VAPOR STUDIO
to the other side of UNIV is a graphic design firm called Vapor Studio. They do very intricate work. from designing shoes, to toy guns (Crooks & Castles), furniture, to custom bikes (ill explain in a bit).

this is Enirie (sp.?). hes allans brother who works next door at UNIV. he is a very nice person. hes very percise with his work. at one point famous artist, andy howell joined us and was very intrigued by eniries sketchs. his product sketchs were so sweet and could be art pieces themselves. willy and andy had a moment talking about skateboarding in the ol days. andy said that every time willy entered a skate contest, everyone would be like ‘damn willy’ cuz they knew their chance at winning was done. and sometimes im just in awe that im in the same room and famous people and artists alike.

any ways, below is the workspace of Eniries. it was incredible! he had sketches, magazine ads, stencils, etc. it was a photo moment.

Heres a sketch of one of his projects in the works. he was called up by PEPSI to make a custom low rider bike. here is the first look >>

That handle wrapped in the towel in the middle is the brake lever.

I felt honored being able to take photos of the bike in production. the bike is going on a 16 city tour.

in front of UNIV there were some peeps jammin! they looked like they were having fun. i wish we could be a little more musical.
ok, so i was standing at the corner just scoping out the girls and all of a sudden i see this dude eat it on his bike and to make it worse, he laid there for like 5 min.
