Not sure, but I reckon this is just the right amount. Saw out last year and saw in this by painting quite a few 12 by 12 in canvases. I think they call this a “photo dump”. Could be wrong – it’s happened before.

Let’s face it – taking decent photos of your work is overrated… Heh heh heh. Not really – and this was a reminder of my new resolve to take better photos in future. Or even better – take each piece to a professional to take even better shots. That’s the plan.
Skateboard decks are fun to paint. I like to paint both sides, because it feels a bit like cheating otherwise. Or something. With these I went for a Ukiyo-E type geisha character to the”graphic” side and went a bit wild with spraypaint and a halftone stencil (and a Mr Sparkle) on the top side. More colour for your dollar!
Graphic side – geisha and Powergirl!
Would look interesting with clear griptape! Although I probably wouldn’t recommend riding one of these…
Bike time is the right time.

After painting the 88′ Cyclecraft I decided that I wouldn’t paint another small diameter tubing 1980s BMX frame given what a mission it can be. Let alone forks. So when a friend asked if I would like to paint his early 80s Hattori Pro Sight frame of course I said yes.
Not sure what brand the handlebars were, but they’re “Ut Tentacles” now.
Sure, it all looks great on our very old deck that needs a stain, but how about on a wall surrounded by some killer artwork?
I have a few more bikes lined up to paint this year – all have a lot more paintable surface!
