The Radavist

It’s no secret that Instagram is a wonderful place to find artists. We’ve collaborated with many over the years on various designs we’ve put on t-shirts, bottles, and more. Recently John connected with cycling illustrator Høj Art, who requested drawing his Steve Potts Signature, using his photos as a reference. Daniel Rebour’s work heavily inspires their style.

Last night Høj Art sent over the final illustrations and we’re elated to share these beautiful drawings with you, so let’s check out the full spread below!

I tell ya what, it’s been a real honor to see so many of my photographs inspire artists to render those vignettes in their own hand style. Jason Pawley dropped this beautiful drawing of Bailey sending his basket bike (again) on his Instagram this morning and it was the first thing I saw when I got out of bed. It’s from our Caja Overnighter post from a few weeks ago. Follow Jason and his work on his Instagram…

Tucson-based artist Revolta Art illustrated the map from Spencer’s Babad Do’ag Backroads 138 mile route we posted a little while back and she just updated her Etsy store with these amazing little postcards of the map. Order one or a few and send them to your friends to invite them to partake in this slice of Sonoran heaven. These cards are $3 a pop at her Etsy shop!

A side note: I hope everyone is respectful when they travel to Tucson. Please be nice, say hi to trail users and be sure to tip well in town!

Denis Carrier, aka L’ermitage designed this Paul Touring Canti camp stove as a fun illustration and Paul is asking the question:

If we made a camp stove out of Touring Canti Brakes like this, what would be a clever name? Hell, let’s make it interesting, whoever’s clever name gets the most likes, we’ll send ya a PAUL bottle opener.

Head on over to the Paul Instagram to leave your best comment!

Side note: Do you remember when we collaborated with Paul on limited editon purple Touring Cantis way back when?

Cycling-related art prints are always fun and to help support the cycling community here in Santa Fe, we reached out to our friend Jeff Hantman to see if he’d be willing to let us sell some of his “Bike Part Alphabet” art prints in our webshop. These prints are for the vintage aficionados, dirt freaks, parts bin pickers, and co-op combers, with lots of cycling ephemera represented by each of the letters of the alphabet.

Here’s what Jeff has to say about these prints:

I started drawing the artwork for “Bike Part Alphabet” in March of 2020. The idea for the print was to represent each letter of the alphabet with a bike part.

I started riding mountain bikes in the early ’90s and wanted to include as many parts from those early days. My approach was to avoid using brands; however, there were a few letters that were challenging so I got creative with my own rule.

This is an open edition, 3 color silkscreen, printed on 19”x 25” 100# acid-free French Paper with Green Galaxy water-based inks.

These prints are in stock now at the Radavist webshop for $100 plus shipping to the United States only please!

Look, we’re huge Dune fans over here and we’re patiently awaiting the movie. The interstitial space between bikes and sci-fi is rather small, so when something like this pops up, we have to share it. Bryan Buswell designed this insane stillsuit art with a Shai-Hulud cresting in the background for Ultradynamico’s Mars tires. Could this be the greatest bicycle tire ad of the 21st century?

Available in two sizes, 24 x 36″ or 13 x 19″ and printed on 100# text weight paper.

In stock at Ultradynamico.

We’ve featured the work of artist Dean Liebau before, who takes inspiration for many of our pieces here at the Radavist with beautiful Conte pencil illustrations. The latest Dean posted is Bailey’s Moné 29er, all packed up from our CDT tour last summer. Dean also just announced a new contest dubbed #DrawMyKona. Find all the information for that below and give Dean a follow on Instagram!

The latest from 100 Copies is a little different than their previous designs:

“Taking inspiration from the Bauhaus style graphic design, this artwork combines geometric shapes, balanced forms and bold blocks of colour, to create an abstract depiction of 8 cyclists passing one another on the road. Can you spot them all?

The iconic Bauhaus art movement has impacted our ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. Its reach in the modern society is everywhere: From skyscrapers to household objects and even the humble bicycle. It brought art into everyday life and shaped the way we live today. Cycling, too, can be both an everyday affair and an art form.“
