This was a vintage horror movie theme bike by airbrush artist Dale Lawrence, aka “Uncle D.” Although I’m not a personal fan of the “naked lady with a sword riding a unicorn” style, the artwork displayed in Uncle D’s booth was amazing enough to make me look twice.
In fact, it made me look a few times. And by “a few times,” I mean “I was there for half an hour photographing two of the several bikes at his booth.” Needless to say, seeing the talent and effort that goes into these paint jobs could make you change your mind about unicorns and the naked ladies with swords who ride them…..
