Bike Art

Here's a three-piece wall hanging I've been working on for my cousin's little boy. Each piece is 5" x 10", and they will be matted and framed to hang on the wall.

I was going for the "hand-drawn" look, so I avoided using a compass or protractor and kept the use of the straight-edge to a minimum. I am hoping it evokes the work of Garth Williams, whose illustrations of E.B. White's Stuart Little remain my benchmark for perfection.
Anyway, I was pretty pleased with them, when all was said and done.

  2. Cool, I dig that a lot. The triptych look is fantastic ... and nice drawing skills. You should post some pictures of the finished/framed version.

  4. Well, thank you very kindly. The pictures are going to Tennessee, so I will have to see if someone will photograph the final installation and send it to me to post.

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
