Precious Bike

I've finished the magazine illustration for an article about bikers. I've never drawn a bike like this before so I hope the die-hard bikers will forgive any flaws!

This makes me smile, Jessie, I drove a bike for over 10 years, when I was young(er:) and can relate to the feeling, this painting seems to express for me, LOL,

Oh, I loved the chamillions (can't spell it!!) too, but it wouldn't let me tell you - the pink one I really liked, that was my fave!

So pleased to see your comments are being accepted again. I've been having problems too. My blog is not updating on your blogroll, but please do pop in from time to time, as Ugly Rabbit is still there.
As for your illustrations, well done. I love them. Imagine being able to lift a bike!
All the best for now
