Some of you newer guys may not remember this, but in the earlier days of JJ, we had a Friday Art thread. Only on Fridays it was permissible to post up motorcycle-related art.

I miss that thread.

So, here's my contribution, though my talents are likely outweighed by most other people here. I go to a bar sometimes with my wife that's real fancy, and they use plain brown placemats. I mentioned that it was a waste of real estate one day, and the bartender produced a box of Crayolas from under the bar. (I am partial to their products as I live near the factory.) Since I'm kind of spastic but I tip well, they are happy to let me sit there and color and get smashed.



Yes, I am aware I drew split automotive-style con-rods and they are not knife-and fork. I started drawing without a goal in mind and I was wrecked.

Whatcha got?

this is a quick proof of concept drawing for an ultralight water vehicle I'm working on, it uses a honda z50 motor and is designed to be towed behind a 50cc 2 stroke street bike I have

Great engines those honda’s , had a lot of them and still have a few eversince
nice tats!!

Here is another proof of concept I'm trying to bring into reality, im going to start welding up a frame soon, should be fun when its running, it uses a moped motor with a clutch, hopefully it doesnt need a secondary clutch, id love to use the handlebar throttle to run the sewing machine

sorry about the reflection on this one, it's behind glass.
it's an air brushed copy of a pic most have seen before.
painter is a local named John Hildabrant, think that's how he spells his name.
three colors used, black, brown and white on a 2 X 3 foot canvas.

that would have been quite a pile of chips after you where done machining?
Hotsos, those semiabstract sportbike melanges are fucking great. Compelling. High tech wif a jungle beat.
Well shit, let's keep this going for next week.

I sure like the lettering there. The microvariations in line & weight make it, uh, lively or something: like the difference between a real good signpainter's work and a laser-cut decal. Have you got more show & tell, Dutch?
Not Friday yet, as far as I can determine, but this post does refer to artwork of a sort, and that sort is the header image that appears when I visit the JJ. I just wanna thank the mod or mods who finally prevailed on God (or whoever caused the site to be redesigned) to put up an image that suits the JJ, replacing the twee little brat-thing (a style I like but would never admit that) that a hepcat graphic designer selected.

Thank you, HD49! Thanks, anybody else who was involved! I don't want to know what you had to do to get the change made: that would make me an accessory after the fact, and I've been there plenty already.
