With the excitement surrounding the 70th anniversary, David is capping the number of available prints this year.  He’s also including a special paper version (also signed and numbered) which will be only be available unframed.

In 1936, Clarence “Pappy” Hoel started an Indian dealership in Sturgis and formed the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club.  Two years later, the City of Sturgis joined forces with the Jackpine Gypsies to hold the first “rally” (known as the Black Hills Classic) which was highlighted by the championship half-mile race.  David’s subject in “70 & Counting”, a member of a motorcycle club at the time, is on her way to the inaugural festivities when she stops near Devil’s Tower to get her bearings.  We can only imagine that her new cowboy friend wishes she would stay longer!

We are taking orders now and will begin production as orders are received.  If you are collecting the entire Sturgis commemorative  series, you will continue to receive first right of refusal on your matching edition number.  Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.  Edition specifics (shipping is included within the contiguous U.S.):

“Regular Canvas”, image size 28″ x 21″, edition of 70 plus 7 APs and 7 HCs,  $895 framed

“Oversize Canvas”, image size 40″ x 30″, edition of 12 plus 2 APs, $2,250 framed

“Deluxe Paper”, image size 18″ x 13.5″, edition of 70, $195 unframed (only available unframed)

Greg

Funny thing, I was just thinking about Christina Shook (and no, not because she is so easy on the eyes).  She is a biker and photographer who has a new book out that I am hoping to get a copy of for review here in the blog.  And she happens to be on a little NW Tour.  Cool thing is that she is doing it with her daughters.  As an artist myself, I have taken my girls to rallies and events all over the country while I set up my exhibitions and such and it can be both a challenge and a joy.  I hope she is having a wonderful time.

Christina has just released a few of the dates and locations and I know she would love to meet all of you.  So if you are in the area, head out and see her slideshow, listen to her stories, and enjoy the evening.

Love, Respect, and Biker Chicks,

I have been privileged enough to meet Dan a couple times… the first time was in Houston at my friend Nate Beaver’s tattoo studio where he was doing a guest spot.  He was kind enough to take part in my exhibition, Artists of Permanence, which highlighted some of the best tattoo fine artists in the industry.  Anyway, I wish I could be at the show tonight, but I am not in the city.  If you are there, please go and represent.  It should be fantastic.

Love, Respect, and Remember,

ArtBiker


Dan Henk has put together what has proved to be one of the most impressive compilations of art for one cause we’ve seen in a long while. The art show “commemorates the life and times of Monica Henk, a talented artist, sometimes model, and musician, who was tragically cut down in her prime by a hit and run driver. The show will be covered for the tattoo press, and the final results collected in a book. All are more than welcome to come.” The opening is May 30 at 7 pm at Sacred Tattoo Gallery in NYC. Click here for directions.

Obviously the real deal is going to be the most impressive, but if you’re not on the east coast, or you can’t make it out, check out Dan’s facebook album for the pieces that have been submitted as of yet. Contributing artists include Nick Baxter, Sean Barber, Dank Henk, Damon Conklin, Matt Lukish and many more amazing and talented artists.

For those of you who don’t know, Monica died on April 12, 2007 from resulting injuries and complications from a hit and run accident on April 7, 2007 and her killer was never found. For details on how to help, or provide any known information please visit her memorial myspace page
