The Devils Detail

04/21/2022

Giving a quick check-in. During covets we barely worked on motorcycles. We survived covid pandemic without getting sick, thanks to our willingness in taking on all of the challenges that all of us had to live up to during that time. We're hoping you and those important to you did well too. Some of you know during the summer of 2021, I, Devon, had three separate silent heart attacks in a two month period. Thank you everyone for your well wishing, surprising inspiration. The partner in-crime at DeDe, Stephan, weathered better than me, during our absence from work. This past Veterans Day, he was honored by The city of San Francisco and her Honorable Mayor London Breed for his services in the US Navy from twenty-five years ago. Though our health is well, we are presently in the process of building-up our strength, me from the heart attacks and him in losing weight. Detailing is a lot of physical work and we want to show up for you in top form. We are hoping and planning on resurfacing in June. This is us at the Harry Potter play just after they reopened from the pandemic, even they had to reopen cautiously. Thank you for respecting the way we are coming back.

WE ARE HERE, BUT DETOURED.
We have been hit up with alot at the last month and a half. Both of us lost friends and family recently and have been placed in odd positions.
Stephan's a strange father past, as the only child that left Stephan next of kin. All of the responsibilities attached to that title fell upon him. He struggles with PTSD from serving in the Navy, pretty much on a daily basis. (It is why he works for me, so I can help give him something more to be proud of.) He needed my help with this. He had to deal with the hosiptal and the morgue, then drive his father's truck back to his father's home from the hospital, over 200 miles away, across the state of Michigan. Very challenging and as usual he doesn't see his true stregthe. I'm here to remind him of it while helping him. We're still in the mid west.
For me, Devon, I had also lost significant people recently, that surprised me and set me back as well. I also had knee surgery back in the beginning of July that didn't go well. The recovery time has gone longer then anyone expected. And two weeks ago I had a chest attack/heart attack. Due to my high metabolism and getting blood work dune a week after my doctor thinks my blood work showed a faults negative. When I get back to SF I'm facing a few awaited heart test with dyes.
I'm dodging returning work calls, cuz I just don't know what to say.
Out of anything I can do artisticly, I'm keeping the medium simple with pen and paper and the visual graphic in text. That's my long way of saying I'm writing. I long for the relationship with canvas and paints, but I just don't have the time for it these days. Writing while taking a dump will mean I'm writing most days.
A nolonger set back was dealing my cell phone being stollen from me in one of those hostage negotiation setting. They weren't able to tap into my accounts so they wanted a ransom for the return of my cell phone. Taunting me for a week and a half. Extremely taxing. I felt like I was beyond naked. I never payed it, got a new one instead. I've always memorize my passwords to make it harder to break in to my cell or my desktop if you are not me.
BUT, (ugh) I lose all my contacts and texts. So if you have called or texted me, I encourage you to do so again. I hadn't got everyone longed down in to a hard copy formate.
The other very hard thing I've been dealing with was the flood in my apartment last February is still on going in repairs. I so miss my bed.
Out side of all that...
Believe it or not things are well. We are alive and healthy. We've been vaccinated twice and don't challenge mask mandates. We are just taking care of things that we hadn't planned for. We are moving forward, we are hopping to connect in September.
All the best to you and hoping all of you and those you love and like are well.
Thank you for reading and checking in.
Feel free to call, text or private message us here. The Devil's Detail number is still the same. You find it on the connecting Fb page for The Devils Detail.

*ATTENTION* BAD NEWS FOR YOU YELPERS HERE!!
I just found out Yelp has been rejecting reviews for The Devil's Detail. Yelp has been denying reviews from my clients for a while and I don't know how long this has been going on. Yelp said that they are non-legit reviews, "fake" reviews due to the reviewer hadn't done enough reviews with other businesses. When I heard that, I flashed on at least a dozen clients who said that they would give a yelp review but they had never yelped before. Yelp told me this yesterday after I called them to find-out about a client's Yelp review that was up for three days. After they explained why, I told them this: "So, in other words, my clients don't get freedom of speech due to them not in your click of people on your platform." A long moment of silence went by before Yelp employee said, "Well, that's the way you want to look at it." How junior high school-ish, and extremely manipulative, ran through my mind.
I am so sorry if you had taken the time out to be so generous to give us a Yelp review and it was never posted.
California just brought Yelp to court for restricting yelpers freedom of speech, Yelp lost. Please let me know if this had happen to you either down below, or private message me, call me or text me 415-439-9275. Thank you for all who have Yelped regardless if it never meet our eyes.

My work will be here!
Opening Friday, December 13, 2019, at the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA will be exhibited seven classic motorcycles from the 1970 out of twenty motorcycles that The Devil's Detail detailed. That's the third of the show. With the help of Stephan Steffanides, him and I got those seven bikes ready for the year long show in LA. This is extremely rear opportunity.
If you are interested and in the LA in the next year checkout the bikes and you can see what I do that they call hear in the Bay Area "magic."
This also marks the second time my work landed in a museum show.
It's not my artwork but it is my artistical talents on someone else's artwork.

Do you believe in magic, patience, elbow grease, determination or will.?
Hope does not bring this, sometimes wishing does.
What do you think it is?
And what is it for you?

On my way home tonight I came across cops cleaning-up from a motorcycle accident caused by a car hitting it. The officer told me that he wasn't sure of the condition of the driver of the motorcycle but was in good hands at the hospital.
Inside I actually gasped as I looked at the condition of the bike. The chances of me knowing the driver was uncomfortably high.
I so am wishing all of you the very best and pray the Force is running... riding strong with all of you as you enjoy your rides. This was a reminder that we are a part of this motorcycle community, which makes us somewhat like family.
Stephan and myself are sending only the best energy to our family and community. Love and peace.
