“CRAFT OF SPEED” STICKERS NOW AVAILABLE

During the making of our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary, we discovered amazing archival photos of Dean MOON having his famous MOON Equipment Company stickers printed. Before the concept of branding was widely used, Dean was a genius at marketing, advertising, and brand-building, creating his iconic MOON logo, painting all of his race cars in his yellow and black team colors, and putting MOON in the names of all of his race cars—the MOONEYES Dragster, MOONLINER, MOONBEAM, and many more. MOONEYES carries on Dean’s visionary branding to this day.

To design our own “Craft of Speed” sticker, we couldn’t help but think of MOONEYES’ powerful branding that’s lasted the test of time. We worked with Sven Igawa of Igawa Design, an award-winning graphic designer and longtime creative partner, on all of our marketing materials, from our movie poster to our DVD to our photography book to our stickers. We wanted to create something that could pay tribute to MOONEYES’ timeless stickers and long history of design.

DAVE SHUTEN’S “A SPARK OF COLOR” OPENS AT THE COREY HELFORD GALLERY

Congratulations to Dave Shuten on his new art exhibition, “A Spark of Color,” at the Corey Helford Gallery! The show is on view from 4/4/2026 to 5/9/2026. Owned by Jan Corey Helford and her husband, Bruce Helford, the gallery is one of the leading ones of New Contemporary art.

We had the honor of interviewing Dave for our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary. He’s the lead builder at Galpin Auto Sports and has restored many of legendary Ed Roth’s show cars. He’s also one of the stars of the Discovery Channel series, “Galpin Auto Sports.” He’s not only a respected builder but also a talented artist, combining his passions in this exhibit.

The opening reception on Saturday, 4/4/2026 was an incredible event attended by many devoted fans and passionate art lovers. Entering the immense exhibit space, visitors were greeted by giant sculptures of spark plugs, outlined in black and painted in bright neon colors. Mounted on the wall were profiles of more spark plugs. Under the exhibit signage were large reclining forms painted with a spark plug and other bold designs in the same color palette.

We love how Dave was able to turn a tiny unassuming spark plug into a huge colorful sculpture—transforming something mundane into fine art. Upon closer examination, the vibrant paint and its subtle gradations also reveal his master craftsmanship. His brilliant work ignites our imagination.

SENDING LOVE FROM NORTHEAST L.A. TO HAWAII

Hawaii is a very special place to us. We’re proud to say that many of our family, friends, and crew are from there. Last year, we screened our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary for MOONEYES Hawaii—one of the highlights of our journey in independently distributing our film. Our hearts go out to the people of Hawaii who are suffering from what “Time” magazine calls “the worst flooding to hit the state in over two decades.”

On Sunday, 3/29/2026, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., MOONEYES and “Craft of Speed” will be special guests along with NHK Broadcasting’s “Real Travel English” at Makina Drivers Club’s Sunday Service, a popular car show, at The Oinkster, a famous restaurant in Eagle Rock, California. We’ll have limited copies of our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Photography Book for sale. Makina Drivers Club will also be dropping a limited edition collaboration t-shirt with MOONEYES for the event.

A portion of the proceeds of the book and t-shirt will go toward Hawaii flood relief. The funds will be donated to the Lahui Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Ko’olauloa, Hawaii that “strives to become a dependable resource for underrepresented and underserved communities here in Hawai’i. Protection and preservation of culture, ‘aina and quality of life is our main focus.”

Thank you to everyone for your support. Wishing a quick recovery from Northeast L.A. to Hawaii.

MOONEYES & “CRAFT OF SPEED” TO BE SPECIAL GUESTS AT MAKINA DRIVERS CLUB’S SUNDAY SERVICE AT THE OINKSTER

We’re excited to announce that MOONEYES and “Craft of Speed” will be special guests along with NHK Broadcasting’s “Real Travel English” at Makina Drivers Club’s Sunday Service at The Oinkster on Sunday, 3/29/2026, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. In a short time, Sunday Service has become a popular car show at the famous Eagle Rock restaurant, showcasing a wide range of vehicles.

Earlier, Makina Drivers Club had established a unique retail space out of a shipping container next to The Oinkster’s distinctive A-frame building. With its unpretentious industrial vibe and the restaurant’s gourmet take on American classics, they together have become a warm and inviting community hub for car enthusiasts.

