I rarely refer to myself as an “artist”. I’m a commercial designer. Artists do what they do for fun in their spare time. Me… I’d prefer working on bikes, my bronco, going for a ride, geeking out on sci-fi, etc.
But now I can say I AM art!
Cay Brøndum IS an artist, from Denmark, that also has a passion for two wheeled death machines. After a few emails back and forth, I discovered he’d found a shot of me in a magazine that was taken while riding through Long Beach. I guess the idea of riding on a warm Southern California day, in the middle of winter inspired the painting. Regardless, the painting is insanely cool, and I wish I could afford to buy it from him.
I wonder if Evel would have stuck his landing at Caesar’s if he’d had all this new tech… It sort of goes to show that his wreck was an inevitable outcome after watching the second video of this failed attempt to flip a bone stock XR1200 – that already has “good” suspension. This first video though, is epic. A perfectly stuck landing.
