It was a lovely Saturday afternoon in northern Vermont, so our scooter club (those few who came out, anyway) decided to take a nice ride out to find one of the nearby decommissioned Atlas F missile bases. Back in the early 1960’s our local region was home to twelve Atlas F nuclear missiles, in twelve [...]

As an artist I can understand the passion that can consume people when it comes to immortalizing your artistic vision onto your flesh for all eternity. However, there are a whole LOT of people to need to douse that passion at all costs! Anybody with a couple hundred dollars can buy a tattoo, and it [...]

Flat Tire – Watercolor pencils on Bristol (11 x 14)
Again, tried to make the color somewhat more subtle in this image, rather than letting it take over the whole image. The scan conveys the nuances of this particular illustration pretty well, though the rust spots on the rim are much more impressive on the [...]

2009 Yamaha Grand Majesty, rides nice and smooth. Sold my chromey Suzuki cruiser, I’m now officially 100% scooterist.

Tokyo Scoot: Custom Ruckus
11×14 – Watercolor Pencils on Bristol Plate
My latest pencil illustration, this time the focus is a modified Honda Ruckus. I spent a good deal of care on illustrating the chrome in order to best display this bike’s assets. As usual, these pics all look better live and in-person than they do in [...]
