Restless painter and artist as well as our translator and mediator, yoshi47 designed this bottle for SimWorks.

It’s called T.A.F.U. (Totally All Fucked Up) bottle and now it’s ready to launch onto your hands.

We choose Purist bottle for Less plastic smell.

He says, “Shit happens a lot in anyone’s lives you know… like you are glad that you are alive after a serious accident, or anything hardcore you do on a street, outdoor activities, like surfing, biking, skating…. The more you encounter fucked up situations, the stronger you are going to be and at the same time the more you are going to be wasted and extremely stupid. Moreover, it also makes you incredibly attractive person. Fixed gear, road, mountain, bmx, or whatever that has pedals, they all have dangerous opportunities to get wasted or survived. Once death hates you, it means that you deserve to have an amazing life for sure. It tells us so many things after all. This is not an encouraging text to you or anything like that… I simply want you to go through T.A.F.U. situations as many as possible in order to enjoy your life maximally. Don’t deal with it, just enjoy the moment.”
