Just launched on Kickstarter, the I DRAW MOTOS Sketchbook is the essential Motorcycle Design guidebook for students, designers, builders, and motorsports enthusiasts. From IDRAW Creative Goods, I DRAW MOTOS is the 5th title in our series of sketchbooks designed to help people learn to draw the things they love.

Designed in collaboration with Dave Mucci of Moto-Mucci in Portland, Oregon, I DRAW MOTOS Sketchbook is part premium sketchbook, part intuitive textbook, and part handy reference guide. IDRAW MOTOS includes critical info like motorcycle anatomy, engine configurations, suspension types and basic bike physics to help inform your designs. The instructional section includes step-by-step tutorials, perspective lessons, wheel lessons and layout fundamentals, paired with 100+ templates to sketch over.

I DRAW MOTOS is a hard cover sketchbook, perfect bound and covered in a premium linen-textured cover with bright painted edges and elastic band. Bright white 100gsm paper carries ink well and won’t bleed.

HFM007 : Max Hazan | Hazan Motorworks | Motorcyle Builder

In episode 7 of the Hold Fast Motors podcast I get to chat with Max Hazan from Hazan Motorworks. I found Max while looking through Iron & Air, as well as a post on Motomucci. I’ve seen some pretty mighty motorcycle builds but this guy lays down some crazy skills to make art of metal, wood and rubber. We chat about some of his inspirations and the history of his motorcycle building career.

Here is the bike that was featured in Iron & Air Issue 9 that caught my attention. Its a 1996 Royal Enfield, or it was a 96 Royal Enfield now that it has been touched by Hazan it is its own beast in its own class. You can find more pictures of this bike and other on his website listed below in the show notes.

  In the interview we talk about the evolution of a bike build, as you all know I suck at drawing anything so every bike I have built has just came together or “evolved” as they go. He has a different approach I haven’t seen before. He does life size drawings as he builds. I found a picture of him doing this very act on his tumblr and will share it below. I hope everyone enjoys this interview as much as I did, I am also trying out something new by doing a shorter 30 minute show instead of the 60 minute or longer show. Let me know what you think.

PS This dude also built a Sea plane in his spare time!
