Title: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: twistdchick on April 28, 2010, 09:55:57 AM http://s955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/twistdchick/Sharpie%20marker%20Ducati/ (http://s955.photobucket.com/albums/ae36/twistdchick/Sharpie%20marker%20Ducati/)
So here it is - the broad views of my bike! I'll do the close-up views in another posting, because I don't know how to do it! Anyway, last year I got my bike - 2006 Monster S2R and got a new helmet - a white Arai. I felt like a Storm Trooper from Star Wars, so my son said "sharpie it!". 20 hours of work, and clear coat, and I was HOOKED! I decided then, to do my whole bike at the end of the winter. So I wrote down all the things that I love, make me laugh, and show my personality. I had the red painted white and scuffed to accept the maker better. I spent 75 hours on the couch, floor, table... until my butt was numb, but it was DONE! I had it cleared by Toon Town Paint in Pine Island, NY (close to where I live). Watching people look at the bike is great - I purposely did lettering by the Ducati sticker on the tank to say "Sharpie Edition" so people would think that Ducati came out with this special bike! It does fool people at first, but then they see all the personal stuff drawn, and think "why did Ducati put THIS on here?" THEN I tell them that I did it by hand with a Sharpie marker, and their face gets crinkled up, their mouth hangs open, with no words coming out for a few minutes. It's fun for me! (but not as much fun as RIDING my bike!) [moto] I put Homer Simpson drooling saying "ummmm... Ducatis.... ahhhhgggh", along with C3PO saying "naked? what do you mean naked? My parts are showing?", with Stewie saying "do you realize what the deuce you're looking at? a MARKER I tell you!", and of course Daffy Duck, which is ME. I even hid "Waldo" in there for a challenge for people to find. Everyone spends so much time looking and reading everything, then go around the bike again and again, and see things they didn't see before! [popcorn] I really enjoy it, and enjoy people's reaction to it as well! I especially love it because it couldn't get ANY more personal, with all my favorite things, people, sayings, and all, AND the fact that I did the artwork myself (I am an artist that specializes in crazy colorful dog portraits) It's really a dream come true - to own a Ducati that it undeniably MINE! [thumbsup] Other things that were done to it by my husband (also rides a 2006 Monster, but the 1000 S2R) - was the lower seat, a lowering link, tail chop, and an air horn so I can actually be heard! (especially above his dry clutch and quad-D (X-Box) exhaust!!!) So that's the story of me and my bike for now! Thanks for listening and looking!

makes me want to paint mine white and get crazy!

i have to say that whoever did this bike obviously has artistic talent the stuff on the bike is just way "too good" to be someone that just decided to do this. great work!!!

I'm still figuring out this whole "forum" thing, - don't really know where this "reply" will go, but I just wanna say thanks to all! I still have a few things I want to do after this riding season - the larger thing being powder coating the swing arm red to match the frame. In the meantime, I'll ride the deuce out of it, and maybe enter it in a few shows? [moto] Anyway, I did it for ME and I'm so glad so many of you are enjoying it - thanks again! [cheeky] Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: somegirl on April 28, 2010, 04:30:44 PM I'm glad you decided to start a thread to show it off!

Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: shiftless on April 28, 2010, 04:49:17 PM Phenomenal!!! What a great idea, and you certainly have the imagination and the skill to really make it work. It's so well executed. I like your sense of humor too.
Maybe we ought to pool our money, send you a bike, and then make suggestions as to what to put on it (but then you would probably just ignore us and do your own thing , and rightly so) ;D It could be kept as forum mascot (in my garage of course). Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: sbrguy on April 28, 2010, 06:07:55 PM you have to post up more pictures of the bike, so what we can see all the details of it, and what other characters you have on it.. its just insane... we havn't seen the fender art that well yet.
come on, do some more stuff on the white wheels, so that is more real estate for you to put even more stuff on.. i really want to see what other stuff you can come up with. there is some truly funny stuff on that bike. Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: Drunken Monkey on April 28, 2010, 06:30:03 PM I seriously love this bike.

Post by: MendoDave on April 28, 2010, 07:37:59 PM No don't do the rims. It looks good with the solid rims. If you do the rims it will be too much. I think it's almost perfect just the way it is. Paint the belt covers white and do something on those. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: BastrdHK on April 28, 2010, 07:47:49 PM Definitely rims, foot controls, exhaust shields, engine covers, forks, sprocket carrier and belt covers.
Powder coat disc carriers, swingarm and sprocket carrier nuts red...add a red linked chain....wow....I can see it Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: He Man on April 28, 2010, 08:29:35 PM this is make the beast with two backsing AWESOME MAN!!!!

Love the creativity. One question though, is there any kind of protection over your hard work (ie clear coat) or is that necessary over sharpie? I wouldn't want anything like that getting smudged from gas or other chemicals. Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker!

Post by: Monster Dave on April 29, 2010, 12:27:39 PM It's so much better than the Roland Sands sharpie bike I agree - but I do like this feature from one of the RS bikes: (http://hellforleathermagazine.com/images/leovincelaser2.jpg) Correction - that's not something that was done by RS, but a new option from LeoVince! That would sure go well with the Sharpie motif. [thumbsup] Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker!

Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: Howley on April 29, 2010, 11:51:00 PM I had it cleared by Toon Town Paint in Pine Island, NY (close to where I live) That's really cool! [thumbsup] Are you going to clear coat over it? edit: sounds like you did clear it from your other post. you need to clear coat this to preserve the awsomeness BREAKING NEWS! THE BIKE HAS ALREADY BEEN CLEARCOATED!!! One question though, is there any kind of protection over your hard work (ie clear coat) or is that necessary over sharpie? I wouldn't want anything like that getting smudged from gas or other chemicals. Wow. Everyone forgot how to read! Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: mojo on April 30, 2010, 01:13:21 AM This is one of the coolest custom Monsters I've seen. Even though it doesn't really have any other mods done. We can all bolt on parts to make our bikes unique, but she spent a ton of time making it truly one of a kind.
I strongly disagree with the BOMB comments. This isn't a Bike Of the Month Baby, this is a Bike Of the Year. [thumbsup] Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: Duck-Stew on April 30, 2010, 02:25:03 AM Simply Ah-Maz-ing.
I'm blown away with this simple plan that has been masterfully executed. Perhaps with the power of the Internet, the addage that artists never get famous till they're dead will disappear... as you certainly are a talented artist deserving of some recognition for your work.

Very glad you chose a Monster as your palate. The addition of the fork reflectors - very unique! Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: mojo on April 30, 2010, 07:29:59 AM Forgot to mention that we need more pics so we can find Waldo ;D

Post by: Qwack on April 30, 2010, 04:00:15 PM [bow_down] [bow_down] That is just beautiful [thumbsup] and If you should ever decide to retire your sharpie stead, you could display it in the living room, or the dining room..Definitely qualifies as Fine Art in my book. Truly AMAZING. [moto]
Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: AkLiz on May 02, 2010, 07:10:29 PM Gads that is amazing!!! It doesn't even *look* like it was done with a Sharpie! Seeing your bike makes me wish I had even an iota of creative talent. [bow_down]
Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: DoubleEagle on May 02, 2010, 08:55:39 PM I haven't seen anything quite like this since a friend of mine got some MDA back in the early '70's and stayed up for 3 days with some pens and drew on a big piece of paper, the neatest , most intricate, piece of " art " I had seen up to that point in my life.
You created a work of art that needs to be captured for the ages. Excellent !!! Dolph :) Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: hunduc on May 03, 2010, 02:00:08 AM all the adjectives were used up before...
just amazing. [bow_down] you should have made a sped-up video of the whole creative process... Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: twistdchick on May 03, 2010, 06:23:00 AM Hi again everyone!
thanks so much for your praise on all my Sharpie artwork on my bike!!!! [thumbsup] I'll start a write-up for the BoMB and more pics - maybe even a video walk-around? If I can figure THAT out!! [bang] Anyway, here's a few things I'm responding to - 1- I'll consider removing the side panels and see if I like the look 2- Those really sweet fork reflectors are being removed [clap] 3- NO... no other Sharpie action will be done on the bike - sorry! An artist has to know when to stop, and how to edit! 4- The evap canister is gone - that is my air horn, and that's staying, because I need a horn to match my big mouth! - (if you knew me, you'd be laughing now!) [laugh] e- I DID put bacon on my bike! (before I knew this forum and the whole "bacon" thing!) I drew "wakey wakey eggs and bakey" and drew bacon and eggs [bacon] GO MEAT! 5 - I'll put more close-up shots including the fender and where Waldo is at - to keep ya lookin' [popcorn] So thanks again so very much - I'm totally honored to be complimented so much in so many ways - I'd love to meet all of ya! [bow_down] So far, I'm having my bike be at Cliffs Cycle Revolution in Ct. for their open house on May 22nd (I did Cliffs helmet for him) and I'll bring it to one of the Wed. night car/bike shows up at Bear Mountain in NY. Warning... I'll take ya up on buying me a beer!! [beer] thanks again! Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: Triple J on May 03, 2010, 06:58:09 AM Wow. Everyone forgot how to read! No...there were two separate threads which then got merged. One of the threads (the close-up one, which is where my comment was posted) didn't mention she had it clear coated. Thanks though. [roll] Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker!

Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker! Post by: The Bacon Junkie on May 03, 2010, 11:18:24 AM Nah, don't do the wheels...

I say leave the wheels white. I think the swingarm and chain in red will look sweet. I think you should either remove the sidepanels or paint them white and continue with the theme. Gorgeous!

I can't wait to see it!!!
I'm sending pics to DNA's promotions manager - I met him at the Ducati Island at the AMA races in Millville NJ. He said that if I had the bike with me, he would have put it in with their bikes! - DAMN! I didn't ride it there - three hours of boring riding each way for me... no thanks. Next year, I'll throw it in the van!!! Title: Re: My Monster-art hand done by ME - 75 hours with a Sharpie marker!
