bikes

Birds bikes and bells. It started as a quick bike doodle and then I got carried away. I kinda like getting carried away. I seldom know where it will end up.

From my series Bikes of Amsterdam. Normally it's cyclists I have spotted around town but this is a little day dreaming. Who knows what's lurking in all the canals.

Easy Rider is an early painting from the series but still a favourite.

A lot of Dutch families who live in the centre have a bakfiets or cargo bike to transport everyone around. This is an old one that relies on peddle power but thank god for electric motors now. From my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

Love the design of this A-Frame foldable bike.

The Dutch are experts at riding one handed while holding an umbrella or snack in the other hand. Although a good set of rain pants is much safer. From my Bikes of Amsterdam series.

easy way to walk the dog and both get a bit of exercise.

You don't see many bikes like this. Not sure I would feel safe or even seen but I like the idea of the reclining position.

some Star Wars fan art crossover with my Bikes of Amsterdam.

Ridley Scott’s wisdom guiding me nicely this morning…

some Fat Wheel bikes for todays doodle share. from my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

some people are so into their brands and have to have everything matching.

Cool name for a cool bike.

Today the 26th April is Alien Day so happy Alien Day everyone. In space no one can hear you scream but if this was behind me on the bike path you would definitely hear me.

I spotted this Frankensteined bike out side a house in Haarlem (small town outside of Amsterdam) and have no idea how you would ride something like this safely but it was gone the next day so imagine someone did. Think you would have to be high in more ways than one to ride this bike. from. my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

Paying homage to the show that inspired and helped shape my artistic development as a child. The Muppets were ahead of their time.

Some of these vintage cargo bikes are so gorgeous just like the people using them.

From my Bikes of Amsterdam series. There is a guy who rides around Amsterdam with a huge cello case on his back and looks a little like this.

Snack Attack is what happens when you don't pay attention to attacks from above while riding hands free on your bike and eating your triple fried fries and ketchup. I actually saw this happen. From my series Bikes of Amsterdam.

More dogs and bikes.

Love seeing all the ways the Dutch transport their four legged friends around town and this cargo bike is one of my favourites.

always funny to see big guys with small bikes.

Fit for a King! I should have posted this yesterday as the 27th April was King's Day in Holland and a huge celebration day for the Dutch. The King and Queen visit a different city each year, but not by bike I'm sure.

If you live in Amsterdam you will have probably spotted this old man cycling around town in nothing but a pair of speedos, spring, summer AND winter.

This new Bikes of Amsterdam painting is of this wooden bike I saw (no pun intended) a while back. I thought it was probably owned by a lumberjack although it’s more likely some city hipster type. Either way cool bike. Guess you would need to varnish it every year.

My new painting captures the chaotic yet heartwarming scene of a determined father I spotted cycling through the morning rush. He's juggling a lot—quite literally—with a baby strapped to his chest and a little girl perched in the bike's front basket.

Bork, bork, bork! The Swedish Chef is taking “fast food” to a whole new level—now with 100% more chicken anxiety. Camilla did not sign up for this Tour de Flap, but here we are. Will they reach the kitchen safely, or will this turn into an unscheduled poultry emergency? Stay tuned. Latest from my Bikes of Amsterdam series
