Isn't 981 a CZ model number?

I think around Y2K was your best period; sexy ladies, guitars and Vise-Grips. Man what a combo!  ;D

Good work CJ, that must do the mojo some good? I'm constantly in awe of anyone who can take a thought or concept and turn it into a piece of art, that you can take mechanical objects that art 'experts' might not find traditional enough for their narrow perspective and turn them into beautiful art works is a true gift my friend. Giving vicegrips a soul is a talent worth bottling. Add an extraordinary gift for the written word, playing in a band (I can't think of the bands name but I've got the CD and they're pretty bloody good)) and playing with and racing old motorcycles and you get an interesting mix. Keep it going mate.

I am not sure whether to like it or not. I am a bit of a realist when it comes to paintings, Roger Harvey Illustration do it for me. 8)

no no every one is different - there are no prints - I suppose I could try & get some made- but that incurs a steep (& honestly unreasonable) cost that goes to someone else anyway~!

ok Dave here is one for you - this one is only six and a half feet wide...

Wow, I like that one, my wife would have a fit, if I mounted that print, Seige, 30 years ago I use to paint Australiana, I do respect your work., Roger Harvey Illustation are brilliant, I love his work, and I like your restoration that you do on your bikes too, the more I look at the painting of 981, its growing on me.

Dave you're a good man- not because of your kind words- which I appreciate
but because you allow me to hassle you (as we say here)

my own favorite painter isn't Picasso; it's NC Wyeth, who painted some incredible depictions of the American West, along with Treasure Island, and the toughest tough guys I had EVER seen in my life - this is through the eyes of a young kid in the Stormy Northwest in the late 60s... and to that kid, Disney couldn't compete with this...

How about some Norman Rockwell Dave...... A bit easier to understand than Jackson Pollock

Siege, Mark, I do like them, the art work is amazing, Thank you, There was a time years ago I had to do a job at a house in Croydon Melbourne, I went inside this house and I notice on the wall was a photo of a motorcycle, I can`t not remember the model but it was 1935 to 50 era, I said to fellow and his wife, that is a nice photo, and he said to me, his son painted it, it blow me out, the attention the detail was amazing. you could see the edges of the nuts and bolts. the son was brilliant.

yeah I know what you mean- it's funny - the style almost doesn't matter - as long as it grabs you. I've always kinda thought Art needs to be running the show- not worried if thing aren't absolutely perfect - so I paint something, and then "ruin" it - and only THEN does it suddenly start shining...
