DAILY INSPIRATION: 1981 Moto Guzzi 850T4 by JMKL Handmade

1981 Moto Guzzi 850T4
Almost exactly one year ago, this blog featured a stunning set of Moto Guzzi renderings by a graphic designer who gos by JMKL Handmade. Since then Joan Miguel Orga, the designer behind those renderings, has been very busy getting his hands dirty breathing life into the 2D images. The accuracy at which he was able to bring his vision into the third dimension is stunning. One should also note that this was his first build.
The Wrenchmonkees decal adorning the stripped tank is no mistake. Joan Miguel had the unique opportunity of apprenticing under the Denmark builders.
"For me it has been a dream, building my Guzzi at the Wrenchmonkees with my hands, and with their advice and help. Incredible!"The Wrenchmonkee's influence can be seen in the fit and (distressed) finish of the details - an aesthetic that flows seamlessly with JMKL's initial vision. The outcome is truly stunning and I'm always thrilled to see another designer take the extra steps to bring their creativity from the screen to the pavement. I hope to see more from JMKL in the future.

MERCH: ID America V8 Gasket Case for iPhone 5
/
V8 Gasket Case
$29.95
Inspired by the head gasket of a V8, this molded aluminum case for your iPhone 5 is suede lined and comes with a clear screen protector, installation squeegee and microfiber detail cloth. No need to worry about the color chipping off either:
"The aluminum used for our Gasket V8 is stained with color, meaning that
the color is not just a coating, it is absorbed from the inside out."
All colors are stained except the silver variation which is raw aluminum. For us less fortunate people with only one iPhone it's just an Inline 4 case but we can dream can't we? And dream you will, as this case came out a week ago and is already sold out in all color variations. ...Holding out for an update from id America as to when new shipments will arrive. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: "We have just restocked the silver color. The other colors will be available within a week or two."
