Motorcycle mania

As a resident of Sparks Nevada, specifically the suburb of Spanish Springs, I am surrounded on a daily basis with all things motocross. In the summer, there is hardly a day when I don't hear the sound of a dirt bike in the hills behind my house or see the dust flying overhead. While I am not a motorcycle rider, I do appreciate those who do ride. Over the years I've been asked to do a few murals depicting a motorcyclist or two(or seven).
I was recently commissioned to create two separate murals for a couple of motocross brothers. For the seven year old, I designed a very graphic mural with him flying through the air, doing the "trick"of his choice, a no-hander. I added the wavy checkerboard border and paint splotches to make this more fun.
For big brother, we needed something more sophisticated. He chose to be depicted crossing a finish line in an arena. We made this a full wall mural, purposefully creating the bottom third of the wall less detailed so that the bed will be able to be in front of the mural without losing anything.
Both of these murals were very challenging, as all motorcycle murals seem to be, and satisfying. Thanks to these two great kids for letting me create their new rooms.
