hey hey hey hey
some of you saw my spokecard/print that i made a while back with the track bike.. well! im planning on doing a larger poster series of the freak bikes w/ their names in a specific style.. but i need your help!
does anyone have some pretty sweet photos of the bikes, [ any really. but im thinking more like fuzz's billy, richie's kabuki sky, matt/alex/erocks tall bikes, the bbq bike, this projected shopping cart bike.. etc the more ridiculous the better. ] hopefully more of a profile shot, and riderless.. and the clearer the better! also high res! if anyone has one that i could just sketch off of id be so stoked! if the bikes had names, id be even more stoked!
i'm looking at you, AT/Erock/Jonny/Richie/Franz.. help help help! if it works out and i made these posters [ providing my hand doesn't have a melt down ] ill definitely do it so that when i sell the posters a portion of the profit benefits the scene!

what if we set up a photoshoot at the next los angelepes for you, to get nice high res clean shots of the bikes for you to illustrate from?

Awesome Idea... do you want pics of the bikes by themselves? I've got some pics with people on them. Like Erock on his... I don't have any solos though. shoot me an email if you're interested.

i would prefer riderless, but i might be able to juxtapos them! hopefully Sarahs plan goes into effect though!

im SO down! the next los angeleopes is feb 7th i think
we will totally talk at Cmob
what if we got a roll of butcher paper, and made a makeshift 'cove' wherever the start/finish was, so we could separate the bikes from the background? i think it would be easiest for you to illustrate the bikes if they were against a white backdrop, so no details could go unnoticed, and the background wouldnt distract/distort the bike form.
Very clean, very simple, very clear.
