Motobécane. ca. 1929. Geo Ham.
46 ¾ x 31 in./118.7 x 78.7 cm
Geo Ham had a need: a need for speed. Known as the “prince of motion,” he is famous today as the illustrator of Monaco Grand Prix posters from 1933 to 1936, as well as motorboat competitions, air meets and aerobatic competitions between the wars. He produced exactly two posters for Motobécane: this one, presumably the earlier of the two: despite the lady’s scarf waving in the breeze, there isn’t quite as much of a kinetic frisson as Ham’s more mature works. The other Ham Motobécane is directly adjacent.

Monaco Grand Prix 1930. Robert Falcucci.
31 ¼ x 47 3/8 in./79.3 x 120.3 cm
It’s a red, red, ripping and roaring sunset in this gripping design by Falcucci. Created for the second running of the Monaco Grand Prix, it’s arguably one of the best created for the event. (The first Grand Prix was just announced with text; this the first image done for the competition.) We don’t know the maker of this blazing white beast of a racecar, but René Dreyfus took the checkered flag that year in his Bugatti T35B.

Lemmy ~ Motorhead
Quote of the Day: October 31, 2020
“In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other.” ~ Lemmy Kilmister
On an iron horse he flies…
Got my hands on this beauty of an old coffin chopper tank, sanded it down all rough and painted a silver leaf tribute to the one and only Motorhead! #toxicvision #silverleaf #handpainted #coffintank #choppershit #gastank #motorhead #ironhorse #lemmy

You know you got to live to win.. Lemmy most definitely did. And became a legend because of great music like this track. Great music and in this case like in other songs, inspiring lyrics, to be wild, to be free, to be you.. I’m glad I was introduced to motorhead at an early age, glad I got to see them, and still can’t belive he’s gone. But his music is still here, giving positive jolts into life.

Sometimes we gotta laugh at ourselves. Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor really did say it best. Here’s to my fellow artists in all mediums!
