to post up on my blog so click on the link to view. Also….be sure to check their blog at Shock Mansion.
Chris sent this image over of his his ride reppin’ HH in a big way.
Lately I’ve been hearing a lot about cars rockin’ the HH stickers that we give out but some have even gone a step further and created their own large format pieces. I’ve seen a few including this Dodge Charger with a massive HH running down the rear quarter and this post is dedicated to all the readers who have showed love and support. The growth of HH has been phenomenal and it’s all because of the support we’ve receive from readers, forum goers, entrepreneurs as well as all those who simply love the idea. Thanks.
Issue no. 12 of Heavy Hitters Magazine dropped last week so be sure to grab your copy. Inside we’ve got some very exclusive interviews with Shock Mansion and Horiyoshi the Third as well as the true-to-life stories that have made Heavy Hitters Magazine what it is today. All of our stories move, empower and motivate and it’s the only magazine that you’ll read from cover to cover and the only automotive title that’ll provide you with information that’s timeless.

I got a couple of emails from people asking to see a picture of OG Abel’s first acrylic canvas so here it is. Enjoy the pics and if you’re going to be up at Magic next week than be sure to check him out.
Check out the new silver pieces created for Gerald David aka “Skullman”. One is a new bracelet and the other is a poker card guard. (more…)
My cousins are in town from Canada so yesterday we took them out for sushi at Takami in Downtown L.A. If you’ve never been there then be sure to check it out. It’s a great place to kick it and the view of Downtown L.A. is dope. Here’s a few random flicks from throughout the night.
Here’s another part of the outdoor eating area.
I was going through my computer and found these old mock ups of some potential cover ideas for issue 9. We go through about 5 to 6 different cover ideas and look at everything from the different angles of the main shot, the pictures to use on the top banner all the way to the length and effectiveness of blurbs, tags and subtitles. At first we were going to put the LB Performance Lambos up on the cover but the exaggerated lines of the buggy made it look a bit too cartoonish so we ended up going with the Karwerkz widebody BMW instead…..
This is the shot we ended up going with (and I’m glad we did because the numbers sky rocketed through the roof). On top of that we ended up with another main blurb (Knowledge is Recession Proof) because we felt that this one might have ended up being to strong…then again….let me know what you think because I still might use it in a future issue.
