My latest junk art bike

[Charley Davidson]

Just finished this about an hour ago

Not sure about the front clip - the newness seems a little mismatched maybe? But who am I to say, still more coolness than what I've done today.

 

[Charley Davidson]

It was all I had to work with

 

[Sam_Fear]

I hear ya. That saddle and the rest of it just look way more cool than the front forks and tire. Like the dog(?) in the background too - I don't think I've seen that one before.

....Don't you have a truck to work on?

That's a giraffe in the back ground

Yeah I got a truck to work on but need to make this stuff & sell it so I can work on it.

I didn't even open that third pic!? It looks a lot better from that angle. Might wanna make the purple disappear - kinda strong with the orange. Hope you don't mind my comments.

Not the giraffe (didn't see that) , the short one with the shovels for a head.

The alligator

Gotta Ask..

What got you started in this...... and I'm not being a smart a__.... just curious how much of a market there is for your artwork? I know my wife loves this type of thing, like the alligator and we've got stuff in the garden like that now...

Sold $1,100.00 in one day at my first craft show.

I like making thing out of junk I guess[S

I personally don't like using actual motorcycle parts on the junk art bikes I build but that is the toughest part (the front end) finding cool stuff for forks and steering. These things are big & heavy so they need to be maneuverable for mowing

 

[Charley Davidson]

I'm building something tonight I think will make you guys [dr

All I'm gonna say is it's a flower pot

[Sam_Fear]

A rat flower pot. Can't wait! [P

So generally how much do you/can you/have you got out of one of your bikes? ...or one of your other creations?

 

[Charley Davidson]

Biker guys I build $150

Small table top size $35-$50
