Rock’en Seine posters
Rock and Art have always been really close. Some artworks for Jimi Hendrix cover, or even Live posters are pretty famous now. Rock’en Seine is a big Rock Festival in Paris and they were pretty smart this year to re-create this link by printing some posters for each bands or singers in association with designers and graphists. Check here some their works.

Chris Akrigg killing it on a fixie.

Soul of Steel teaser.
Another video about fixie, even for those who don’t like it…but for me, this teaser is all about bikes, all kind of riding. It’s exactly the same for YETI, INTENSE, PASCHLEY, CURTIS, BROOKLYN…it’s all about the love that the welder puts into his work. Check out the teaser…it’s the Soul of Steel…It’s pretty cool also to see that this legend of roadframe can be so open to new ideas and types of riding, more than a lot of youngers for sure !
