drawing before painting

Happy and sad to be starting the year off

working with the bike of an old friend.

This trike is awesome!
So sweet from every angle
the future awaits!

Psyched to have Austin's Bike in the studio!

Alvin Drysdale built lightweight bicycles in Manhattan,
working from the 1920s until the 1950s.
He made bikes with his own name, such as Drysdale Special,
and with other names including Alvin and Velox.

These started off as prints
line drawing monotypes
that didn't come out, 
for technical reasons.
So I  used the blocks of ink 
 as a base for little sketches 
to explore my idea further.
