Ride or Die

Hope Project — Wed, 30 May 2012 12:09:11 +0000

There are few things that really resonate with me as an artist. For me my personal work is about spreading positive messages and where possible I like to use found objects as my canvas. This is a metaphor for the lost, the broken and the idea that it’s never too late to make changes in our lives. That’s why I like Starling & Hero so much! They take old bicycles and rebuild them which they call Upcycles! Have a look at their site and order a bike. They can build almost anything in any style and at a reasonable price. Check them out here.

I been riding this for the last month or so and it goes like a dream.

Specifications: 1985 Fuji Frame, San Marco saddle and reversable handle bars.

I recently did these two projects that ended up being in black and white which I really enjoyed doing.
