BOXES OF DEATH - AUGUST 17TH!


Hey everyone! Just letting know about the "Boxes of Death" show we will be participating in on August 17th at the AR4T Gallery in Laguna Beach, California. Here's a little snippet about what the show is all about:


"Boxes of Death is an art exhibition where 50 artists are each given their own coffin to do with what they want. The idea spawned from Kane Quaye, a famous coffin maker from Africa. His philosophy was that a coffin should not just be a pine box, but something that represents the person inside and their life. Each artist in the show uses the same coffin canvas format to create their own artistic statement surrounding the preconceived notions and ideas of the coffin shape. The people in the show have a chance to step out of their comfort zone and faced with the idea of death, react to it."

(Sneak peak at Sonny's coffin)


We are honored to say that Sonny was one of the invited artists this year, and his coffin will be on display for everyone who comes out to see!

The event info is as follows:

Saturday, August 17th - 6 to 9pm
AR4T Gallery
210 North Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, Ca 92651

PLEASE RSVP!!!

Hope to see you all there!

Looking Back - Born Free 5

Now that we are fully able to get back in the swing of things after Born Free 5 (and a much needed vacation), I just wanted to give a recap of how everything went, as well as say thank you so much for the continued support!

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the show, and stopped by and said "hi" at our booth! We had a great time at the show, and hope you all did too.



All of the bikes looked incredible - and a big congratulations to all of the builders!

A big congratulations to T-Bone of Noise Cycles on taking home the "Best Of Show" award. It's always a pleasure and an honor to work with Noise Cycles!  All his hard work definitely paid off and he is continuously pushing to raise the bar.




Alan Richards Triumph was also another head turner that I was lucky to have been a part of. He made a long trip from Calgary, Canada to bring his amazing build to show... It came out beautiful!


Powerplant Choppers! Very honored to be able to work on bikes of this caliber. 


We had also released some new merch designs, including some new tees and tanks available in mens, women's, and children's sizes. Check out Death Squad Chris Yvon's little guy in one of the new "signature" tees. 


Overall, it was a great turn out, and an even better show. Thanks so much again to everyone who stopped over this year!
