Bwana Spoons!

Sometimes this stuff just slips right past me. Found this on vinyl pulse. Wonder when i get mine. Want want want excited. Will see if i can sell some too on here yonder sitewad.

also last saturday there was a green trans glitter steven for sale on the S7 site. Not sure if he’s still available. I got two for walk ins at grass hut, and a small pile up for customs. I love this color.

Sleeping killer is back from a long summer sleep. I missed you sleeping killer. KROKUS two pak. lavender sleeping killer and pocket kaiju killer are coming this friday at noon. Public release eh.
these will be painted. More info soon, lots more pics up on me flickred

here’s a bit of ramblin’. Maybe there’s a few folks out there that might enjoy this bit of history. It’s two fold cause it’s about my new toy buddy Randall and my new bike. Some of you may now I’ve gone nuts again about bmx. I’ve ridden off and on thru out my getting longer life. Starting with mt first Huffy thunder out in death valley, riding the red clay hills in Central Valley (now swallowed up by Redding i do believe), racing and sucking at it in the east bay and other northern parts. Never once winning a trophy rarely even making it out of my first moto. i have distinct memories of never coming in last, painful fright of doubles, and doing things like running over another kids head. Never last cause somebody always crashed or there was one kid (maraculously (spell check please)) slower than me or even more odd, more scared. I moved into skateboarding around the early 80′s and never looked back til adulthood where i had a string of bmx’s in all shapes and sizes, thru bad luck and I think a lot of carelessness all stolen. Ending with my firemans 26 getting ripped off my front porch. turdball cut the iron railing it was locked up to instead of the lock since it was easier. Fart forward 6 years of no bmx to last summer. I got an old granny three speed in Pasadena to ride when I drove down to San Diego for Comic Con. Something felt really right. I had been riding a single speed, which had eventually turned into a fixie for the past 6 years and just wasn’t having fun and somehow the granny bike just brought it back out. i started hunting for another 26 bmx. Bought a vintage laguna 3 bar. great fun for cruising. i started actually trying some tricks on it going out for a late-night bunny hop session here and there after my family went to sleep. but that old laguna was way too stretched out for that. I was hooked and went nuts. I got another 26 firemans which i dubbed the beast. I love it and have the notion that this is made for a giant, scored a DC 26 quad, geometry is a little better in the front, not real happy with the quality. i bought a retro 26 GJS, but gotta be honest, that thing wasn’t made with care or for shredding, the back end is 10 feet long. Switched over to some 24 cruisers. Both of these I love, an L&S (my daily rider, or my once a week night time rider i should say), and an old S&M Challenger. Really dig both of these bikes.
my obsession with BMX and 26 continued on though, and I thought it was time to just get what i wanted. US made, and as local as possible. i wanted something that blended the new kid “Plus Size” bmx like a Black Market Mob with the vintage Bikes I love to actually ride. So here it is… Work in progress…A vintage 3 bar cruiser based specifically on an old Panda 26 Raider, with modern geometry and welds that can handle just about anything. the forks are modified S&M 26. there’s a few details to work out and welds to make, but she’s almost ready- the prototype Bearturds 26″

if i like it as much as i think I’m gonna and some of you guys out there like it too, we’ll make a short run of these fun bikes.
Now for some deeper nerding out. A big part of BMX for me is nostalga and style. Not quite sure how to explain this, but here’s how I came to Bearturds. i have a deep love for northern california, so i started looking (a lot) at the old northern cali BMX companies- Patterson, Skyway, Boss, and the magic hit, Panda. Panda was based originally in Concord California. this place was so close to many of my old homes. i sepnt countless hours ditching school and riding the bart bus to concord from my old shitehole Oakley to ride the bart banks, steal magazines from Tower records, look at toys at the Toys R US, and ride the backyard pools of concord, pleasant hill and walnut creek. Those were some fun days. Panda, thru my understanding was eventually bought out by Boss, based in Oakland. this made for the double found memories of my dad, RIP, a hillbilly from Kentucky would take me to raiders games when they were the og Oakland Raiders. Another moment of retarded brilliancy hits and this bear character i had been struggling with for two years gets his magic. ye olde raiders eyepatch and a hillbilly hat. So out of total nerdness i get two things that i absoluetly love now. my new randall the bear, and the bearturds 26. Wow that was a lot of wind.

Hello. I have a new mini release here at 11am this morning. BLUE BELLS STEVENS and a Lost killer Custom number 64. if anybody has killer custom number 64 and I just made a second number 64 just give me a hollar and send a pic. I also got an extra Arbito hamburger so that’s in the mix too. The bluebells are some handsome and energetic handpaints. blue and white painted eyes, pink noses and a grand melee of spray colors on minty blue vinyl. There are also two glow test shots. hope you enjoy.

more pics of killer and the gang up on my flickr. some things that killer ate- glitter, a feather, eaton arms, drumsticks, trans pink deathra head, what else?

Here’s a sneek for tomorrow’s release of the green and brown thumb bump in the night killers, baby, and biggie mountaintops. SARS 11am public at noon. having some trouble today with emails so can’t get in touch with all you sars peeples this morning. Blerg. Pass it on eh.

Blind box madness- this will be a  mostly pocket killers, mostly painted, a few customs, blanks, globby, tiny paintings, prints, candy, sprinkes, magic dust. Price TBA- More expensive than a standard release cheaper than a custom. These will include the cream and yellow base killers, and a few other suprises.
The first 10 hand cast sloth n moth each a dif color. Kinda a pantone scheme. This will be a fund raiser for mold making costs for the real deal. Maybe first soft vinyl release beginning of september. No more hand casts after SDCC. These were beautifully cast and sculpted by beth graves at brand loyalty. The soft vinyl version to come will be cast in Japan.
Two new jelly factory sculpts- baby mountaintop, and Bumps in the night walking killer.

MARRIOTT HALL 1 & 2 (Marriott Hotel and Marina) I think this is a viewing of the film and then a panel after, or some variation on this. I haven’t seen the film yet so it’s a treat for me too.
Saturday- I think a monster family signing at some point for most of us. i think mine is at 11am. Stay tuned to Super 7′s site for further info.
No specific releases sat or Sunday, just good times.

Our booth number is- 4739 You can find it listed under Gargamel as myself and other grass hut type yokels le merde, martin ontiveros, and kiyoshi nakazawa will all be together this year with the gargamel gang.

I little note about credit cards. In the past years I have been able to take credit cards thru Grass Hut. Now grass hut is inside floating world. FL may be able to run cards for me and the gang, but just not sure yet. There may need to be a certain amount to run them. FL may have a bigger charge% for me or possible may not want to run them at all for GH gang. I will find out this week, but just in case be prepared with cash. Le merde had the idea that we could take Paypal at the con. That would work fine too, and maybe easy.

gary the nerdasaurus will not be at SDCC, these are for a few sars members that ordered them ages ago. But you can see some little fuzzy sneeks of killer and mountaintops.

just put up 5 handpaint big globby pinkeye brown nose in the shop section. Go there ok.

postponing the globby photo and art contest til mid august, thought about when i would have time to judge and post all the work on my flickr and well here we go summer is busy eh. This also means you have more time to enter. send in your raddest globby art or photo.

i am in barcelona still but got confirmation that the pocket paks have arrived from gargamel. pk killer, ojo rojo, and hujilli’s ghost. No pics here, but I think le merde might have put a few up on his site. release will be this saturday.

lastly but not leastly keep an eye out for my friend emilio’s site- I just made a jumping brain custom for him and maybe it will be posted there later today which is the middle of the night for you. Peace and love.
