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

The latest Kinkora Golf Course sign.


The sign is for a very picturesque golf course in Chilliwack. It is the second sign they commissioned me to do this summer. I had a lot of fun with this one, adding layers and details. Thanks, Jordie!

Go British shirt.

For a couple of years my brothers and I tried our hand at silkscreening. My older brother drew the designs, and I took care of the printing, along with my younger brother. The good folks at Ink Plus set me up with stencils and screens etc. and I was able to print up three different designs, all under the Go British moniker. These were sold at various locales, but I still have a few left. This example is my favourite design, as it is an update of an earlier drawing my brother did some twenty years ago, which also made it on a limited run t-shirt back then. Time flies!

BSA dealer sign.


This is another sign I lettered and sold at the local vintage bike swap meet. I found this piece of weathered and rough wood on a motorbike trip to the north end of Vancouver Island. I couldn't pass up the chance to put a vintage logo on it, and so I went with the BSA logo.

Bultaco sign.

This is a Bultaco sign that I lettered and sold to an enthusiast of the defunct Spanish marque at the local vintage motorcycle swap meet. One of my earliest motorcycle memories was of me sitting on my dad's Bultaco 350(?) and him doubling me around the dirt roads and trails near our house in the mid 1970's.

Local greasy bike and car show.










A nice variety of bikes and cars at Disaster Daze once again this year. That sure was a nice Ford Falcon (drool, drool).

Cool beezers!





These were some of the cool BSA motorcycles I saw at a local BSA bike night last summer. Very nice bikes!

This sign was done on hand-cut sheet aluminum, painted with a combination of Auto-Air airbrush colours and One-Shot lettering enamel, as well as clearcoat.
