Hand-lettered signs, helmets, parts, motorcycles, and all sorts of things I'm interested in.

Triumph Sign.

Here's one I did awhile back.  It was based on a Roth image.

MV Agusta!



The undertail exhaust on this bike is the best.

One of the best logos made for a motorcycle.

Custom Painted Tanks

I saw these bike tanks at a show.  I don't know who painted them, but they sure are nice.

Custom SV650.

This one is from svrider.com, a site recommended for anyone who has a Suzuki SV 650.  Beautiful bike; I'd like to get mine to look like that!

Racing the Yamaha Yl-1


Again, courtesy of classicyams.com.  Check out their website.  I never knew they raced the YL-1.  Pushing mine up to 70 km was scary enough!

Another Old 60's Wagon.

Station wagons from the 1960's are some of my favourite four-wheelers.  Cars like this mid-60's Chevy Bel-Air wagon remind me of summer trips as a youngster.

Pair of Coca-Cola Vendo 44 Machines


I lettered these two Coca-Cola Vendo 44 pop machines some time ago. They turned out quite well and were always fun to do.  I did them on site at a local antique store and I was always amazed at how many people would stop to watch the progress.  I love the neon Dunlop Tire sign; too bad I didn't have the bank account required to buy it.

Making Signs the Old-Fashioned Way





New Suzuki TU 250


I saw this great little bike at the Vancouver Motorcyle Show.  It would be cool if they made this as an 850.

Cool Custom at the Bike Show



Cool bike.  The tank was copper? brass?

British Motorcycle Owners Club Display 2011









This was the BMOC display at the Vancouver International Motorrcycle Show this year.  I am a member of the club, and it was my job this year to paint the sign used in the recreation of the 1960's era Ace Cafe.  The theme of the display was the cafe racer, and many execellent bikes were included in the display.  These were all BMOC member bikes, with the exception of the 2011 Norton. I was quite happy with the way the sign turned out, as well as the airbrushed brickwork.
