Mini-bike Life Drawing was the perfect post-World Naked Bike Ride wind-down on Sunday! A saxophone player practiced nearby, the breeze blew, the sun shone, drunk kids pestered us for lighters, photos, and drawings of themselves, and best, people kept showing up to draw! The circles and angles of bikes were the perfect complement to people.
Lee, Blake, Lily, Turbo, and Ken modeled with their minibikes and a Bakfiet. By mid-session, there were 25 people drawing and/or posing! We started with 30 second gesture drawings and worked up to 15 minute poses. The response was really positive for regular bike/drawing sessions like this. I’ll do another in August…ideas?
