What is a Bike Portrait?
A bike portrait can be either a painting or drawing of someone’s bike (can also be a car, truck, boat or plane etc.), set in a background style of the owners choice like the Mercedes above.
How to order your BikePortrait:
Either email a number of hi quality images of your bike to us, best results are obtained with the rider in the saddle, but this optional.
Nominate the type of setting you would like the bike placed in, for example; waterfront, outback, highway, country, desert or whatever.
When all the information has been received the artwork begins with a drawing of your bike ready for painting. A proof of the artwork is then sent to the buyer by email for approval along with a request for a $150 deposit.
When the deposit and approval is received the artwork is taken to the final stages of development with a final proof being sent to the buyer for approval and final paymnet, when this is received the artwork is despatched.

Images and Photos:
When photographing your bike for a portrait there are a few tips that will make a better portrait when the artwork is finished
- take a number of 3/4 shots from front and back - see diagram 1
- Take photos in kneeling position
- Avoid full side on shots as they tend not to make a good portrait - see diagram 2
Diagram 1: shots taken in the direction of the arrows make the better subject
