Sutho Cops & Rodders, Road Safety & Car show was something we assisted with 2012-2013. As the title states, the event looks to promote road safety, raise money for Care Flight whilst putting a good show for the crowds coming through the gates.

Photoshopping for Commodore Forums

Photoshopping for Commodore Forums
So in the early days of KAR Creations, I seemed to have a ton of available time to burn - So I spent a lot of it doing Photoshop editing for users of the Just Commodore forums & Street Commodores forums (RIP). I'm not sure if it was in an attempt to be liked? or if I actually believed I'd make a business our of doing "chops" for individuals and workshops etc... I really don't know - but 100's of hours were thrown away for people who had no idea how to

All our customers are important to us... but some demand more care & love than others - Our 3 year old daughter! My wife & I had spoken at length for as long as Luna has been alive about making a sign for her door but we just never got around to starting the job. Enough was enough we thought it'd be cool to enlist the help of our good mates @ MRC WaterJet Cutting (website/facebook) what the original concept we'd designed in illustrator. The t

It's amazing how the simplest of interactions can turn into healthy business relationships... but more importantly - life long friendships.
