SAVE THE ENDANGERED WILD BIKER!!!


give bar

It takes more than just one person or one agency to make a difference.
It takes a community that wants to make sure that the survival of the American wild biker lives on.

So many of our American bikers go through a transition during family life where they sell their bike to get cash for a gas guzzling behemoth, (which they no longer can afford to drive... thank you OPEC), to cart everyone around in. While this is admirable and a selfless act that is praiseworthy, every damn fool that does it jones's for a new bike within 5 years or less. This is a sad plight and needs correcting. Too many bikers are left wandering the isles of the local HD shop drooling on a machine they currently lack the funds to afford and even worse think of the constant belly aching their wives have to put up with.

Why save the American wild biker?
We and many like us are dedicated to creating opportunities that change the region for the better by tackling long-term biker problems like over priced booze, shotty chinese printed t-shirts that say "if you can read this than the bitch fell off" and drivers who no longer fear or respect a line of bellowing hogs 2 miles deep. We must make a change.

America is just not America with out a 400 pound un-showered man in leather on a 1200 pound trike with flags streaming off the back and we know you feel the same. If we don't act know to save these younglings with their choppered-out metal monsters they will never grow to be that 400 pound biker of the future. Please do your part.

You may ask what can I do?
This has an easy answer...
You can hand over some of your hard earned dough to just one displaced biker, (a.k.a. Joshua Janes), that is in need of one slick ride. If everyone sent just one dollar Mr. Janes, he could have his wheels back on the road tomorrow! Along with a nice summer home in Caribbean and he would most likely not work a day in his life again... but 19,000 people sending a dollar each would suffice. Hell, make it 25,000... I really want to put some long shots on it and some nice chrome accessories. Ooh and side mounting license plate and red lighting effect on the tires & engine. Hell yeah.

Save the Biker is dedicated to building stronger neighborhoods that bikers can over take with poker runs, drinking, oil wrestling and more. Remember you’re an integral part of that process. This is your America – it’s up to you to help make the change.

Legal: This is not a real fund of any kind and is just a sad attempt for me to get a motorcycle again because I am currently strapped. Even though this is just for fun, I will be happy to receive any money sent to me to put toward a new Harley Davidson Rocker, and I guarantee that in return for the money you send you will receive nothing but my gratitude and the image in your head of my huge grin as cruise down the street on a 240 mm dunlop.

Harley Davidson logo is a trademark and copyright of Harley Davidson. Harley Davidson in no way promotes or supports Joshua Janes or his pitiful attempt at getting a HD Rocker. Although I would appreciate it if they sent me a free one out of the kindness of their hearts. The bastardized version of the Obama logo is a trademark and copyright of Obama... although the chopper is a nice touch and he may want to think about adding it.

Thank you America...

SKYSTREAM ILLUSTRATION

I did this illustration for Southwest Windpower for their July electronic newsletter that they send out to their dealers and customers. They wanted a fun illustration that was a spin off of the old US military war posters used to get people to enlist.

It was a great project to work on and gave me a chance to try some new techniques. It was painted in photoshop and I decided to go with more of an acrylic look than the original posters watercolor. Mainly because I'm more comfortable with that style and I wanted this to be a little bolder than the original image.



Hope everyone who saw the newsletter enjoyed the image and special thanks to Michael at Southwest for hooking me up with this project.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Tattoo for your Harley

Hey just wanted to share this image I did the other day for a client who wanted his tattoo re-illustrated so it could be made into a vinyl decal for the tank on his Harley.  It was a fun job and I can't wait to see the finished product when TnT Graphics makes it up.

BUCKABILLY SLUICE BOX



This image was done for B & S Fab - Buckabilly Sluice Box for use on t-shirts, business cards, and the web.

Now I honestly wasn't sure what a sluice box was when I took this job, but the illustration that Bill & Shelley were looking for was right up my alley. After visiting their site http://www.buckabillysluice.com/ I found out that a sluice box is a tool that prospectors used and not a musical instrument like I was picturing when I first spoke to Shelley...ha.
This was a really fun project and Shelley and Bill were great to work with. It was sketched and built completely in illustrator cs3, based off of the idea sent by Shelley.

 I also wanted to say thanks again to Tina - TnT Graphics and Kelly - Kelly Graphics for passing my name along.

Big Gimmick Mascot: Dragon Version

  Hey just thought I'd share an image I did a while back when my friend Kevin Myers and I were thinking of throwing a site together called the Big Gimmick.com. This character became some what of a mascot of a contest we had put together. His name was Gary and his appearance changed from contest to contest. This image of Gary was for a dragon contest we were putting together.

At a whopping 398 pounds, Gary is a force to be reckoned with. He had spent his weekends working for Big Boned Advertising as a State Rt. 80 human billboard until he was fired when he was blown into traffic during high winds and caused an 18 car pile up. After this incident he was black balled and was forced to take a minimum wage job for the Gimmick Art Blog as their mascot. He never felt so low, but still manages to keep his winning smile.

I may start throwing Gary back up on my site from time to time to give him a hand. Jobs are hard to find these days and the guy needs his carbs...
