The British invasion continues. Another Sideburn favourite collaborator (and Sideburn 15 cover star) Stevie Gee has created a poster for February's One Motorcycle Show in Portland. Whoop! G

The original Tequila Mockingbird and Sideburn collaborator, Stevie Gee is over in Japan right now, doing his thing. The show opens tomorrow. Details below...
Stevie Gee art exhibition SUPERDREAM launch party at #DeusExMachinaHarajuku from Thursday May 21 at 8:00PM. A first time visit to Japan by the UK artist known for his memorable Deus artwork. 
イギリスで活躍するDeusアーティスト、スティービー・ジーがDeus原宿店でのエキシビジョンのために初来日。 初日の5/21（木）にはローンチパーティも開催。
To commemorate the London-born artist's first Japanese show we spent a couple of days digging through the Sideburn vaults to find any remnants of the Sideburn 15 Stevie Gee cover that had crawled into a crevice in a vain attempt to save itself. We found a handful.
The cover by shot by Sam Christmas and features the Kawasaki Z200 built by Sideburn and CFM, and painted by Stevie Gee. The story is a beauty and the back cover of this memorable issue features fellow UK artist Essy May, who is now, officially, ripping up trees on the London art scene.

Deus Ex Machina have made a limited edition run of T-shirts with the posters we commissioned and sponsored for the 2013 DTRA season.

I'm pretty sure all the posters are being made into shirts, but there only seem to be three available at the moment. The artists we commissioned are:

Ryan Quickfall (UK)
Essy May (UK)
Death Spray Custom (UK)
Brusco (Spain)
Stevie Gee (UK)
Adam Nickel (Australia)

Get them from: Deus Ex Machina DTRA shirts

Profits from the shirts will go to the DTRA to keep this amateur, club-run race series going and growing.

Thanks to all who allowed their work to be reproduced on these shirts.

The DTRA are still looking for volunteers to be involved. Click the DTRA label below to find out more and to find this year's schedule.

FINALLY, don't forget the Sideburn and DTRA launch at Bolt on March 21. G

Stevie Gee, the Tequila Mockingbird himself, has been showing his wares at Strong Adolfo's in Cornwall and Wheels and Waves in Biarritz, since the Slacker Show last year (for which Sideburn built Stevie a Kawasaki Z200, that you can read all about in Sideburn 15).

And then he releases this on the world, the full animated video for his friends The Archie Bronson Trio.  It squeezes 10 days of fun into 210 seconds of flashing imagery. It's good, but don't watch it if you're on medication, are pregnant or have a bad back. You have been warned. G

Sorry for the short notice, but Stevie Gee's super art creations (including lothario surfboards with the winkies out) are going on display at Strong Adolfo's super cafe in Wadebridge, Cornwall from tonight!

W&W 2014 was as predicted, nuts. Vincent's posse that started life a few years ago as a mere blog, encompassing a few mates in Toulouse who ride Brit bikes, has exploded into a small planet with its own gravitational pull. Now senior bike brands have taken notice and want in on the scene. Thankfully their presence is not too overbearing. Everybody loves a free drink and some nibbles. The amazing laissez-faire attitude of the local authorities towards the organised chaos and the summer breeze wins again. Good times with friends.

sorry I never got to speak to you Jens.It was not all beer swilling, flip-flops and novelty helmets.

YELLOW T-SHIRT NOW SOLD OUT. THANKS FOR THE ORDERS. STILL AVAILABLE IN GREY
Super limited edition yellow Slacker shirts.
Medium only. All other sizes sold out. These are on a Gildan Ultra, so they are a good medium, not a tighter-fitting medium (like the Gildan Ringspun that the grey Slacker is printed on). Only a handful are left from the exhibition we did with Stevie Gee.

We have also unearthed a few of the long sold out Sideburn 4. They're still at the 2009 cover price. I really love this issue, a great mix of stories and characters and bikes, from the 1950s to 2009. Well I love them all. G

A simple idea done well. 21 helmets customised by 21 artists. This year's roster includes a bunch of Sideburn collaborators and friends including Stevie Gee, Maxwell Paternoster (Corpses from Hell), Conrad Leach, Denton Watts, Grant Ray and Deus Ex Machina (the whole of it?).
This year's 21 Helmets show debuts at next weekend's One Motorcycle Show in Portland. G

Photographer Paul Bryant took these shots of the Stevie Gee project bike (Sideburn 15 cover bike) for us to send The Bike Shed website. He's built a photo studio with an infinity cove and is offering a service of shooting owner's bikes for them to have pro quality shots of their bike, scooter, whatever. The photos are delivered hi-res on disc, for the owner to them have prints made or Paul can get prints made at a good price.

To celebrate and commemorate the culmination of our collaboration with the never circumspect Stevie Gee we made some T-shirts.

Sizes S- XXL

Grey Gildan ringspun. Small print on the front, big print on the back.
