Swarve Oblivion


Sweet Oblivion stickers. The choice of champions and gentlemen around the world. Haha gotta love that silly photo of Dan, who is sporting a full set of the Sweet Oblivion stickers on his drift car. (photo by Ross Lanson)

 
Orders for my designs have come in from every edge of the planet including England, Wales, Ireland, Germany, New York, California, Canada, Australia.. I couldn't be happier with the response to Sweet Oblivion stickers going on sale. As a humble graphic design graduate, and as one of the writers of this little blog, it really does feel good to know that a lot of cool kids out there get what we are about here at Sweet Oblivion and want to support and represent us with a sticker on their whip.



Thank you all for your orders and support, with special thanks to Jord and Alex of Drifted, Daniel Bridle of Motormavens, Dan Chapman of Driftworks, Rich Hudson of Okishima! and last but not least my favourite sticker man Dan Verge.

I'm down to the last few of each design now so get your order in quick if you want some thing sweet and sticky in your life!

Buy your Sweet Oblivion stickers here

The photos above are just a handful I've found. We'd love it, if you have found any pictures or links, to please share them with us by loading them onto the wall of the Sweet Oblivion facebook page.

What's in the box?

















 
Post from Japan is still one of my favourite things to wake up to. This parcel has been a long time coming and I was very excited to get inside. I've been searching for Shakotan Boogie books ever since I first read about them here back in 2007 and more recently here. Luckily for me, I have a friend in Japan and together we have been on the hunt for a full set of the Shakotan Boogie books. Finally we found a set for a good price and bought them. After waiting patiently for them to arrive, I opened the box this morning to discover my friend had popped in a surprise Drift Tengoku magazine for me too. Thanks Minami!


















I'm so happy with them! And don't think it would be too bold to say that these could be the only copies and very possibly, the only full set of these rare books in the UK!

Oh and my favourites from the Drift Tengoku magazine..

And then it hits you...

...inspiration.


Its so angry, so simple and so clean.

Built by the guys at Racetec, this bike blends the old AMA superbike style with modern components. This is inspiring me more than anything else at the moment.

JDM Allstars Round 2: Donington Alpine



What an awesome video from Josh Allen! and what looks like another epic weekend of drifting that Matt and I missed. However, graduating from uni is a good enough reason to be absent me thinks! With fresh degrees tucked in our back pockets, free from education, unleashed back into the real world, you can expect a lot more action from us over the summer. Peace!
