The graphics were designed in collaboration with Valve & Piston and the owner to represent a fictional French business, then aged to match the beautiful existing patina. Here’s a peek at some of the many painted details. Give them a wave if you see them transporting their poodles on an adventure!

I’ve lived in New York for 18 years now, the same amount of time I spent growing up in Seattle. Truthfully I wasn’t a big football fan as a kid but it’s something that has grown and grown these past 18 years as a way to stay in touch with the place and people that helped make me who I am today.
