Visiting Aerodinamica has shown me a lot of good stuff!
I’m still in love with the Cinelli x Barry McGee frame from several years ago, and now they teamed up to make this lovely Unicator seat.
More info on Aerodinamica.

Normally I don’t like aerodynamic handlebars, but a Mike Giant graphic can do miracles!
Cinelli teamed up with the master again, and the RAM2 handlebars are the result. They might look cool on my street racer…
You can read and see more on Aerodinamica, where I found this.

Found on Highsnobiety.

It’s a while you heard from me but this makes me smile, messenger poetry by Kurt Boone (and buy it)!
Check a preview here with illustrations of Greg Ugalde.

Thanks to Carlos!

Lenneke found this poster for me at OMG Posters!:

The Rushmore print Todd Slater did for the recent Crazy 4 Cult show at Gallery 1988 is now up for sale.  “They can buy anything, but they can’t buy backbone” is a 19.4″ x 22.75″ screenprint, has an edition of 150, and is $40.  Visit ToddSlater.net.

I like it. only a shame it already sold out…

Not everything in life has got to be bike related, so here’s another art post!

While I was at the ArtEZ Fine Arts graduation show, I was amazed by this painting from Surya de Wit. It’s almost bigger than life size, and the combination of realistic painting with the 3 dimensional fabrics works really well! It’s a shame you can’t see it in real life anymore, ’cause pics don’t do her work any justice.

This is a production which was created during my editorial design course in Arnhem.
The assignment was the creation of a biography.
Wouter Van den Bosch, who is graduating this year in Fine Art with his brute monsterbike, was my victim.
I followed him several days to give an appropriate picture of what he is busy with and what his weird mechanical constructions are all about. Enjoy Watching.

Yesterday I went to see the graduation show of the Fine Arts departement of ArtEZ, you might have seen the Monsterbike, made by Wouter van den Bosch on several other blogs, but I can tell you, in real life, the thing is HUGE! And the technical detailing is amazing. I like!

Just watch it, the project is really cool, and the creator’s commentary is even cooler.

Kids, Art is Cool!
