Those who are part of the upcoming “Homologation Specials” book waitlist already got an email from me yesterday, so I’m sorry if this feels like too soon, but I’ll make it worth your while.

These are some new items in the Creating Lightly Store that have just launched today.

The F1 championship nowadays is all the rage, but I am more into the WEC (World Endurance Championship) as you might know from previous articles.

That doesn’t mean I can’t create F1 related artwork and apparel, so here are two “90s F1 insipred” things that you can get.

The first one is a Renault Espace F1 inspired collection that I am very happy with.

It’s two t-shirts and a very first in the Creating Lightly Store: a high quality, all-over print zip-up hoodie!

Pretty cool, huh?

I couldn’t decide on the actual t-shirt design, so I provide two options.

I like both for different reasons, so I guess it’s up to you to decide which you like more to pick it up, or at least reply to this email telling me which is your favourite! I read (and reply to) all your emails.

The zip-up hoodie, for obvious reasons (the zip-up part!) is only small artwork in the front left part of the chest, and big phrase in the back. It’s very soft and comfy and I really love it (and people who already got it also do!)

People know that the McLaren F1 is the fastest naturally aspirated production car in existence.

A record that will probably be held by it forever, due to engineering, emissions and regulation limitations.

This amount of amazing of course, inspired me to create this artwork in an iconic bright orange, originally intended as a phone wallpaper that many of you already are enjoying, so why stop there?

Hence the t-shirt was born. I’d love to read what you think!

…I’m not going to say much about it.

I am lucky enough to have my father around (although over 10k kilometres away) and in a good relationship with him, but I know that’s not always the case.

I originally was going to send this with a “gift this to your father!” kind of text, but I find those kinds of copy a bit tasteless and not nice for A LOT of people who don’t have the opportunity to do so for whatever reason.

My wife lost her father when she was a teen, my mother lost her father when he was abroad and in his early 50s without a chance of a proper goodbye. I have a lot of friends who also don’t have their father around and these kinds of dates are sort of a constant reminder of that, and probably hurt more than help.

So if you want to get something from the store for your father, that’s going to be a great gift. If you get it for you because you are a father, that’s also a great choice.

And if you get it for yourself or a friend/loved one, and you don’t have the chance to tell your father that you love him because he’s not around anymore, I want to just send you my warmest regards in this upcoming date that’s probably quite shitty for you, but just as the others it shall pass. I’m sure your father knew one way or another, what he meant to you.

Thanks for your support!

There’s a separate waitlist you can join within the “Living Cars” newsletter if you are not in yet.

There, people have a behind the scenes look at the development and process of creating my upcoming book. The topic is “Homologation Specials”.

If this is something that interests you, I invite you to join the waitlist.

You will keep receiving the regular newsletter articles and also the extra ones, specific for the book. I have it set up like this not to overwhelm people with details on the book if they don’t feel like it.
