Blue Bones


"Blue Bones"

These bones adorn a Harley Davidson V-Rod custom painted with cobalt blue kandy. Over 33 hours of airbrushing went into this set. The bones covered every piece of the bike, fenders, frame, side covers and radiator covers. All the art work was laid out in base white then given depth, detail and shadowing with layers of a custom kandy blue/black. Then a dusting of oriental kandy blue to give a glowing effect.

( a comparison of thenew and old tank cover)



Unfortunately the original Bones V-Rod suffered some damage and the entire paint scheme had to be redone. The owner loved the original paint job so much he wanted it duplicated. This was actually a welcome challenge. As an artist you are always criticizing your work and trying to find ways to improve so this gave me the chance to correct and improve on the original. So another 33 + hours later the new and improved Bones Bike was ready.
