CRAZY PIG DESIGN August news

Nice to see team GB perform so well at the Olympics
We had  a few athletes popping in during the events.
bringing a new and unexpected clientele to CPD

The closing ceremony was truly grand  apart from....
"I tell you what I Really really really want, GET OFF MY TV!"
But at least THE WHO closed the night with some REAL LIVE MUSIC.
The ROLLING STONES should have been there! For sure!

Anyway , here's the CPD  August updates
The GUITAR BOOK is well on the way with about 230 pages already done
This is a big project and has taken a lot of my time but it should be well worth the wait.
Two major publishing companies have shown interest without even having seen a single page.

The New CD is also progressing well
13 Tracks of real HEAVY ROCK a la ZEPPELIN/VAN HALEN/SABBATH/QOTSA.
Drums and bass will be recorded in New York by two name session musicians who
are also happen to be good friends.

Also in the pipeline
After my whole life spent with GUITARS and designing I finally decided to design
my own  GUITAR.
This is still a well guarded project but the first two guitars will be ready before the end of
the year. This guitar will be COOOOOLLLLL!

CLASSIC ROCK /GOTH issue  out this month with a full CRAZY PIG DESIGN page

JAMES HETHFIELD LARGE EVIL SKULL RING

Great to see JAMES HETHFIELD on the cover
of ROCK HARD magazine
still wearing my old classic ring ,
the LARGE EVIL SKULL RING
that I designed in the early eighties.

It appears to have survived very well
years of intense touring
A friend of mine in Japan calls his
EVIL SKULL RING
an OLD SOLDIER  Yes ! It surely is!
OLD SOLDIER NEVER DIES!

HARRY POTTER custom made jewellery

We made quite a few custom made items for the various HARRY POTTER
movies, mot noticeble is the three items worn by BELLATRIX
A BIRD SKULL pendant and a BIRD SKULL RING and the

really awesome TOUJOURS PUR SKULL RING .
But for you eagled eye fans of HARRY POTTER
here's a few more items that might have caught your attention.
It was a great honour to have been chosen by the HARRY POTTER
team to custom made all the different items they required.

Favourite SKULL RING

Favourite SKULL RING

As I had already designed and made many skull rings
I thought I might make one special just for me,
I had been wearing my Large Evil Skull ring for many years
and I thought " Time to do a new one"
I wanted it to be "MEAN LOOKING"
and cartoon style with exagerated features
like a big square jaw and small frowning eyes.
I did not bother about sketching anything on paper
I had a clear idea in my head so it came very quickly.
So , there it was my new SKULL RING,
I had to give it a name , like I previously did for
other earlier designs like
The plague ring, Large Evil Skull, Rot in peace
Lucifer, Catacombs,etc,,,
So I named it PSKYCHO KILLER
after the famous TALKING HEADS song,

As soon as I had this SKULL RING on my finger
it created a lot of interest from my friends and customers
but I was determined to keep this as a one off.
I remember one of the first to look at it was
BILLY IDOL, he loved the ring and he said
It was not fair that it was no available to the public,
He was right !
So it became another CLASSIC SKULL RING
Here it is with a CUSTOM FINISH
LEAN and MEAN!
