Off Route

Its been a while, but I'm gonna try and get back on top of this...
Love this photo by Gary Breece, who is exhibiting his work at Brooklyn based Smith and Butler another good excuse to go there...!

Love the color

Melanie Bilenker

I think these are kind of amazing. Inspired by victorian mourning lockets, these 'drawings' made by Melanie Bilenker are photographic images rendered in lines of the artists own hair. I can only imagine the patients it must take....

A post inspired by motorbikes!

On the back of our recent posts about Everest and tweed (!) and general 'hardiness', which we love, I started thinking about motorcycle racers. So I wanted to post about Barry Sheene, a motorcycle racing hero during the 70's. I just couldn't find images that did his classic '70's cool' justice. However, I began coming across images of George Harrison, who loved motor racing in general, cars etc, and I came across the images above which I loved and thought I would share (Barry Sheene is pictured with Harrison in the first). I didn't really achieve what I set out out do, but hey! And yeah that's George Harrison in the last image.

I will keep looking for the right images for a motorcycle posting. I'd love to find great images of some old classics like Triumph motorcycles, like the Bonneville.
