The “How to Build a Motorcycle” book I illustrated for @laurencekingpub Is out now!! Expertly written by Gary Inman of @sideburnmag there are great insights in there for those new to bikes and veteran builders alike I reckon. I drew over 270 illustrations for the book which was then designed and arranged by @alexandre.coco.design. There’s also a 32 page glossy photo section with some killer bikes. It looks damn fine and I’m stoked on it. You can order from the LK website http://www.smarturl.it/buildamotorcyclebook and if you use this discount code - ADI35 - you'll get 35% off the book. Also available from Waterstones, Foyles or Amazon. Links to those from that url above. (Link to LKP in my profile too). Thanks to the team at @laurencekingpub for everything. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed drawing all those pictures. I’d love to illustrate another fine book soon (hint), it was fun. 👍 - Adi #illustration #bookillustration #books #printaintdead #laurenceking #howtobuildamotorcycle #diy #shedlife #motorcycle #Sideburnmagazine #99secondsstudio #drawing #ink #publishing #booksofinstagram #illustrator #illustratedbook #hardcover #bookstagram #bookcover #lovebooks #bookcoverart #hardback #nonfiction #choppers #caferacers #streettrackers #racebikes #mechanic #garageculture https://www.instagram.com/p/CGRw2tPhthb/?igshid=1aswrh32pwsoz

I'm writing and editing my interactive novel again, thanks to a talented friend who suggested we critique each other's work. Currently writing Chapter 4 and over 9k words total! To become more immersed in my protagonist's world and because it's fun, I decided to do some #guerillaart as Regina Cordova and leave her first one. “A simple, sincere     gesture–whether it’s a     sweet compliment, a     kind smile, or a clothing     donation–can make     someone’s day or even     sustain a dream of a lifetime. I am living proof.                   Thank you, Sandra             ❤️ R.C.” It's on a metal clothing donation box. I left it and when I later came back, it was gone. I wonder if someone liked it enough to keep it. I wanna compose and leave behind in public every message within each chapter. The first five will be done on throwaway items like the black cardboard from tights I used above. Also in the story, she has a composition #notebook that has sticker #skulls and #flowers on the front cover which she uses as a journal. I wanted to make it using the free stickers my family gets in the mail, dollar store #stickers, and the skull stickers book by @laurencekingpub which I bought at a discount at Macy's stickerbombing is really neat! I tagged all the artists that I could find on instagram. Check their art out! In the notebook I hope to write her thoughts down, draft the story, and brainstorm any guerilla art. By the time I'm done with drafting the novel, hopefully the notebook will be completely full! I'm really glad I'm turning back to this world again. Though I'm not sure if I ever left since I think about it often. Since I'll be traveling to NYC and jersey city a bunch, I hope i'll create more public art. I get excited just thinking about it haha. #stickerbomb #laurenceking #wip #excerpt #allpinayeverything
