Sharpie Art by Jodi Whitsell |
There is custom paint...and there is CUSTOM motorcycle art. These amazing artists are taking plain old Sharpie markers and turning bikes, cars and other vehicles into masterpieces on wheels.
What is different about this graphic style of art over traditional motorcycle paint jobs? The variety of symbols that the artist can work into each section. If you can't decide whether you want skulls, dice, flames, hearts, or wings...why not go with something like this that combines all of it?
Look close and you will also see that artists are putting in their own signatures, favorite movie characters, song lyrics, personal mottoes and more.

These aren't all pros either. Some of these artists are teens and young adults working in their parent's garage. No matter how much experience you have, it takes guts to put a permanent pen to a bike and have no fear of making a fatal error.

And just for fun...look at what a Sharpie can do to a car. If you happen to have a pen laying around...and a Lamborghini...why not give it a shot?
