The 10 Best Posts Of 2009

Another year gone..in a flash. Last year it was 600-odd posts, this year we amped it up to 900-odd and next year we aim to create over 1,000 posts for your viewing pleasure. Once again, to our old fans and to our newest readers; a huge thank you from the ESPV team for continuing to support and read our blog daily...Big Up and have a good New Year!!

10. Awesome Tags. It's probably been getting lots of hits cos of my use of that wonderful American word 'awesome'....

9. 3 Modern House Designs. 3 Architectural marvels in modern living...

8. ESP Flaming Skull Guitar. This custom guitar design by Jimmy Diresta costs a whopping US$14,999! Luckily, it also comes with a velvet lined, coffin shaped case.

7. Corset Piercings by Dan Brailey. Highly original fetishistic piercings...

6. Chaz Bojorquez; Cholo Writer. Chaz is the Godfather of Cholo-style graffiti in LA and in this post are some lovely old pics of gang graff from the 70's & 80's.

5. Concept Robots By Tham Hoi Mun. A Malaysian conceptual artist who has an impressive array of design skills and a good eye for mech designing.

4. Hubless Custom Motorcycle. Hubless wheels work by fixing the rotating parts onto the outer side of a non-rotating inner ring that attaches to the motorcycle's swingarm or forks...whatever, it looks incredible! Watch the video!

3. Takashi Amano Pt. 3. Seems like you guys and girls really enjoy gawping at Mr Amano's ecological beauties...Don't worry, I do too and plan to be posting lots more amazing fishtanks in the coming year.

2. Hot Toys Joker 12-inch Figure. Yes, that's a picture of the toy, not of Heath Ledger. 35 points of articulation, a Parallel Eyeball Rolling System...possibly the best toy ever made.

1. Bad Tattoos. Yep, it seems like you all yearn to see pictures of tattooed dolphins smoking bongs in lazyboys and Patrick Swayze (RIP) reincarnated as a gay centaur with a tux shirt....Good to know that our viewers are an intelligent and sophisticated lot!

See you in 2010!! We are going for 1,000 posts next year, so be sure to check us out on the regular!
