I wanted to share something really cool that happened to me recently. Some of you who follow my side biz on facebook may have already seen this.
I've had lots of ideas running through my brain for a long time now so I concepted 5 automotive themed OAKLEY Gascan's and sent them in to OAKLEY. All original TMoore Graphic designs...figured it couldn't hurt to try my luck, right? This was not for any contest or anything...just ideas I had that I wanted to get down on paper and see where they lead me.
Well, I got the renderings returned to me last week, along with a nice letter thanking me for my efforts. They won't be using my designs, however, they shipped me a pair of Chip Foose edition polarized Fuel Cells for my time and effort. Absolutely made my day! They could've never responded, or even just sent them back with nothing. In fact...these glasses don't even hit stores until October! And if I'm lucky...maybe I can meet Chip again at SEMA this November and get them signed.
So while my designs won't be used on any OAKLEY's (at least not now) I will certainly enjoy my new glasses and wear them with pride! Just another reason why I continue to buy OAKLEY glasses...classy company and great products.
Here are a few of my renderings as well as the Chip Foose editions they shipped me...

Hope you all like 'em. I really wish they would've used a concept or two of mine...but maybe somewhere down the road, I'll have another opportunity.
