King Of Hell

If you do a search for "track bike" you should get decent results. Alot of the time the size isn't posted in the title on places lik ebay.

Yeah. The one with just one word up thee..browninsh with the light blueish green word..I like that one. The rest of it looks like some wierd cross between Chris Silva and Rick Barnes who's been doing that shit for like the past four years. I dont know man...I can't reall handle it anymore. I rcognize there is talent in this dudes work, and he is good at what he does, it just seems way too contrived, whereas M. Killgalen 's stuff just reeked of ould soul. I love that shit because I love looking at old wall dog and sign painter shit. Oh well. I will just resign to always being the asshole who doesn't get current work. Write me off as crotchety.

Yeah, thats total horseshit. A computer mouse isn't dangerous because the way you use it gives you carpal tunnel syndrome, just change you're position, or the size of it and things will improve. Yeah, I know a ton of people who fuck their knees up too, and it's for stupid reasoning. Ride fast then try to lock up..Yeah of course that will wear on your knees. So how about some bike grace?..skip instead of skid, turn into your skip to re-position yourself so you don't need to always be locking up so hard... People ride bikes so stupidly for no reason(and dude, I was a messenger so I realise sometimes you gotta go fast, but come on) that they fuck themselves up. Solution? Ride smarter. Its not the bikes fault.

No dude, thats totally in a different field. I like that graffiti. I mean design. On paper, or computer screen...in a gallery. Graffiti is still at heart graffiti. So it has something going for it to make that style charming. Granted, you're right it does depend on whos doing it. But what I was talking about is everytime i flip through some magazine I see all this "purposefully naive pseudo primitave" art out there. All influenced by graff, and all trying to be the super hip un impressed graphic of the month. I hate Neck Face's work.

You shouldn't have too hard of a time finding bikes that size unless you are shopping for keirin frames specifically. Check ebay, they always seem to have a few large sized bikes on auction. As far as your girl goes, everyone thinks fixed gears are dangerous until they get used to it. Sollution? Get her one. Go single speed/ficxed flip flop hub style and then talk her into going on a lazy slow ride with the fixed side...she'll love it.

fixed gears arent new inventions. the first bikes ever built were essentaly fixed gear. they arent made for messengers, or to look cool on, they are made for velodrome racing. i dont think freewheel was even invented until the 40s?

you think im joking

first australia, now canada, whats next?

they used to do the tour fixed on dirt roads.

I did it because I was consatantly locking and unlocking it and leaning it up against shit. Saves the paint job, can help prevent some minor dings and whatnot.

you're weird.;)

People are fucking weird.

That cut paper shit should be a sticky on its own.

Thin meaning...I guess when I look at shit like that now I feel most of it is real thin meaning there isnt much flavor anymore. It's all the tricks that are the established expectations of that style of art. I don't see much real flavor in it. Reminds me of Kool Aid when its got too much water and not enough powder. Too thin.

The guys at fullspectrum are very good people and they ere good to us (transcend). The kind of art up there...and the fact that everyone does it...it just feel so "All fashion and no passion" to me. Its real thin.

As much as the magazine is cool, I'm so over that style of art/design. I can't even handle the purposefully naive art stuff, and the uber layers of half well done letters/half badly done letters. The purposefully akward faces and all that stuff. Its so saturated and I can't even look at it anymore. Does anyone else feel at all the same way about that stuff? I mean, its well done for that style obviously, and dude knows his shit, but I'm ready for something else.

I would have enjoyed it more had you not put the piece in the middle of the canvass. it detracts from the simplicity of the face, which s decent.

WOOOOHOOOOthe babbke is alive thanks to AL, and Lili.

I'm a sucker for the KotOR games, both 1 and 2. Iam waiting with baited breath for the third.

Yeah, dog. You and I need to come in here more often to crack the whippy. These motherfuckers are getting lazy, and comfortable again.

Nice! It looks very, D&D hobby store at the mall. I love it.

Goddamnit. I hate this thread now. JUSTONE, I agree. Someone needs to be in here cracking whips again. Maybe I can talk Seeks back into it, but I doubt it. There seems to be a whole lot of congadulatory back slapping over the most bullshit work. Lando is an exception. Nice work, man. Haven't you guys learned anything yet? Paint splatters, overspray, layered drips...it's all bullshit without anything to it. Half the shit in here looks like you just did what you do in a black book on a canvas, but with paint pens. Whats the point in that? Don't any of you push yourself? Someone asked a few pages back about opaque lines. Try a brush and mixing different kinds of inks and paints. Really, if you aren't going to do anything but simples with drips and shit, just stop and go doodle in your books. Doesn't anyone use a damn brush? or anything besides paint pens. Fuck I'd be psyched on some charcoal drawings. Something. You guys are better than this, and you should know better.
