Firebone

The word ‘Firebone’ is used to identify petrol based engines. Most often used directly to describe pistons which are tuned by hand and used in vintage racing motorbikes. The fuel explodes in the cylinder creating fire, and the piston connecting rod resembles an arm bone. Hence ‘Firebone’.

Firebone is known for its distinctive 'Defiant Tiger' prints. Firebone is inspired by bikes, boards and vintage machines. Concepts are often based around inspirational and rebellious themes. Illustrations are a mix of Japanese tattoo style, comic book and vintage motor racing.

The word ‘firebone’ is sometimes used to describe the energy, focus and motivation people conjure up in themselves, in their minds, to perform amazing feats of strength, daring, skill or endurance. Much like having a burning desire or force within their bodies or bones that push them to excel. People that can summon this kind of inner strength and purpose are thought to have fire in their bones. Many professional athletes, daredevils, adventurers, extreme sports participants often exude firebone characteristics. Surfers, skateboarders, motorcyclists, motor racing drivers, BMX riders, MTB riders, Parkour, Paragliders, Kite surfers all exude firebone personalities. Firebone strengths can also been seen in emergency workers, soldiers and those that perform at the highest levels in their chosen sport or profession.
