Happy Kookmas

Secret Santa time again.

This year I received a great print of a Praying Mantis from Rhode Island artist William Schaff.


Really loving his work, check out his Flickr stuff here.
You can see the original papercut of the print here

Workmates and Wind Tunnel

Some of my workmates as pictured on day 21 of the company advent calendar.

Click for massively large version

(l-r, Stuart, Anthony, Joseph, John, Martin, Simon, Jon, Vinnie, Aaron, Gavin, Dave)

Here they are posed with a MP4-23 1:6 model which they test in the wind tunnel which they are stood in front of. 

Looks skateable to me, about a 12' full pipe (behind the words DAY 21) which blends into a square section with transitions of about 3 or 4' (at right of picture) I haven't yet been inside that section yet. 

Check out the shiny floor.

Fancy Daps

Well it's one month down at the Tracey Island lookalike where I am now working so they had a sale to honour the fact. (may not be strictly true but they had one anyway)

After queuing for bloody ages I managed amongst a few other things to get these...

Fancy box.


Carbon Fibre look.

Sole Detail






Not bad for a fiver, my guess is that the magnetic sealing box is probably worth that without the shoes. Don't think I'll be skating in them, ah skateboarding I remember when I used to do that.