In addition to Sunday Service, which is held on every last Sunday of the month, Makina Drivers Club also holds its Midweek Machines on Wednesdays, which is one of the few car shows in Los Angeles during the week. With an eclectic mix of cars and special menus, it’s the perfect break for foodie car people.

Headquartered in Santa Fe Springs, California and Yokoahama, Japan, MOONEYES will be coming out to North East Los Angeles, home of Makina Drivers Club and The Oinkster, where there’s a strong car community. MOONEYES will be bringing their iconic dragster to the event.

NHK, also known as Japan Broadcasting Company, is one of the leading broadcasters and the only public one in Japan. As a public broadcaster, they’re able to create unique and engaging programming, including “Real Travel English.”

Our friends at Teofilo Coffee Company will be providing the exceptional coffee service. They showcase unique speciality coffees of the Philippines with a powerful mission to give back to the country.

A heartfelt thank you to Nick Tolosa & Makina Drivers Club and Max Guerrero & The Oinkster for this wonderful opportunity to share our project with the Northeast L.A. community! Thank you to our fellow special guests, Shige Suganuma, Chico Kodama, & MOONEYES, NHK, and Ron Dizon & Teofilo Coffee Company, for your support of this great event. Special thanks to Erwin Federizo & Oficina M’Arte for your extraordinary creative work.

DOCUMENTING MURALIST DAMIN LUJAN

We love documenting the process of creating art. Recently, we had the opportunity to photograph artist/muralist Damin Lujan, also known as zaoone, painting a dynamic mural for the Anaheim Convention Center. We met him at MOONEYES events, most recently at their Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show.

Instead of a traditional projector to sketch his artwork on the site, he uses the latest technology—a VR headset that maps his artwork onto the wall. It was a surreal experience trying on the headset and seeing the concept artwork in place.

From there, Damin uses his preferred medium of spray paint. Growing up in Venice and Santa Monica, California, he’s influenced by graffiti, skateboarding, and the vibrant local scene. He also finds inspiration in mid-century and Japanese design.

Master photographer Elliott Erwitt famously said, “Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.” While we shot both in color and black and white, we like how B&W interprets Damin’s otherwise colorful work. Bold graphic design. Fluid painting style. And powerful impact.

Thank you so much to Autumn Riggle and Bill Jagenow of Brothers Custom Automotive for sharing our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary trailer at the upcoming Detroit Autorama! As a special guest of Brothers Custom Automotive, Chico Kodama of MOONEYES will be attending the event, known as “America’s Greatest Hot Rod Show.” It will be wonderful to introduce the incredible story of MOONEYES to the Detroit automotive community.

We had the pleasure of meeting Autumn and Bill at the recent Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show. As huge MOONEYES fans, they try to attend the popular show every year, traveling all the way from Troy, Michigan, where their shop is based.

We were able to enjoy their company again at our screening at Analog&Grit in San Diego. As part of our cinema event, we celebrated the legendary Bean Bandits, who are based in San Diego. Bill is a member of the respected racing team so they came to support our event.

Because we’re independently distributing our film, we deeply appreciate the support of devoted MOONEYES fans like Autumn and Bill in helping to get the word out about it.

ANALOG&GRIT: A HUB FOR THE CAR COMMUNITY AND THE HOST OF “CRAFT OF SPEED”

The very first time we visited Analog&Grit, we were taken aback by its immense size—a cavernous warehouse. As a collector car storage club, it houses many coveted vehicles—vintage Porsches, BMWs, Mini Coopers, Datsuns, to name a few. It even has a Mercedes-Benz Unimog, which could survive an apocalypse. With its hip industrial vibe and passionate people, it’s no wonder that it’s become a hub for the car community.

We’re honored to be able to work with Analog&Grit in bringing our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary to San Diego and creating a memorable cinema event. We’ll be screening our film on a unique Urban Entertainment Vehicle (UEV) by Control Entertainment. We’re thrilled to celebrate two legendary racing teams and longtime friends, MOONEYES and the Bean Bandits, and display their renowned race cars.

We’re excited to showcase talented photographer Zap Teshima’s powerful photos of the Bean Bandits. Before the film, we’ll be in conversation with the Bean Bandits and respected builder Willie Masayoshi Dorsey. We’re also very moved by the generous support of Vintage Motor Union in organizing a “Honor the Past” Rally of vintage vehicles from Los Angeles to San Diego to attend the screening.

