Motorcycle Art

[cv_rider]

We have had some people post interesting art depicting motorcycles. Here is my entry: construction paper plus photoshopping a picture of a sculpture my wife gave me for my birthday.

I've been wondering what bike that sculpture most represents, as a V-twin standard with dual under-seat exhausts. Maybe Buell, Ducati, or SV650? You can't see it in the picture, but both exausts mount to the front cylinder, so that's an interesting innovation.

Post yours! We have some neat time-elapse photos, someone has been doing metal cut-outs with back-illuminated glass, and photoshops. Maybe other stuff too.

I have a few I could put up.

The first one I did for yoshimura,they made a poster out of it.
The Bostrom one was featured on the now defunct Gregs Garage.

Wow, that's nice! Look like painted? I like the 4th one, with the right hand lean, the most. Are these from photos, or are you coming up with it out of your head?

 

[jwfzr]

Thanks, they are based off of photos for the most part. These are all done with colored pencil.

Here are a couple "artsy" photoshops of mine:

color pencil:

charcoal:

enjoy!

Nice! Charcoal is my favorite medium. I'm working on something now on a 12"x18" sheet, but something that size usually takes me months to finish, at the rate I go.

Just some more stuff I've done over the years.

JW, I really like the FZ1 and Art Trevitt -those have great contrast. Is this just a hobby for you? It looks like professional-level talent to me.

 

[jwfzr]

Thanks a lot. I do this full time in the winter months and commercial fish in Alaska the rest of the time. The one of Trevitt is Andrew Trevitt from Sport Rider. He was severely injured this past fall doing tire testing. That one was in the Feb. 05 issue of sportrider.

Stunning stuff, that is some serious talent!

This doesn't technically feature a motorcycle, but it does feature a dragon serving the purpose of a motorcycle, with a motorcycle saddle and top case. So it counts.

 

[mstewar1]

Wow, that's really some great work. Very nice, indeed.

 

[mastakilla]

jwfzr your stuff is amazing wow!!

 

[cv_rider]

Finished this project up this weekend. Had been working on it for six months! From the 2009 HD brochure. Pencil.
