I met Jody at last year's DESMO BBQ, the 16th annual New York Ducati enthusiast's summer party . I had seen pictures of her bike before, but never had met the artist, Jody Whitsell who one day took a Sharpie Marker to one of the most beautiful Ducati motorcycles ever built, a Ducati Monster S2R.The funny thing is that I had the exact same idea to do to my Ducati 996, and even bought a set of cheap Chinese plastics, which I either wanted to vinyl-wrap, or paint or draw upon myself.Alas, I'll have to be satisfied with chrome rims on the 996 , as I doubt I'll be doing any major art projects any time soon.However, I totally understand the compulsion, and Jody is available for hire should you want a bike, helmet or anything else illustrated © 2017 Tigh Loughhead
