Let Moto de Paris

  
Racing art of a period British racer tearing through a screen print poster. Two colors is all it takes with the highlighted non printed white to add the sparkle of movement. Tres Bien!

How! Di ye diy art de ye?

  
Powerful paintings of icons on Triumphs by John Froehlich. Slight abstraction of classic images depicting Steve McQueen as Hilts and Marlon Brando as Johhny.

Pazzo Moto Caricatura 

  
Luca Ruggeri Comics

An Italian Moto artist creates biker art in a comic style with statement… A selection of British bikes are represented here:

   
Manx rocker with big cylinder Norton.

 
Cafe Commando in featherbed.

   
Vacationing on a sport bike.

 
The devil rides out.

  
Caraibi: Italian for Caribbean.

The Great Bird

   
Another example Louise Jennison’s Windsor & Newton daubing. This time the stoic Triumph Thunderbird in pools of watercolor.

 
Cobbled setting for a real-life item. Granite sets rumble under a twins noisy texture.

  
Airbrushed accuracy on promotional artwork. Technically accurate as a contrast to the earlier brushwork.

Watery Shadow

  
The Swiss Watch of motorcycles: Vincent. Here captured in delicate watercolor by an able handed artist Louise Jennison.

Thirty Three

  
This hand painted leather jacket has it all: the Triumph classic logo banners the lumbar, Californian locale pasted across the shoulders, and a hefty race number daubed broadly upon the main area. Time worn and off white adds to the grittiness.

Soul Craft Candy 

A wandering Google trawl turned up this website. Some nice dynamic motorcycle sketches with a fluid line.

  
Ogri-esque which hint at solidity as well as movement with space between the lines and a crisp detail, an artistic flair and jolly attitude. Jon Tremlett is the penman and he’s a designer in West London.

Eight ‘Elmets

A store display offering items for the distinguished cafe racer rider. Pudd’n bowls as well as open-face Davida’s. Pilot goggles and silk scarves as well as a badge buckled belt. The pins adorning the leather jackets lapel are a neat detail too.   
The fair fronted latter day Thruxton is looking the part too. Alloy tank? Why certainly sir!

WooHoo

  
Bonneville wave: a cute couple speeding along into the sixties on their travel ready Triumph. Sunny days ahead for the decade of the space-race, free love and the burgeoning optimism expected under the young JFK.

Have I been good? Well I’ve tried to be… Hopefully the fat bearded bloke received  my xmas list sent up the chimney earlier this month.

Better the Devil you know 

  
Krampus: Saint Nick’s hornéd counterpart who takes care of bad kids! He’s the one who rides motorcycles; Santy just sits in the chair… Good old pagan rituals still strong during this season of goodwill…

Merry Christmas!

F-f-f-Friday

  
Fairing Fun: faded mag advert with long coated rider cutting a stylish dash with a streamlined nosepiece. Bubble visor and smart Italian boots. That coat will flutter madly though…

Chocaholic

  
Today’s advent door reveals a chocolate bike. Cadburys is the best milk chocolate for this to be made with. It also reminds me of the selection boxes you’d get…

I am the Law!

  
Let’s bust into this week with Joe Dredd roaring his Lawmaster through the page. Classic Brian Bolland artwork that has never been bettered.

Giddy Up

  
Just back from a few days in the Southwest. What you need down there is horse power…
