Sharpie bike?

If you cannot afford to paint it, try your own freehand.

This was done with Sharpie Markers.

It reminds me of the Doodle Arts from the seventies. I'd be afraid to park it anywhere, some kids might come and fill in the colors! :eek5:

That's a really cool idea. I'd hope he shot a couple coats of clear over that after doing it though to avoid other "contributions".

Yup! She did clear on triple coats. She also did her white helmet too.

Wonder how long that took?!?!

Found this:

Jesse Lockhart and Nick Schuman spent 50 hours creating this custom-designed motorcycle. They each chose a side of the $10,000 Honda sports bike and worked on their drawings at the same time. They used only two markers each for the whole project—one fine-tipped for outlining and one fat chisel-tipped for filling in. Among the designs on the bike, you’ll find the Michelin Man and Woody the Woodpecker.

And a blog about it here: http://blog.sharpie.com/2009/07/hot-wheels/

Getting the real dark sections filled in evenly, that must have been a challenge. Is the sharpie the new airbrush? Wouldn't say it's my "thing" but impressive nonetheless.
