I want to address something many have asked about: Where is the Takumi artwork, when will it be dropped? What happened?

Although there is no epic tale chronicling the disappearance of Takumi the reality of the matter was that the man got sick and was unable to work on the project for the drop date. We were all a bit in the dark about it as he was MIA due to being bedridden battling away the flu.

However! I am happy to say that Takumi is back in action and has been putting in ovetime to make sure his artwork and this drop gets a revitalized push for the coming week!

Although we are not ready to share finalized product renders nor the artwork, I would like to share some of the quick renders that have just been finished out tonight.


Please note: In these renders we rendered out the grey and pink incorrectly and that the finalized product renders will be correctly adjusted!

I look forward to share more toward the end of this week! Thank you, seriously, for the immense amount of support and trust in this release!

saw the pink version via (redacted) looks fire af

The pink is supposed to be blasted haha, just a bit of an oops in working too fast to make sure we get this done on time.

Ah! Thought to be polished but hey its mad decent to look at, curious to see with the engraving!

Here we are. In the late hours of the night, forging artwork, cooking up renders and making sure this page has a revitalized push. The moment many folks had been waiting for:


Introducing the @takumisegi artwork Aspens
“For the Culture, For the Homies”

These took a lot of work and I cannot thank Takumi enough. Pulling late hours into the night and going above and beyond, flowing with our hectic craziness of art direction (and the lack of it).

Enjoy.

As of now the Aspen production order has been placed!

For folks who still want the additional pre-order goodies, the slots will remain up while supplies last.

Thank you for making this possible!

A little update: Due to CNY and the spring festival no new updates about production of the Aspen. Just wanted to update folks as folks deserve to stay in the loop :smile:

Those are looking good. Hoping some nice progress with the anodizing.

Sorry for the lack of updates!

This run is taking longer than anticipated. I am sorry for those who are waiting anxiously to get their Aspens. In terms of current status: Pending Anodizing.

The remaining process list is as follows: Anodizing (current) → Engraving → Testing.

FPM has communicated that hopefully this week is anodizing week.

Updates:

Outdated information

I am sorry to bring you this news but Aspen has hit a roadblock/delay. I want to make sure this is clearly and officially communicated so everyone is on the same page as we are!

Talking with FPM today, anodizing has seemed to have backed up. I have spoken with a few other companies and it seems to be a common boat we are all stuck in at the moment. As it sucks to bring news of delays, I am happy to see FPM overflowing with work. It’s always good to hear when folks are “suffering from success”.

Thank you all for being understanding and patient through the process as I am sure this was the last thing you all wanted to hear. I hope to bring additional updates throughout May and at least start leaking other content for you all.

Edit:

Moments later after that post FPM sent these!

If you need to update your address or reach out about anything please do not hesitate to do so! I try to be as accessible as possible for everyone.
