To say the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2016 is a blast would be a huge understatement.
I wasn’t really planning on going to Sturgis this year. I’ve been to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally a couple times before, and it’s always fun. Each experience is different.
Everything changed a few short weeks ago when I was chatting with renown photographer Michael Lichter about this year’s Art of the Motorcycle Show. He offered to share one of my motorcycle paintings if I had something tattoo-inspired to show. I didn’t.
My latest painting, DREAM 103, along with my figurative drawing, LOTUS, were showcased at the Skin & Bones Tattoo Inspired Art and Motorcycle Exhibit curated by Michael Lichter.
That essentially set everything in motion. I have a lot of respect for Michael’s photography and his legendary art shows celebrating motorcycles and the biker lifestyle, so I really wanted to be part of this year’s show. That’s pretty much how my newest painting, DREAM 103 came to be and became part of the SKIN AND BONES Tattoo-inspired Motorcycle and Art Show. I created DREAM 103 for Michael’s show.
Beyond that, we experienced the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and the Legendary Buffalo Chip in epic fashion that made Vegas seem tame, and put it all together in a fun video for you. I know you’ll enjoy it.
