More about the book
This illustrated book highlights over fifty top international motorcycle artists, studios, custom bike-builders, and bike shops, offering the first comprehensive survey of custom bike-painting globally. It captures the creativity and originality that define this genre, finally giving motorcycle artists the recognition they deserve. The featured artists share a common goal: each painting is original and unique, reflecting the personality of the rider-customer. Painting on saddlebags, tanks, and fenders presents exciting challenges, and the book showcases how motorcycle painters are adeptly meeting these demands. While some artists have formal training, most are self-taught, honing their skills through hands-on experience rather than traditional studio practices. They are deeply immersed in the vibrant culture of bike building and riding, which they passionately embrace. The book includes photographs of completed bikes, close-ups of the artworks, and detailed technical specifications of customized components. Additionally, it provides full contact information for each artist, making it an essential resource for motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.
