hmm. Neato. I like how on the tail it looks like the sharpie was running out of ink. Lol. It's neat how the logos are sort of integrated into the paint but still not exactly my thing. Nice work though.

It's funny you say that, lol, I thought about the same thing. I know my brother and a couple of our cousins and friends used to do graffiti, and have "tagged" my brothers garage. I thought about getting white plastics and letting them "tag" it for me and clearcoat it afterwards.

Personally, I think it looks kind of amateurish. I like Z's idea of tagger art on the fairing. I know we've all seen how awesome some graffiti is and they're using plain old spray cans.
I can appreciate the time and effort the guy put into this, but I don't really like the end result. Maybe I just don't understand it, kind of like Picasso's work doesn't really make sense to me. Idk.

Personal taste? Not for me. Too busy and screams "Look at me dammit!!!". Artistic appreciation?

They did an excellent job. It is a work of art and I'd openly admire it if I saw it. I just wouldn't ride it

That's a copy of a style artist Jona Cerwinske started - he's done sharpie art on all kinds of stuff - notably this Lamborghini Gallardo for a dealership in Miami that specializes in custom creations:


also - Bell Helmets makes a Star and Star Carbon Cerwinske edition:

yeah i was gonna say this reminds me of cerwinskes stuff. I like it or the concept of it at least Im just not a fan of some of the execution of the design though but overall its pretty cool.
