Prolly X Deus Ex Machina

John 'Prolly' Watson posted photos of a visit to DeusCYCLEWORKS today, including one of the two Velocity B-43 rims I painted at the last Swap Meet. I'd wondered what happened to them! Check out the rest of his post here.

Deus Bali Custom Batik Boards

Nice to see the traditional fabric decoration of batik used to full effect on these new boards by Deus Customs.

Stevie Gee does Deus Bali

Stevie Gee is one of my favourite modern artists, and after teaming up with one of my favourite magazines, Sideburn, he's now hooked up with one of my favourite international motorcycle conglomerates, Deus Ex Machina, for a solo show at their Bali outpost. Their blog shows some great shots of the man in action. How I wish I could make it along!

Stevie Gee Solo Art Show

I actually think the Deus Bali boys have more fun than the Sydney shop! Shouldn't we be seeing a bicycle version of this?

Deus Bali You're My Type Show

One piece I greatly admire from the Deus Bali Typographic exhibition, You're My Type.

Deus Bali Swap Meet

I've been posting up a lot of photos from various Deus Ex Machina events, but only because they are so prolific, and the photography is always gorgeous. Take these snaps from yesterday's Deus Bali Swap Meet. Looks like everyone had fun! Can't wait to get over there and check out the scene for myself...

It was the Carnevale de Velo at Deus Sydney on Saturday, I only managed to get a few shots of the action as I was chasing the shade while trying to custom paint a pair of B43 rims. I'll try and get them up today... Thanks to Piero and Stefan and Dare and Rod and everyone who helped to make the day another success and heaps of fun!

Deus Ex Machina Carnevale de Velo ON TOMORROW!

See you there, people, Saturday 13th November at Deus. I'm honoured to be 1 of 10 guest artists painting a set of B43's that will be auctioned off for a charity. It's going to be fun!

Pinstriping at the Deus Ex Machina Surf Swap Meet

File this under: Inspiration. Carby just uploaded some pics of the Deus Surf Swap Meet which was on Saturday. There was this great shot amongst them: I've always been fascinated by pinstripers and their steady hand, their skill has always been a mystery to me. See more on the Deus Ex Machina website!

Deus Ex Machina Book Launch

Yogi and I headed out on Wednesday night to the launch of the Deus Book. The Book documents the recent history of the legendary motorcycle / bicycle / fashion / surf label, and is an incredible documentation of those adventures. All the exhibitions, swap meets and speed trials, fantastic creative and photography by Carby Tuckwell, and is a testament to Dare Jennings and Rod Hunwick's vision.
