YA’MAMMA
BIO
This one was a bit of an experiment to see if I could marry the old with the new. Unsure if I could pull it off, I continued the build with the song Ya Mama (by The Pharcyde) in mind, so that on lookers would know that I just don’t give a #@$% about how I look :O)
Ya’Mamma was stripped of all paint and rust with a darkening ingredient. Along with a brand new pair of white trainers Ya’Mamma was given a white chain and towels to cover the bull horn handle bars and Brooks saddle (towel nicked courtesy of popular hotel as advertised by Lenny Henry :O)
During the rusting process I exposed the raw steel in the form of an old Shapez Athletic logo (top tube) and the constellation of Canis Major (left fork and seat tube) and Virgo (right fork)
