Mountain Biking related artwork
The above link is a url for my Etsy shop, from which I am selling various mountain bike related artwork. I currently have 2 pieces of artwork available and they are described below.
As a trainee Architect and artist I believe I have developed a keen eye for design. With a massive interest in Mountain Biking it feels only natural for me to direct some of my creativity towards the sport I love.
Below is a description of the first two items I have produced...
Product 1 - 'trail centre info board' with inspirational Einstein quotation.This was initially designed as a moving in present for a friend of mine. He, like me, is an avid mountain biker. I wanted to give him something that would really hit the spot. He really liked the piece, as did many of the guests who encouraged me to produce more and sell them - so I have.
The plaque is designed to look a like a trail centre information board and leads with an inspirational quote by Albert Einstein "life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving". The piece then expands to metaphorically describe life as a mountain bike trail.
The design has been professionally printed on to vinyl and backed on to a metal plaque. The plaque is mounted on to a timber board to give it an authentic trail centre info board feel.
I have used the correct type font for the text and the image of the bike is adapted from that generally used for trail marker posts as seen at numerous trail centers around the country.
The metal plaque is set off of the back board with spacers and fixed using socket head bolts to maintain authenticity in the mountain biking world.
Item measures 43 x 22cm. Limited run of 50 produced - each is individually numbered
Product 2 - UK trail centre map - in a London Underground style
