I signed up for #The100DayProject organised by The Great Discontent (sign up here) and decided to make it #100DaysofBicycles and am making one bicycle drawing per day, taking requests from all my bicycle loving friends. It’s great that each day is a gift to whoever the days bike is and they get all excited when they see their bike as an illustration! I am getting really fast already and each one takes me between a half an hour to two hours each depending on circumstances…

I love bicycles and when I was doing my masters I made a video called “Bike Love” with my friends as the stars for my video module and you can take a look at this at the bottom of the page.

Here are the first 10…
