Bicycle Paintings & Custom Bicycle Portraits

I found this site while searching for fixed-gear links. It's amazing. I love looking at bicycles. There is a simple and elegant mechanicalness about them. There are also very personal elements about bicycles such as color or type of bicycle. Looking at bicycles also brings back the very physical feelings of riding a bike. These paintings capture all of that. These bicycles are in repose, but that is just temporary. They are just waiting to be ridden.

Taliah also does something I've never seen before. She post pictures of works in progress so you can see the piece develop. This is so cool!

The bars have me thinking of an infinity sign.

I might add that Taliah also has the distinction of being the 2000 NY State Champion, Women's Match Sprint - Track. No mean feat.
