Mr Horse is all about elegance

hello :)
I am SO happy to be here.
This is my first post.
I was working on something completely different when I saw this week's challenge. I couldn't resist the temptation so I jumped right at it.
I love bikes! I love animals! I love animals on bikes... I really do! Really! Click to see for yourself!

Now that I have that off my back, I can go back to drawing more animalism for the Strange Food challenge...

oh, and another thing, I'll be tweeting about this, using hashtag #mondayartday ...
Look me up on Twitter 

And The Winner Is... Deborah Mori!

The winner for the "Bicycle" challenge is:

Deborah Mori!

Congratulations to Deborah Mori (Life Without Novacaine). I chose Deborah's "Monday Artday Bicycle" as the winner for the Bicycle challenge. A simple illustration with charming detail, a fun narrative, a great character - great design and color.

You all made this one very difficult. Some amazing bicycle artwork! I love the inspiration that Monday Artday gives me but Mondays are difficult when it comes down to choosing. I've written this before but I want to repeat it: The quality of art and the wonderful artists here at Monday Artday constantly amaze me. You are all terrific and inspiring and the reason why this blog is so popular. It's always the hardest thing I do all week to pick a winner. Keep 'em coming, artists!

Bike stunt

Wanted to post something new on this topic, but I guess this will have to do. Something I did a while back.

Here's my entry for "bicycle", featuring the greatest bike ever created, and the greatest cheap burritos ever created. All this and more at my blog.

Bicycle! Bicycle!

Thanks to this challenge I have the song going over and over in my head, "I want to ride my bicycle..."

Anyhow, here's my version, both as a simple and fancy silhouette.

Uni Only or No Bicy's Allowed

The Unicy's and Bicy's were at war for many years before reaching the agreement to just chop their world in half. Of course each side has their own propaganda to deal with. Discrediting one wheel over two while or embracing the one wheeled god. Oh, but don't be fooled! You only see this one side of the world, the other is exactly the same except there are two instead of one. Two wheels, two all knowing and all powerful gods and, of course, two lanes on the street.

"One way," Says those with a single tire. "Both ways," Shouts those with two wheels in response. "You're wrong," Each side shouts in symphony yet ignores its counterpart. "We're right," They all continue as arms start to rise.

Another war ensues and after many years of strife the world is finally one. Each side mingles with its other but those that lost the war are now a minority. Segregation seems something all humanoids capable of. Clearly the Unicy's are superior! That is why they won the war, right?

Bicycle : plus one cycle and a robot

I hope you don't mind that I'm riding a plus one bicycle.

Bicycle - Grand Theft Velo

It's old work, so I'm not sure it's challenge worthy, but I couldn't resist sharing these posters for an annual bike race.
