My Keith Haring bike

Keith Haring was born in May 4th, 1958. Later, Keith Haring became an art student at the School of Visual Arts in New York. He wanted to bring art to everyone rather than creating art only for museums. He wanted to be able to communicate to the whole world. One day, while riding the subway, Keith noticed some black paper hanging in all the unused advertising space. He ran to a store, bought some white chalk and started drawing. Owning to the fact that he knew he could get in trouble with the police, he had to draw fast. He drew simple figures, which became little characters; people hugging each other, dogs, flying saucers... This is how he invented his style. He died on Febuary the 16th, 1990.

I had to design a two bicycles in the style of Keith Haring. I used mainly the people he had drawn. I didn't wamt to design a normal bike. That's why my first bike is a classical bike, one they had in former times. I wanted to make something else than drawing characters on the wheels, so I make the frame full of little persons.



















As my second bike, I didn't want to have a normal bike either. I have chosen to draw an unicycle. It had to be different from my earlier bike, so I couldn't do all those little persons as a frame again. That's why I thought to draw all those little persons in the spokes. They are all doing a different activity.
