A friend of mine, Cris Trout, has taken up using Instagram as an unlikely vehicle for sharing some of his writing. He’s posted numerous entries of fictitious notes left between bungling roommates. You can track them down by searching for the hashtag #dearrodney. They’re hilarious.
Due to a fit of holiday boredom I did an adaptation of one of these “scripts” into a comic. If any of you like it, and more importantly if Cris likes it, I might make some more. Enjoy!
A little earlier this fall I helped throw a bike polo event for the Philly Bike Expo. At some point it became necessary for the Philly club to have a logo. Here’s a little thing I cooked up at the 11th hour.
After the dust had settled I received an unexpected bit of mail. A special “thank you” from Bina, the Expo organizer. She had gotten my logo made into a custom bicycle head badge! So cool!
We’ve got a new line of men’s and women’s T-shirts available through Aprés Velo for the upcoming Tour Down Under.
Eleanor and I have been hard at work creating two new bicycle print series (among other things). Check out our “Race Legends” and “Tour Down Under” series for sale on her site. As an added bonus all of the “Legends” prints come with a 4×6 postcard with an ink drawing sketch done by me on the front with the corresponding story to the image on the back.
“RACE LEGENDS”
Fiorenzo Magni in the 1956 Giro d’Italia
Andy Hampsten in the 1988 Giro d’Italia
Eugéne Christophe in the 1913 Tour de France
The included “Race Legends” postcard set (front and back).
“TOUR DOWN UNDER”
Eleanor and I took a bicycle tour last year hitting up some of the highlights of the Tour de France. We were so inspired by the trip that we decided collaborate on a series of art prints. All the prints are 12×18″ on linen paper and available through her site. Click on the title links to purchase the individual prints for $30 a piece. The full set is available at a discounted price of $100 here.
