Art and cycling mix

Bespoke: Creative Show 2010 was the place to be to enjoy arts on walls and bikes. The show exhibits a selection of  Fixed Gear Bike Frames adorned with graphics by 10 of the world’s leading and up-and-coming creative designers in the industry (John McFaul, Peter Lin, Vault 49, Ademas Batista, Ollie Munden, Ben Thomas, Jasper Wong, Ben Qwek, Aaron De La Cruz, Ria Dastidar, Danielle Hunt and Yvonne Tang).
This is a great opportunity for designers to showcase their talent and innovative work on different formats and to experiment with a broad range of mediums and concepts.
And for bike and art lovers, the dream finally comes true : you can buy one of the Steels Art Collection bike frames at reasonable price of £500 ($800) at Luma Bespoke online shop.

Art+bike=Artcrank

“Bikes are the world’s most fun, accessible way to get around. Posters are the world’s most fun, accessible art form. ARTCRANK™ brings them together.”

What a better way to spend a night sipping a drink, chatting, looking at art (even better : bike art) and thinking I can afford it! ARTCRANK shows are a wonderful opportunity to support local artists, expose people to art and galvanize them into cycling at the same time. Please come to Philly!

How to Fixed gear

Internet already proved itself to be an extensive stage for unknown artists to show their talents and luckily catch the eye of the media. This time we’re not talking about random singers who rehearsed hours in front of the mirror before going public on YouTube, but an illustrator named David Gibbons, member on Flickr, who got commissioned by Wired magazine to illustrate the ‘how to’ article about fixed gear. Among all the techniques to master as a good rider (wheelie, skid, dismount), David went for a manga style ‘atomic squid’… well done!

The invisible man

Really cool art for a great cause. “Making the invisible visible” from Brothers & Sisters agency and the Berlin-based street art collective Mentalgassi is a poster installation hidden in the streets of London in support of Amnesty International.

The poster is mounted on fence railings so that you can’t view it at first glance. You actually need to look at the poster from a certain angle in order to see it. The poster illustrates the face of Troy Davis, a man described as having “been on death row for 19 years in the USA, despite serious doubts about his conviction.”
