So here it is, the coolest project I've worked on to date - Lando Norris' 2024 Japanese Grand Prix special helmet!
I practically got to design the whole thing from the ground up, which was amazing! A Japanese drifting style-inspired design with my own style.
It contains a lot of cool details - from the lightning in the background, to the redesigned sponsor logos (LNKart, Quadrant etc), the engineer nicknames that are designed to look like Japanese tuner brands, the fantasy drifting competition "Suzuka Drift Circuit" that I made a logo and number plate for, the LN04 license plate... Super fun stuff to do and work on!
The design was also adapted to a one-off S15 RC drift car! It was built by my good friend @balerado_drifting ♥️
Thank you so much to the Lando team and the guys at @wearegrip for this opportunity!
Oh and by the way, you can order this helmet as a miniature from the Lando Norris store - and the boxes they will come in was also done by me 😊
So crazy and wild to say this, but I got contacted by none other than @thehoonigans for a livery design! This is the new look for their Knuckle Busters E36, with A LOT of chrome!
You can see it at @semashow 2023 if you're there!
So happy to be called on for this, but even more wild, is that I have more designs in the works for other Hoonigan member cars! Big thank you to the entire team over at Hoonigan, I am so grateful to be able to do this! 🙏
Got the amazing chance to work with @ultrace_official for their drift area, now called "Ultrace PA" (Parking Area). Logo for the area itself, and then a lot of design ideas for the overall look and feel. It was very fun!
Thank you @don_bugi , @kamilkowal_ and everyone else at Ultrace! I was also of course at the event and checked out the insane amount of high-quality builds and the unforgettable race cars on display.
On another note: The last few years I've almost exclusively posted my livery design work, which is far from everything I do. Since most of my followers are probably here for that reason, I've kept posting mostly livery designs, to appease the algorithms and feeds - because good/a lot of interaction on posts means more people see posts, which means more exposure and ultimately more work.
But I feel like this has pigeonholed me into being "mostly" a livery designer, which is far from true. So I'm really going to start posting more of my other work as well from now on (will still be posting liveries as usual!), and I hope most of you stick around, haha.
You who view my stories may remember this one from about two months ago, time to share it.
Now, I'm not a Mustang-guy by any means, and honestly, the SN95 isn't the best looking car in my eyes.. But if it looked like this though? I'd be down!
Type-S style bumpers, custom fenders, hood and a front splitter that I am unreasonably happy with haha.
And yes, in keeping traditions, there are multiple color variations in there.
I'm just doing my part to bring the 2000's drift car style back 😄

Nob Taniguchi's HKS Hiper M3?
Of course it never existed, but that didn't stop me from imagining it, as the kits I design are to make non-Japanese cars look.. Well more Japanese haha.
With the right styling, the E92 makes for a good "German S15", no?

Here's the wide body version of the E92 kit!
Probably shouldn't have covered the car with a livery to show off the kit better, but I'm a livery designer so I couldn't help myself!
Which one are you taking - the silver one, or the red one?

The prices for E9x's are slowly coming down (no, not M3s haha) and might become a little more popular as drift cars in due time.. So here's my body kit design for a "JDM" E92. This is the street version (D1S), made for oem fenders. There's also a wide body version with front and rear fenders, with wider bumpers to match.
Made a pretty simple livery/sticker tune for it as well, but I could not decide on a color combo, as usual.
Would genuinely love to know what combo you guys like the most!

Ryuji Miki's Top Secret S15 is one of my favorite drift cars, and Top Secret itself is one of my favorite Japanese tuners.
But the 400Z isn't my favorite Z, and I wanted to challenge myself to make the latest Z into something more fitting the golden era of Japanese drift cars.
So I made my own aero for it - front bumper and fenders, hood and side skirts (and even some eyelids), and then designed a Top Secret-inspired livery, with my own ideas/style to it of course.
Gold car has the Volk GT-C's that the S15 did, the white features Top Secrets signature gold with their polished lip design.
Which one do you prefer?
Have you ever thought "What if a Volvo had intimate relations with a Mercedes 190 Evo II, and their child grew up wanting to be a race car?"
No? Well I have! 😄
