Dakam The Halls
It’s the first of December and I
simply can’t contain my excitement for Christmas any longer! If it wasn’t for
all the hate mail I anticipated, I would have been posting about Christmas in
November! If you know me, you know I LOVE Christmas and this year is no
different. Whilst I haven’t put my tree up just yet (I think my housemates
would kill me) I know it’s just around the corner, and I’ve already been
shopping for Christmas presents and treats.

| For those who don't mind being on Santa's naughty list |
Something I was adamant I was not
going to miss out on this year, are the incredible baubles produced by Dakam. I’ve
been following Dave’s work for quite some time now and last year I spotted the
amazing bauble sets he was producing, which feature hand-painted kustom pin
striping. The ideal ornament for the hot rodder in your life, these beautiful
baubles add a touch of badassery to your Christmas tree. I was lucky enough to
have Dave create a very special set of baubles for me, kustom coloured and
decorated with Sheri Bomb – and I can’t wait to hang them on my tree!
Whether buying for a gift or
simply to add a touch of ‘rockabilly’ to your festive season, these baubles are
painstakingly hand pinstriped with 1 shot paint and come in a variety of
colours and designs. Choose from the existing range of baubles, or contact Dave
Dakam to place a custom order. You can choose your colours, choose your design
and even get names or messages put onto them. Shipped with the most delicate
care, the bauble sets are presented in clear boxes that make storage safe and
easy. The only problem is, they look so great you’ll want to have them out all
year round!
Located in the South East suburbs of Melbourne, Dakam is a self-described ‘wannabe’ artist, however I think his work speaks volumes about his ability. Despite only being able to dedicate part time to his craft, Dakam has been pinstriping and creating art for the last 5 years. Despite enjoying art in high school, he waited another 20 years before he unleashed his talent on the world and although he had misgivings in the beginning, afraid he would be wasting his time, his art has been well-received, boosting his self-esteem and spurring him on to continue to create more.
That is great news for us! It
means we get to benefit not just from Dakam’s baubles, but from his myriad of
other influences and creations which include hand painted kustom retro coolers,
flying eyeball artwork, classic Rat Fink designs, incredible skate decks
(including one showcased in the GreazeFest art show) and tiki inspired artwork
including a VERY cool set of hand painted ‘tiki time’ bamboo drinking glasses.
Because Christmas is the time for
giving, Dave Dakam has been very kind to offer a set of 6 kustom baubles to one
lucky Sheri Bomb reader just in time for Christmas.
To WIN a set of 6 baubles with
your choice of kustom colour combo and pinstriping simply:
- Leave a comment with your email address (so I can contact you if you win!)
Each method
gives you another to chance to win!
Winner will be drawn at random on Friday 11 December. Winner will be notified via email. Winner must have bauble order to Dakam by 5pm Monday 14 December in order to receive their prize before Christmas. Don’t forget to check out Dakam’s Etsy store for more of his fantastic art and if you’re interested in ordering your own kustom set of baubles, email dakam1@bigpond.com
