Hi Everyone,

A few months ago, myself, Rcubed and Mananetwork decided to start a car blog focusing on cars and photography. We've finally launched the site tonight with our first post and I hope that the community will support our efforts. The blog is called Art of Stance (http://www.artofstance.com) but don't let the name fool you. We do love stanced cars but we're not going to just featured stanced rides. The 3 of us love modified, vintage, classic, rare, exotic cars and we love photography!

As the site grows, we will be featuring cars and events from the Westcoast. We want Art of Stance to showcase the great cars and culture of where we live. I like to thank Shoei for giving us a chance to tell you about it. I'm excited about our launch and I hope you guys become regular readers.

I can't think of anything else to say for now but check out the site! It may be a little sparse right now but we got some great cars that'll be featured soon. I'll let Richard and Tom speak for themselves if they want to add anything.

Nice to see a blog that's gonna be dedicated to a variety of local cars. Hopefully it'll help people get out of their comfort zone and start appreciating all kinds of cars

[EndLeSS8]

Just a heads up to everyone, be careful of other people stealing photos and cropping out watermarks

The Twisted Underground stole pictures from Mayday Garage (They took the pictures of the red widebody NSX) and they have been doing post edits and post deletions. More info here:

oh snapp... shit just got real? xD

but damn...

[sKyLinekc]

Jesus this is so sick, you should try taking pictures for MWDesign cars

[Matsuda]

you've mistaken the site to be artofshame.com

[moky]

^ what's wrong with MW Design? their cars look pretty good
http://www.mwdesigntechnik.com/gallery.html

[RCubed]

i think he got confused with mmdesign

[Matsuda]

ahh I did, my bad. No disrespect to MWDesign

[sKyLinekc]

LOL haha yeah, I've seen a few mmdesign cars outside of BOSS nightclub every now and then nothing special about em so I see where you're coming from. I have a friend that works at mwdesign, I believe he did the BMW Darthmaul, and he drives a BMW Z4. You can see his pictures if you google "MWDesign Z4".

http://blog.mwdesigntechnik.com/headline/mwdesign-e89-z4-project-slingshot-preview/

Your guys stuff is pretty sick and I love it, not quite sure if there's any other groups that can rival you guys ;) maybe my point and shoot canon from 05 ;) LOL jks

[Matsuda]

ahh I've seen those BMW photos before, Matt's a great photographer!

lol too bad with the rig, the celica is slightly deformed otherwise a fantastic shot

[terryjai]

very nice and clean shots man =)

[Chin.Up]

Great idea with the blog guys! Good luck with everything.

[Hehe]

Very clean design and SICK pics!!! Huge props!!

Some of my 0.02, is it possible to, instead of posting a huge single pic (leaving very little room for text) have smaller sized pics and format the texts a little bit that it doesn't stretch the full length along pics?

I know this blog isn't so much about writing, and more about pictures... but for the 5 min I spent reading through the blog, I find it hard to read along.

Again, great works!!!

[Matsuda]

yep the layout will get more varied as the site grows. Thx for the suggestions =)

^What constitutes a "nice" car to you? I thought it was an awesome meet with a diverse crowd.

Remember, this wasnt a "Hella flush" meet. It was held in a gravel lot. :)
