👆👍👉 @airoilandlead - "My submission for the @michaellichterphotography “What’s the Skinny” art/motorcycle show. I wanted my piece/helmet to be an homage of sorts, one to Arlen Ness @arlennessmotorcycles and the other, similarly, to represent the soul of what it is to be passionate about what you do. In this case, bike building, customizing, creating, dreaming etc. I wanted to paint a picture of that -the process and the tenacity it takes to to go after it- here and in life. It’s gritty, mostly dirty, lonely and usually the opposite of the end result of loud, flaked, saturated and sleek. I used a photo taken by Julia LaPalme to serve as reference for the portrait which I thought captures that pensive look of the King of Custom himself and the feeling I was after- the portrait is all freehanded with an airbrush using @houseofkolor_ and @createxcolors paint colors. on a Custom 500 Bell Helmet. @bell_powersports Thanks again to @michaellichterphotography for having me, very moved and humbled to be included in this years line-up at the @sturgisbuffalochip in about a week...
