Well known fact: I'm Ukrainian. 100%. Although something like 3rd generation Canadian if you want to get all technical. My grandparents on both sides of the family emigrated from Kiev. I'm extremely proud of my purebred pedigree, so if you know me in real life this is old news.

So understandably I'm all puffed up after seeing these amazing pictures by Mustang, a Kiev based builderer. Holy fucking shit Batman! Run, don't walk, over to his site http://www.mustang-wanted.com/en. There's lots of video content, photos, and despite the language barrier it's obvious he's a genuinely nice guy. All he wants for a sponsorship is some damn headphones!

More photos here and here. Nice news piece on the build-up here.

With permission and, I'm guessing, sponsored by a hair implants company. And yes, I'm happy to link to them cos Alain deserves the clicks. And given my hairline (and that of Ard), these sorts of favours might come in handy one day.

Because Kiell has the last 5 front page posts...
