WATCHA!

THE WATCHA LOGO


It's kind of funny how the WATCHA logo came about... I was looking through old black & white photos one morning on the external hard drive and came across a photo of Big Watcha at the Viva Las Vegas car show and realized how unique his face was..

I decided I needed to draw him. I outlined his goatee, sunglasses and flat top.. stood back too see if everyone would recognize the logo instantly... and as I did my 7 year old cousin Diego http://939o5.blogspot.com/2009/08/go-diego-go.html walked in, looked at my screen and laughed, "Hey Big Watcha!"

I knew the logo was done and was successful if a 7 year old could identify him.

Everywhere I wear the Watcha shirt we made people ask, "Is that you?" or "Who is that?" or "Where can I get that shirt?" and if they know Big Watcha they just laugh and want one...



I know you want a WATCHA shirt.. right?

If you're lucky enough to already own a WATCHA shirt it's because Big Watcha likes you!

Saturday 3-28-09

This was a long Saturday... We were supposed to go to LA but decided against it because I'm trying to save $$$ for my Texas trip. So instead this is how I spent my Saturday...

First I went to have breakfast at Ariana's here in Salinas (something we're going to try & do every last saturday of the month just for run)

Primer Dave's Buick lookin even better with wires.

Jim's Pick Up, Glen's 67 wagon & Richie's 66 wagon.

Nice Laselle grill

Mike Hubbard's roadster

Interior shot

Clean Ford

Don's nice little Rambler

If you go to any car show anywhere near Salinas, you're pretty much guaranteed to see some Rod Powell artwork!

Denny heading home.

Next stop Pleasenton Ca for the Goodguys show. There was a ton of people & cars.


Big Watcha was posted up with the Coker booth. I think it helped Coker sell some rubber because a lot of people were asking Watcha about his clean tires.

And of course any where Watcha goes, he leaves his mark (logo courtesy of your's truly)

Then we headed to Frisco looking for some fresh gear on Haight St.



Silk being a tourist

I handed Lil Watcha my camera to snap this flick of a lowrider cruising down Haight

We couldn't leave the young homie Lil Watcha behind (haha)

I think the best part about Haight is the artwork. Some dope graffiti!



A fresh Mike Giant

This dude was old & very drunk

Then we headed to San Jose to have some pizza at Bj's & played some pinball on an old pinball machine at Lil Watchas house. It became a competition & Silk dominated but I left my camera in the truck.

Peace!
