Bike Anywhere: From blog art to poster series
Illustration
The Bike Anywhere posters originated as a series of illustrations for my blog, Bike Gear Database, designed to serve as section headers for various types of bikes—road, mountain, gravel, kids, etc. I was really pleased with how they turned out, but it wasn’t long after that I decided to pivot the website away from the database to focus on long-form content.
Recently, I felt a strong pull to revisit this project, using it as an opportunity to sharpen my illustration skills which had taken a backseat during my tech-focused years. Originally crafted in Figma, I opted for a return to my roots this time around, choosing Adobe Illustrator to recreate and enhance the bike illustrations.
These posters aren’t just artwork—they served as a catalyst for the site you're viewing now. The process of redrawing these bikes rekindled my love for hands-on creative work, leading me to a significant decision—quitting my tech contracts to pursue more fulfilling creative endeavors full-time.

Update: The posters were recently featured on The Radavist!
