Here's something I'm pretty proud of, a new Diner has opened in Essex called the 8 Ball and they have used my photos to decorate the inside.

They're all over the doors, bar, menus, walls and even the windows :D

Check it out next time your on the A12 http://www.8balldiner.com/

Well Done. Wonderful stuff. I'll be doing a stateside road trip in a couple of weeks with some Route 66 diners and motels to visit. Expecting to get a blister on my shutter finger.
 
Very nice, bet you're chuffed as f*, oops, anything.
 
Thats really cool, been watching that place be transformed for the past few weeks, looks really nice now.

TP meet in Witham anyone to sample the food and see Nicks' shots? :)
 
Nice one
drive past their quite often
To the OP - you're not the dude on the A12 with all the old Amrican classics are you?

d'you think? I'm not sure it's going to get any more business than the previous place to be honest unless by word of mouth which takes time. It's not on th ebest of strips on the A12.
 
Nice shots.

It looks like the owners are going for an image which draws people in, becomes a bit of a cult place.

Though you could be right, because cults are not for the masses.....

Hope it does succeed, it looks good.

Fantastic!
 
Thanks guys, appreciate it :D

The venue has been set up to host regular car and bike meets throughout the month, rather than rely on passing trade http://www.8balldiner.com/category/events/upcoming so depending when you go you will see Hot Rods or Scooters or VWs or Minis, etc

I'm not the dude on the A12 with the classics, I'm based down in Croydon but I do drive the 57 Chevy in my avatar :)

and following on in the quote from the song - "maybe get a blister on your thumb" (from the scrolls through the images)
 
Nice, good to know about this place too. May go along sometime, love cars, just not in a max power way so will maybe go to a Retro event.
 
No2 in particular works a treat in the position they've put it.

Not sure what you mean by the window shots being transparent during the day - how does it work?
 
Congrats. Seen a few of the images on VZI aswell.
Looks a superb place. Shame its miles away from me :'(
 
Thanks Scott :)

Like magic :)
 
They have it on some buses. The outside looks like a big advert hoarding but the passengers can still see outside. Expect to see people being paid to do it to their house front windows one day. And cars.
 
How great to have your creative work being viewed and displayed everyday. Looks terrific! Will pop in sometime as live in East Anglia and pass that way sometimes.