We met Analog&Grit through the thoughtful introduction of Ian & Cindy Delos Santos. Our cinema event wouldn’t be possible without all of these good friends and community partners coming together. Our deepest appreciation to them.

ZAP TESHIMA’S PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BEAN BANDITS TO BE DISPLAYED AT “CRAFT OF SPEED” MOONEYES DOCUMENTARY SCREENING AT ANALOG&GRIT

We first saw Zap Teshima at a MOONEYES Christmas Party at Irwindale Speedway many years ago. He was carrying a vintage Leica camera and and taking a break from shooting at the MOONEYES booth. We love Leica so we thought it was cool that he was using one. Later, we finally met him at another MOONEYES event and bonded through the love of photography.

Since then, we’ve become huge fans of his powerful photography—contrasty black-and-white images, using natural light with dynamic framing, of hot rod culture and beyond that feel intimate and authentic. They remind us of master photographer Robert Frank’s seminal book, “The Americans.”

In addition to legendary MOONEYES, a frequent subject is the equally renowned Bean Bandits, whom he documents with passion. At our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary screening at Analog&Grit in San Diego on Sunday, 1/25/2026, we’ll be digitally exhibiting some of his photographs of the Bean Bandits. We’re deeply honored to display Zap’s incredible work.

THE BEAN BANDITS TO DISPLAY RACE CARS AT ANALOG&GRIT’S SCREENING OF "CRAFT OF SPEED” MOONEYES DOCUMENTARY

We’re excited to announce that the legendary Bean Bandits will be a part of our “Craft of Speed” screening at Analog&Grit in San Diego on Sunday, 1/25/2026. Founded by esteemed builder/racer Joaquin Arnett in 1949 and based in Logan Heights, San Diego, they have won more than 300 races and set multiple land speed records. Both having long, rich, and shared histories, the Bean Bandits and MOONEYES are old friends.

According to “San Diego Drag Racing and the Bean Bandits,” “Arnett won the first National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Championship in 1953, was named to the International Car Racing Hall of Fame in 1992, and was awarded an NHRA Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994.”

We love the diversity and inclusivity of this racing club. Daniel Strohl in “Joaquin Arnett/Bean Bandits” on hemmings.com writes, “Though several other stories of the name’s inspiration have been told, they all come back to the club’s reappropriation of an ethnic slur against Mexican-Americans, who made up most of the club’s membership. Of course, club members were always quick to point out their all-inclusive nature, incorporating blacks (notably Harold Miller), whites, Japanese, and even Lebanese members during the club’s existence.”

The Bean Bandits will be exhibiting three of their renowned race cars that showcase their past and recent history at Analog&Grit, including Joaquin Arnett’s flathead-powered dragster, their #200 flathead-powered modified roadster, and possibly Fabian Valdez’s nitro fuel roadster.

After the screening, we’ll be in conversation with the Bean Bandits and respected builder Willie Masayoshi Dorsey, who knew Arnett and restored MOONEYES machinist Fred Larsen’s land speed record-setting 1927 Ford Model T Roadster A115.

We’re deeply honored to be able to celebrate the famed Bean Bandits in their hometown.

We met Savant through Nick Tolosa of Makina Drivers Club’s thoughtful introduction. We couldn’t help but love what he does for the community—celebrating diversity, uplifting others, and building community. He organized this rally on his own, and we were deeply moved by his kind gesture.

Thanks to the invitation of Oliver Wang and the Japanese American National Museum’s “Cruising J-Town: Behind the Wheel of the Nikkei Community” Exhibit, we had the honor of participating in the Nisei Week Grand Parade with Savant this past summer. These photos are of him meeting Shige Suganuma and Chico Kodama of MOONEYES before the parade.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: FIND YOUR PASSION.

When we met Shige Suganuma and Chico Kodama of MOONEYES, we were deeply inspired to create a documentary about their incredible lives and legendary company. We’ve learned so much about life during the making of this film. In particular, they taught us about the importance of doing what you love. While it’s not easy, it’s profoundly fulfilling. We hope that our photos in the “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Photography Book like this one conveys that core idea and inspires you in your own pursuits. Check out our book at Kinokuniya at The Shops at Santa Anita or our next screening at Analog&Grit in San Diego on Sunday, 1/25/2026.
