Rusty Bikes

I've started a series of old, beat up bikes. There's something sad and poetic about a bike, or any machine come to that, which has outlived it's usefulness and has been abandoned by it's owner in a shed or a corner of a garden. I love painting rust and heaps of rubbish so this is going to be an interesting project for me. The second one, "Chinese Bike" was adapted with kind permission from a photo by a young Frenchman living in Japan. Some great photography on his blog.
