Part Timer Steve Glennon-Part 1

Steve Glennon. I met Steve a few years back through Irish Rich. I had the opportunity to go to Denver last year and spend a few days with Irish Rich and do a photo session with Steve. His 08 Custom Rigid he calls Point P-Funk was a project he started with the help and guidance of Irish Rich of Shamrock Fabrication. Steve got the nick name from Rich as Part Timer Steve because he divides his time working with Rich and bartending at a local bar in Denver. His passion for motorcycles led him out to Denver and he instantly struck up a friendship with Irish Rich that they still share today. In fact this bike featured now has been completely redone and is being ridden out from Denver to Orange County for the Born Free 3 show. I'm pretty sure as I type this that Steve is out putting some miles on it getting it ready for the ride to California. Irish Rich is one of the invited builders to showcase their bikes at the show. So look out for Irish Rich and Part Timer Steve as they will have one of the best bikes there for sure. Check out Steve's blog here. Speed and Glory. You know Irish Rich's blog. Applied Machete.

Tomorrows Bad Seeds Gets Certified

Spent today out on the ocean doing some diving. The band Tomorrows Bad Seeds were getting certified for diving so I was in the pool with them on Friday shooting photos and then out on the boat today shooting them getting their open ocean training done. Visibility was bad with a lot of crude floating around so there wasn't much for photo ops, but it's still better than sitting in the office all day.








Garage Labor Printing

Busy weekend again. Screen printed some Black Speed Merchant Eagle T's over the weekend.

Born Free 3 Is Coming

Born Free 3 is fast approaching. Mike Davis and Grant Peters0n have worked their asses off to bring you another kick ass show. To remind everyone what was won at last years Born Free 2 show I'm posting pictures of the BF2 Panhead. If you think this was nice than you need to get tickets to win the Knucklehead. The boys and Garage Co. have stepped it up. Go to the Born Free blog for all information regarding the show. Click here. I will be there with a booth selling product and books. So be sure to stop by and say hello and buy some stuff. Looking forward to the show as I know it will be another big hit of the summer if not the year.

Website Design


Been spending the last few weeks figuring out how to design websites. I did a few before but have found learning CSS is pretty important in setting up websites now. So I basically re-taught myself how to do this. Everything was learned from youtube and google searches. I still have a lot to learn, but this site was the building block in me learning how to do it and get The Speed Merchant site ready to go. Now with this new found knowledge I need to apply it to a Hapa Is Prapa website and even re do the Joyrides Art Company site. Man I got a lot to do!
