two months ago, someone out there decided they should take the highway to the danger zone right into the danger zone.

in taking my most valued material possession and primary mode of transport from me [by cutting the bolts off the stop sign, hoisting it lock and all over top of the post and fleeing like a coward into the darkness. they did not win it fairly in a thunderdome match or a game of crossfire.] this stranger has incurred my wrath. oh and the wrath of a tiny sicilian/concentrated humanoid is boundless.

i have since ordered a new bike so that i may once again be mobile. and appropriately i have named it vengeance [the demon whip]. tempered from raw steel built beyond the 7 seas. with vengeance i shall ride to protect those who may fall victim to bike theft and to avenge those who have been wronged in such a manner. a trying charge indeed.

to aid me in this quest i had prepared this pendant to be mounted on it’s headtube.

HOWEVER recently it seems to have been vanquished to the nether-realms and i’m left without it’s aid! because everyone knows magical talisman are a primary source of such powers.

so to you i pose this offer:

if someone will purchase a replacement talisman/pendant currently available here [though please get in touch before taking me up on this]

i will return the favor by making for you an inked commission of your description!

if this is of interest to you please leave a comment or email me at smo [at] smomotion [dot] com and discussion shall be had!

certain monstrous beasts are so intense you can’t look at them directly, or you’ll disintegrate into a pile of cabbage eating maggots.

you can only confront them by approaching their reflection.

only the bravest most masterful of artisans attempt to capture their likeness and to do so they must draw the creatures backwards on parchment with only the aid of brush and ink.

i melted 3 different brushes while inking this, the demonic fires shooting up from the bike tires were too intense for my windsor newton series 7 but i pressed on.

to the right is a digitally remastered version of what we think the creature may have looked like were it drawn directly without the need for a mirror.

because they’re tough enough to handle it and they have access to shiny reflective things like mirrors they break because they laugh in the face of bad luck; i am sending this drawing to the silver sprocket bike club.

they love bikes and songs about demons that’s why they handle bands like the groovie ghoulies. that’s right they’re a bike club that deals in rock and roll! sick!

a few months ago they made me an honorary member of their crew, even though they’re stationed in califonia and i’m in brooklyn.

their spokes are true.
