Motorcycle Artist--Corpses From Hell

source: bikeexif

What is cooler than a biker? How about a biker that draws bikers. And draws on bike stuff? And rebuilds his own vintage bike?

Maxwell Paternoster, also known by his alter-ego Corpses From Hell is a European artist that specializes in off-the-wall motorcycle art. As part of an ongoing art (and personal) project, he has spent several years building a custom BSA bike from scrap.

It is always cool when someone builds a bike from basically nothing. But what is even more awesome? THis guy pretty much built the bike in the back of his car. He started with a B33 engine and a frame, and ended up with an edgy masterpiece that is just as hard and gritty as his other artworks.

Visit Paternoster's site for more about this bike and other projects, as well as samples of his artwork. Warning: there are shocking photos of naked motorcycles!

Sharpie Art Motorcycles

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.
