Motor-Bicycle?




1902 Steffey motorbike, like all early motorcycles, it is literally a motorized bicycle, what we might call today a moped. 250cc 2 stroke single-speed motor and pedals for human power. I came across this one at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama, which is well worth a visit if you have any love for things that go vroom.

I love the look of these early motorcycles, they seem almost steampunk, but cooler because all those brass fittings and glass bulbs are there for a reason.

Careful out there

























Watch out for deer. They have no love for motorcycles. Cars too, but mostly motorcycles.

Sketchy thing.

Cultivate


Ah springtime! The season of planting. Of cultivation.

I wanted to do something a little more, conventional shall we say? Plants or something like that. But this image appeared to me and I could not get it out of my mind. Oh well, conventional is boring anyway.

Loosely. Very loosely.

Organizational skills





They keep telling me I need to get organized, but I just don't think it's working for me.

Stampunk



Stampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, Stampunk involves an era or world where John Stamos is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of Stampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history, and John Stamos.

Surrender


This weeks illofriday gets the crossover treatment with another project I'm working on. The topic just seemed like a natural fit.

Minimal Henderson



Quick sketch of a Great War era Henderson motorcycle. Trying to keep it loose and kind of feel the shape.

Kills in Space Repeatedly

The Vacaloca is a former commercial hauler turned raider. It is massive and slow, but size can have it's advantages too. Vacaloca can take a lot of abuse, a lot of munitions, and a lot of spoils.

Double Take


I saw these two shadowy figures playing gargoyle out of the corner of my eye, but when I turned to look there were only satellite dishes.
