NIKE AIR MAX 1 CONSTRUCTION- SEPT 2009

My neighbour Emily Hope came in to my studio everyday with her camera to document the process. Thanks Em, they look great, so great I'm going to make a little book about the project. It'll go to the printers next month...





Nike Sculpture Garden @ 1948 shop- September 2009


I was asked by Nike sportswear to jazz up the outdoor space at the 1948 shop in Shoreditch. In collaboration with Kate Gould, from Helios Garden Design we came up with the Air Max Sculpture and Garden.




Skyway Street Beat - June 2009

My mate wanted a Skyway Street Beat inspired fixed gear. We put this one together for about £800, pulling in lots of favours. Had to spray it using House of Colour Neon Green and then get some vinyl skyway decals made up. I got the components powdercoated up at Armourtex.


ROLL DEEP CHRIS!




Bicycle Film Festival - Art Show- June 17th 2009

I showed the ‘bike that sprays lines on walls’. I took the machine over to NY with me on the plane. I used a bike given to the BFF office by Dahone. I bought the spray paint from Scrap Yard paints on 300 West Broadway. They were sort of friendly- I couldn't decide what colours I wanted...

I helped install the show on orchard street then when everything was hung tried to paint my wall. It was really hit and miss as I hadn't tested the machine since making it in the uk. It needed fine tuning after the first run- the cans weren't all going off because there was not enough pressure on the caps. I managed to adjust the cable and the paint came out good. I raised the machine up and did a second run.

I got back from NY excited with the machine and put it on another bike- a trusty Claude Butler tourer. I tested it…
