Trev was at the National Motorcyle Expo over the Easter weekend.
I’m sure he’ll put some words up here to detail how much fun he had, but in the meantime he was well impressed by the work of the crew from ECM (East Coast Motorcycles), who are based in Warkworth.
Here’s some pics of their awesome ride, which took out Best American Chopper and Most Inspiring Build.
Well, strike me down, it seems that the cover model for the latest edition of NZ TODAY is none other than our good mate Trevor Lamb. And even more astonishing, retailers have neither refused to stock it, or organised a book-burning!
In fact, the opposite seems to have happened- it sold out in Carterton and had to be re-ordered. I’m obviously nominating the magazine editor for a New Zealand Cross, because I can’t think of anything more brave than sticking Trev on the front and expecting to sell copies.
For my money, writer and photographer Allan Dick has captured a lovely slice of Carterton. Too often some round-ups I’ve read suggest that essentially there are no eateries or accommodation in Carterton, and that you may as well head to Greytown. In Allan’s travels across the north isle, he displays a knack for uncovering local gems and obviously enjoys talking to people from all walks of life. He then does a great job of sharing those stories on paper.
So if you get a chance, grab a copy. For Catertonians, it’s an interesting perspective on Stonehenge Aotearoa, our various mayors, the Matador Motel, Cafe Mirabelle and of course, our man Trevor. But the rest of the article, taking in Whanganui, Wellington, Castle Point and more, is fascinating too, and Allan’s photos are stunning. Highly recommended!
Anyway, I’ve uploaded pics of the Trev bits- click on them to see them bigger.

Trev’s good mate Joel Liochon moved to France last year. Joel’s an amazing illustrator and jewellery designer, as well as being a huge steampunk fan. So it’s little wonder that he loves Trev’s astonishing steampunk helmets, and spends time wandering around Paris in one.
Happily, he’s sent some photos over, so you can see the helmet out in the wild.
It looks like Joel’s in some weird and wonderful steampunk museum. Ah, those crazy Frenchies- you’ve got to love them!
If you grab the latest Carterton Street Scene, you’ll see the cover features one strikingly handsome individual:
Well, it’s got Trev on it anyway. (Only kidding, mate!)

That Trevor Lamb man has been busy! Hot off the press are these brilliant photos of the helmets he did for the fantastic folks at NZONE Skydive. Trev’s talked about taking his work to new heights, but this is ridiculous.
I’m sure Trev will blog more about the making of the helmets and the fact they’ve gone so well he’s got to crank out a whole lot more, but in the meantime, here’s some more photos:
Trev’s just passed on some pictures of an amazing bag he did for Lily, and there are more on the way, so now we’ve got a new menu above for BAGS! Here’s one of the shots:
I’m sure you’d agree with me that it just looks astonishing, and I’m buzzing to see what he comes up with next! Keep an eye out here and I’ll get more pictures up as soon as I can.
Cheers,

Trev’s going to be at American Vehicle Day, so grab your yank tank and head on down there on the 6th of Feb! Details in the flyer below.
Supports the Wellington Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Minty the website man here, jumping in with a quick post.
It’s a fabulous sunny day in Carterton and I was helping Bek with the new mural she’s working on, when the gorgeous Cheryl Jaggard walked by.
As I chatted to her I noticed she was wearing a beautiful headband. Turns out it’s yet another of Trev’s many productions. Fantasy helmets, art, canes, bike bags and now headbands- what can’t the man do with leather?
I grabbed a couple of quick shots. Apologies for the shaky-cam on the first one!
As per usual, click on a pic to see it bigger.

Trev’s asked me to put up a couple of pics of what looks like an awesome event- the NZ Tattoo and Art Festival. He’ll be there- make sure you are too!
Check out their site at nztattooart.com and you’ll be all sorted for the 27th and 28th of November.
A great article in the Wairarapa Times-Age, covering his 17 years of leather work and art, and the way US DJ Corey Mason found him via the web-site and ordered a fantasy helmet.
