Finished today, and looking very retro in its new company livery.

This is my new toy....sold a stunning  9 speed steel retro Kona  to put towards a steel bike with no gears!!!

It is based on a Pearson Hanzo frame.....they 'pimped' one of their steel touring frames with V section anodised wheels, and loads of trick BMX purple bits and hung it in the window not expecting to sell it. It has a flip rear hub so it can be a fixie or freewheel. Its great fun to ride and is pretty light for a steel frame.

Just booked our eurotunnel to cruise to Ninove March 2010........Aircooled VW's take over a small Belguim town centre on a Sunday...after a visit the day before to the local brewery. Sounds great...couple of pics from last year [from airmighty's gallery} The cruise is organised by T2D, details on their site

Jesus aka Alex posted this pic on Faceache[ thanks Alex.]......great pics of some of the Newwaves vehicles, including the Prosign bay in the Japanese vw mag StreetVWs

goldleaf and shades on now...

O'Callaghan is an authentic volkswagen dealer from Kanturk, Eire from the 1950's , there original telephone number had only two digits!

Neil put a bit of lettering on this  Mk1 which belongs to Dan Warren. Dan and Dean Watt have spend months and months on a nut and bolt rebuild of this stunning 2.2 pinto powered Escort.....runs 11.6's

Since he would'nt make the tea we Dean to sweep the drive whilst he was here...

Phil Slade messing about with his camera yesterday....

We have Wayne McCarthy's lovely dove blue crew cab over from Ireland for a traditional signwriting job.....I will post more pics as it evolves

and misleading when other sign firms use several pictures of your work on their site...making it look like their work...grrrrr

Signwritten hoarding for a deli specialist food store...

Krispy Kreme meet at New Malden, some great stuff including this Hyabussa powered Bond Bug......

Borrowed Marcus's MK1 golf to go to work in yesterday......looked on nervously as they unloaded portacabins over it........are low mileage Mk1's hard to get hold of...

.

Vintage haulage this time...a 1930's Bedford, with traditional signwriting and shading. With a pinline around the cab.

Its encouraging to see new businesses starting up, Muztrans is a new haulage firm in Erith, Kent. We designed a logo and they are busy building up a fleet....even more encouraging  is having to hang around the yard waiting for lorries to come back as they are all flat out......love it or hate it the 2012 Olympics and the offshot commerce associated seems to be creating more work around town

here are a few so far...along with some of the early logo ideas.

I'm sure everyone has seen this by now......but it is sooo true ..anyone who designs anything for a living will identify with it, having all had to provide free design work at some point!

CONTAINS SWEARING...DO NOT WATCH IF OFFENDED BY BAD LANGUAGE.

Tony Osbourne's amazing Willys, gets some more lettering and shading. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Popped up to the Bike Show at Earls Court, some great bikes there, and great to see the Hed-bus working as a trade stand ...it features ingenius perspex racks with pivots that allow the wheels to be on display and spin.

Retro single speed frames are the big thing.....infact watch this space as Neil has decided to build one.based on  Pearson cycles products

Ben Wilson [who we worked with on the Honda Zoomer bikes] was responsible for the outrageous 'Swarovski' crystle encrusted lowrider www.benwilsondesign.co.uk

we worked on this last year for Lola Historic . It is a revamp of Graham Hill 's 66 Indy winning Lola.

Turned goldleaf and signwritten numbers.

Just painted a few up to be lettered and striped....heres one before lettering

Fantastic day at Brighton....and it was  Breezy too. Some very cool buses. Well done to Neil 'sausage-fingers' and the SSVC crew.

Peter Anthony's 'Shrunkenheads' meet in ewell was a great success. Signwriters come and panel jam together and drink tea...and talk..boy they talk. But some great talent....

Mark dropped by to pick up a roof rack in his cool digitally wrapped splitscreen....great design and really nicely done by the boys at Boss Dog so if you fancy something a bit different but non permanant give them a buzz...alternatively make your bus earn its living and promote your business.

Local bus boy ,Orb guided him here in his serious 21 window....this bus runs in the 15's on the strip.

Neil has got his wheels back for the 66 bug....had the rims and details polished so they should be on for Brighton Breeze
