BMX changes so quickly. Just when you think your bike looks the part and things are never going to change, a new trend pops up. A lot of Bob Haro's drawings are from way back so seeing new illustrations pop up with modern geometry, parts, helmets and clothing is always a treat. You know what, this one even came out in colour! Troy Lee Design helmet, Ikonix number plate, Oakley goggles and gloves and (correct me if I'm wrong) Fly clip shoes. A lot of details are put into this drawing which makes it so good. Here's Bob's description of the new illustration: "New artwork in color. Classic BMX artwork, hand drawn, digitized then finished w Adobe Illustrator and photoshop. Fun to merge my classic art with new technology. Enjoy.
With a bit of luck we'll have Bob involved in a future project. Stay tuned for that one.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
