It’s been a bit of an upheavalish time of late hasn’t it? I have new work to show, but have just discovered that I really need to take some better photos of them, so that’ll be later in the week. This tube looking thing is indeed a tube – the downtube of a late 80’s Cyclecraft 24in BMX frame that I’m (slowly) painting for a good friend from my late 80’s BMX days. I’m not airbrush equipped, so I’m treating it as an annoyingly small-tubed canvas and doing it all with a brush. This is the test section (the downtube sticker will cover it) to see how the paint would work. Quite well, it seems! The rest of it will be a bit more in keeping with my other work, in between paying work. Because $ has been a bit upheavaled too! Appreciate anyone who is taking the time to check this out and hope you are well. Stay safe!

Started off as an experiment with masking tape. Discovered that I didn’t really like using masking tape. Added Bullet Bill as the stripes didn’t seem right by themselves.
