Bill Johnson (azbill) President of the DucCutters DOC
I'm an enthusiast of motorcycle, weapons and big breasted blondes (not necessary in that order). My hobbies include customizing Italian race bikes (Ducati's preferably), photography and visiting new places. I'm a professional designer and photographer. I create everything from printer marketing materials (catalogs, magazines, etc.), eCommerce web sites, video games graphics, mechanical hardware, sports photography, modeling portfolios, to custom motorcycle parts.
I started the this web site in 2004 after winning the Ducati Monster Challenge in Long Beach. The site was originally just my projects. Then I started adding projects from my friends and other Monster Challenge participants. After a few months it snow balled into a huge collection of custom Ducati's and other Italian motorcycles. "DucCutters" formally known as "TurboMonster" has changed the name of the site to better represent all the people contributing. Not all the projects are Turbo'ed or Monsters, so TurboMonster doesn't really fit anymore. But we all like cutting up Duc's, therefore we are now DucCutters! DucCutters became one of Ducati's official "Desmo Owner's Club (DOC)" in 2007. Click Here for Details. I was President of the Phoenix bases "Desert Ducatisti" DOC for five years before starting DucCutters.
The primary sponsor of DucCutters is my graphic design company Possession Studios. Possession Studios provides graphic design and photography services. We have provided design services since 1991 to companies ranging from small back room start up's to fortune 500 companies. Specialty is in catalogs, magazines, direct mail materials and Internet solutions. With an emphasis on professional photography, illustration and layout.
