A couple weeks ago, my store held an Armed Forces Day Celebration event where I invited several vendors to come and advertise their businesses/services. Among them was custom pinstriper and sign painter Dirk Blacker. He brought his samples and paint with him, and after seeing some of his work, I had him help me fulfill a dream that I had in the back of my mind for many years: to draw Traveler and Tommy Trojan somewhere on my FJR1300.
Here's a little photo collage of what he did to my motorcycle. Here's the image that I gave him, and Dirk got to work on it.
 |
| This design is originally a sticker, but simply slapping this on the machine wouldn't do it any justice. |
 |
| Here's Dirk with the work in progress. |
 |
| He doesn't need much room to work. Dirk has done tons of rallies in his long career. |
 |
| Some of his other examples. His artwork goes far beyond motorcycles. |
 |
| The finished product! Going to show off my Trojan pride now. |
