There are pieces of the motorbike which in my opinion are timeless iconic, like this 1950s (two-stroke single cylinder) side engine casing which is very simple but has harmonious shapes, I liked the Benelli writing in relief. For many it is certainly simply an "engine crankcase",     I like what I can tell you...

There will be some tests to do before arriving at the final piece, even in this case I will make not many numbered pieces (1/20), also because the mold is delicate, after some time it begins to deteriorate.

If you would like to leave a comment, a suggestion, your personal opinion, please do so, it is always useful.

I found some problems in the plaster mold, precisely in the holes used for extraction, the initial repair did not allow the water to absorb well, with the final result that the piece (engine crankcase) was deformed. It seems like a small spot, but it creates a problem in the finished piece. Sanding everything, I redid a plaster cast inside the hole, smoothing everything at the end.

Together with the Benelli I wanted to reproduce a Mosquito engine crankcase, the size is similar to the first one, honestly I really liked the embossed graphics with the wording made in Italy. The mold is already ready and is in a very long drying phase, it takes a few weeks to drain all the water, almost 4 L. of water.

Ich bin der Meinung, dass auch ein mechanisches Teil seinen Charme hat.
Aus diesem Grund möchte ich das Seitengehäuse eines Gilera Arcore, hergestellt von 1972 bis 1975, nachbilden.

In recent years I have become passionate about urban landscapes, both citizens and abandoned works, old Italian restaurants, old service stations, small city shop windows that have now disappeared but have their own hidden charm...

They are small works carried out on cardboard, with markers, pencil, pen, mixed techniques including watercolour, if you wish to leave a comment feel free.

I attach some photographs of my finished work.

I wanted to reproduce the BING because it is one of the carburetors that I like most aesthetically speaking.
I deliberately left the original color of the ceramic, I only gave it a coat of stain to darken the ceramic joints.
Naturally, ceramic can be painted as desired with any color, even enamelled.
If you like the piece and are interested, give me a shout!

The measurement is taken from the original carburettor, once dry the ceramic shrinks by a small percentage compared to the original piece.

I wanted to do a different test, open the carburettor where the filter and manifold would go, this way the piece is perhaps lighter...

Janus is an American motorcycle manufacturer, their headquarters are in Indiana, they offer completely handmade  motorcycles  with a unique  and  retro style.  Personalized Janus Motorcycles  2023 annual event poster. The work was done on rigid cardboard with acrylic colours, nothing digital, just old pencil, eraser and colours.

The clay parts are dried for a few days, they are fired, once the clay is cooked the pieces are solid ready to be composed.
They can be left raw or painted
In the last phase, all the pieces must be assembled with a two-component glue, then it will be mounted on a pedestal.

Der Zusammenbau des Vergasers und aller seiner Teile ist abgeschlossen, die letzte Phase ist das Kochen bei 1000°, wir sind fast am Ziel...

Some compositions with newspaper sheets, scissors, a bit of vinyl glue.

Dies ist mein neuestes grafisches Werk, das vollständig von Hand gefertigt wurde. Aus der Nähe betrachtet können die Unvollkommenheiten nicht verborgen bleiben, ebenso wie die Spuren des Durchlaufens von Marker und Bleistift und verschiedener Radierungen, aber um ehrlich zu sein, ist mir das egal ...
