BIKE SHED moto SHOW | PAST. PRESENT. FUTURE | 26 - 28 May 2023 | TOBACCO DOCKS | London UK
It was truly an honor to be part of such a remarkable event organized by The Bike Shed and made possible by the support and presence of every wonderful individual who attended.
Â
As a small independent business, I am humbled that I could contribute to this unique gathering. Each conversation, smile, compliment, hug, story, and project inquiry I received warmed my heart and reinforced my passion for what I do.
Â
Beyond the awe-inspiring custom builds that filled every corner of the breathtaking Tobacco Docks venue in Greater London, the show offered so much more.

The live music performances were sensational, and the specialty coffee, tea, food trucks, and inviting stalls added to the vibrant atmosphere. The tipi tents for kids to draw on, shed talks in the cinema area featuring icons like Wade Eastwood among many others, as well as the presence of amazing brands and shed builds, made it an unforgettable experience.

Â
Whether it was your first time at the Bike Shed Custom Motorcycle Show or you have been on this journey for a while, I believe you will share my view that the atmosphere was so friendly. Sometimes the simplest words are the most accurate. It's hard to put into words the genuine warmth and camaraderie that permeated the event.
Â
If you haven't treated yourself, your family, or your friends to this rich experience, I urge you to give it a try at least once in your lifetime. Even if you're not a biker, the craftsmanship, art, design, conversations, stories, music, people, and food offer an unparalleled immersion into the true essence of custom culture. You will undoubtedly leave feeling inspired, with your soul full, satisfied, and grateful for making the decision to be a part of it.

Now, let me share what I was doing there amidst this captivating setting.
If you attended, you would have seen me live painting on a brand new leather jacket supplied by the amazing Goldtop England, whose impressive collection was displayed right next to my humble art stand.
Â
The specific jacket I worked on is "The 617 Jacket", so if you missed your chance to grab one, I encourage you to visit Goldtop website and just have a look around.
And if you're considering customizing your current or new jacket with your unique twist, you know where to find me [contact form].

I was truly privileged to exhibit among well-established brands. Though it was my first time exhibiting at The Bike Shed, I am no stranger to showcasing my work. You could see me live painting a fuel tank at this years events like MCN Devitt London in February or Kickback Custom Show in Manchester begining of April (read blog here).
