... for Roz/Rockymountainroz - initial make-up preview. She has a very natural face-up in browns and pinks, sunkissed nose and cheeks, and very light freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks. Her lids and eyemech aren't done yet, and we'll be changing some chips to go with her new coloring ... so this is just a first preview! <3
The Motorcycle Monster visits Sturgis Rally and Races in 2008. Today the Sturgis Rally has grown to become one of the largest motorcycle events in the world, attracting riders from around the world.
It took nearly four years (mostly due to a three-year hiatus in the middle), but I finally finished the interior of my custom City Hall
Custom "Werkudara/Bima", the Javanese shadow puppet character with a little touch of Art Nouveau framing.
Jakarta - August 2012.
This little 50cm custom F550 has been finished in a deep crystle blue with cool grey details, including a custom seat tube logo and inside rear stays. Couple that with hard anodized H Plus Son Archetype rims, Gran Compe high flange hubs, Omnium crank, and Thomson up top and you’ve got one great little fixie bike. Nice one Jerahmeel! Catch this on the streets of Shanghai.
After finishing up Heartwrencher, I decided to fix some things with my Zanya custom I did roughly a year ago. I redid the back portion of her hair, gave her more accurate arms with sleeves, painted the shirt logo, and replaced the legs with ones that aren't so rare/expensive. Now she looks much better imo.
I'm coming across lots of old cars in Dunstable at the moment. This 1960 Ford Popular was encountered early last Sunday morning.
People who know me are aware I am missing most of the fingers on my right hand. On modern bicycles, this is a big problem as the rear gears are shifted by using actuators on the right brake lever. This has proven to be nearly impossible for me. Over the years, I have experimented with all kinds of solutions, including an early version of electronic shifting (Mavic Mektronic).
This is a custom device, made by Kelly bike parts and is called a 'take off’. Basically it permits me to mount standard bar end shifters on a location near the left brake lever. My left hand is just fine, and from this location, I can shift both the front and rear derailleurs. It works so well, I have actually raced bikes with this setup and ridden in large pack events, shoulder to shoulder with other crazy cyclists.
When I was writing this up, I was going to say I have to be careful with this gizmo, as Kelly had gone out of business due to some unfortunate circumstances. However, as I looked on their old web site to add a link to the story, I discovered they are BACK in BUSINESS! This is great news, because Kelly makes awesome custom frames other cool stuff.
I am glad I featured the ‘Take Off’ in today’s photo, as I am not sure if/when I would have discovered that Kelly had returned from oblivion!
Custom Slayer - grained panels, nickel then copper plated with a clear coat finish to preserve the patina of the copper
Here is the final photo of the custom bed. Similar, but with a few tweaks to make it look more mission/rustic and less urban/ikea!
It's a California King size, and wow, is it big! I wish I had enough doll room to keep it for myself-- as it is, I barely had enough room on my teeny table to photograph it, lol!

National Motor Museum info:
In 1950, drag racing was started to keep young American tearaways from racing their cars on public roads.
Following a visit to the U.SA., Sydney Allard built this car, Britain's first dragster. She was powered by a a Chrysler 5.7-litre V8 engine.
This car did much to kindle drag racing interest in Britain. Smaller versions called Dragons with supercharged Ford 1.5-litre engines were later built and offered for sale to privateer racers.
