AMERICAN TATTOOS



Among the most visually powerful tattoos are those that can only be called American. Whether it’s Old Glory in red white and blue spread across a bicep, or the Harley-Davidson bar and shield done in orange with a black outline, these images are among the most compelling ever seen. This new book from ArtKulture and Wolfgang Publications begins with a discussion of the things that define an American Tattoo. There’s the subject matter of course, but also the overall design, the style and the bold colors.


American Tattoos is from ArtKulture, sister company to Wolfgang Publications. This week you can add this photo-intensive tattoo book to your collection for only $17.95. Save ten bucks off the regular $27.95 price and get free shipping to continental US addresses.

ROCK AND ROLL SUNDAY POST
This is going to be very quick. I promise myself not to plan anything on Sundays, but you know exactly how that goes, with guests, events, women, and whiskey. There's always something. This weekend we are loading the Assalt Weapan and taking it to the Chowder Barge in the early afternoon. I'll haul a box of books and sign 'em while I wonder what I fucked-up in the Sunday Post.

WILD PLAYOFFS SUNDAY POST
I'm scrambling after our goals for 2012. I want to have both Mudflap Girl bikes running this month and off the lifts. Plus, we are scrambling to kick our Bonneville effort off the ground.

Hopefully, next week you will witness some amazing changes to the Bikernet family, plus we will launch the Bonneville effort for 2012. Okay, I know it's PlayOff Sunday. Let's hit the news:

DISCOVERED IN NEW ZEALAND, HOME OF WORLD's FASTEST INDIAN
NZ is a land where racers are bigger than rock stars. NZ is a land where Andrew Stroud is actually as popular as Charlie Sheen is in the land between Charlie’s ears. The movie, “The World’s Fastest Indian,” about Burt Munro might not officially be required viewing in the NZ school system, but more kids have probably seen it, then read, “Where the Red Fern Grows.”

SLEEPY SUNDAY POST
We are nearing the end of our first week into the new year, and we're cooking. I sense this is a critical year in so many respects. Plus, it's going to be damn exciting. I spent five hours yesterday morning on a conference call with the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) Board of Directors. With the support of SMROs they keep an eye on everything that moves regarding motorcycles in Washington, from Helmet laws to the EPA.
