Transportation

Clas­sic Gulf rac­ing liv­ery has always been one of my favorites. And a bob­ber isn’t a bad thing. So here we have an H‑D bob­ber in a very nice ren­di­tion of the Gulf liv­ery. Yeah, I’ll give that one shop space.

Art, Images, and Design

Bright, bold, and um, gooey? Matt Mignanel­li. Way bet­ter than any of the “psy­che­del­ic” album cov­ers of our youth.

Thieves. More bikes and rid­ers done by the excel­lent French graph­ic artists at Silence TV. Clean lines, telling tonal val­ues, and miss­ing pieces.

Flat faced, elon­gat­ed crea­tures with scaly exte­ri­ors draw in black and white, Phlegm does a cou­ple of walls in Sheffield.

Hap­py mak­ing stor­age sys­tem. Bird hous­es on a pole for your kids room, erm, front hall.
