art deco sketch art of Michael Kaluta, from the artwork book of the movie "Metropolis", the incredible 1927 silent film

I didn't want to watch the silent film, not once I learned that a anime version with English vocals was made. It's a magnificent epic story that varies a lot from the original, and I recommend it highly. The original was written about on Wikipedia, and seems to be a very difficult story to follow, and that must be why it was editted differently by anyone who could, resulting in every known copy that existed from the 1930's to the 1990's having about 30 minutes cut from it to make the story cohesive. Watch the anime version for enjoyment, or the original if you're a film afficianado. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293416/

Traditional signs painted by Aaron, variety, medium, and style are no problem!

The Greenqueso.com isn't running right now, so instead, look at his work on Flikr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicesigns/sets/72157594223628156/




I love gold leaf, it looks so damn professional and elegant










5 years of professional (working for the man!) sign painting has endowed Aaron with lots of experience painting on completely different materials, and in different styles. Obviously, right?


He's looking to get hired to paint signs, boats, signboards, or that project you've been putting off... so get ahold of him by calling 707 758 3297

You can look through his portfolio, via Flikr : http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicesigns/sets/72157594223628156/

Pinstriper Spiderman, he set up office temporarily at SEMA, and Tere just happened to get there first thing and he pinstriped her camera!

The work of an artist is pretty cool, and a lot of people stopped by to watch, to compliment, and to talk






Now that is a cool signature























Way cool pin

Rafik Kaissi (RK Concepts) has created a bike that blew my mind by the innovative concept of welding industrial chain for the backbone

at the middle of the steering, are these words
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"


Placed 10th in the international World Championship in 2009 at Sturgis, http://www.amdchampionship.com/content.php?page=registry§ion=viewbike&event=2009world&bikenumber=027


That copper antique fire extinguisher is the fuel tank... a photo at the end of this gallery shows what I'm talking about




That seat is mounted to a piece of leaf spring... looped over one link, and under the one in front of it, in a half hook shape that allows it to be moved to different links to allow for riders of different length legs or arms. Genius!


























The front suspension is a half leaf spring, and it is clamped with 3 U bolts, and this allows for longer front forks by sliding the leaf spring out equally on both sides of the front fork. Genius!
























Holding the headlight assemble together with small bicycle size chain, really cool thematic continuation


A little difficult to see on this below photo is the brake fluid resevoir that is the top part of a grenade








Easier to see the grenade top in the below photo









































In the above photo the small chain can be seen on both ends of the shifter and the end of the exhaust pipe








Notice a tiny piston used as a brake light
