Hand Drawn Pinarello
*I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this but didn't know where to put it*
I've always had a real love for late 90's early 00's road bikes. My dream bike was/is the Pinarello Galileo from 2003. I've had this bike for over 10 years, I love it.
But on a high speed descent on a closed corner I crashed quite badly at over 65 kph and totaled the bike.
Me and the frame survived. So to turn a negative into a positive I decided to draw on it.
This is the result. I hope you enjoy looking at it
For more info & pics see https://firewaterboy.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/firewaterboy_art/
Enjoy!

OK, that wasn't what I expected--WOW!!!!!!
That's museum quality art. I've never enjoyed looking at photos of a bike more.
Does this actually get ridden or is it a display piece?
What's a "professional doodler"? Do you do this to other practical objects?
Did I mention "brilliant"?

WOW!!! Cables too!!! Fantastic.. How??? That's it... It's what my bike is missing... Something personal and perfect for a Franken Bike!!!
Now ya got me thinking about simple art work on my seat tube. Something like SERGIO ARAGONES marginal art work from Mad magazine. Maybe some I Spy characters dropping a bomb on my Frankenised French bottom bracket...
Thanks for the Thread...

I think you've found what your side-line should be if you can do similar art multiple times over and over on frames for other persons.

This bike does get ridden, it's my current bike and I have ridden over 11 000 km's on it this year.
Professional doodler because I've been doing it all my life. I haven't and I'm not planning to do this on other objects.. Not for now anyway.

Had lots of problems with smudging at the start so had to clean/redo a lot of stuff which ate up a lot of time and energy.
I use a permanent marker with a double tip. I used (several of) the same marker for the whole bike and then put a thick lacquer to protect it.

I have to say it (at the risk of being crass)--if your day job isn't art, quit your day job!

Maybe I'm naive, but I'm thinking you have an incredible potential for genre-busting here.
