These
bizarre bikes are sure to get plenty of engines racing.
The
incredible motorcycles are made from human models covered in
bodypaint and contorted into amazing shapes. Artist Trina
Merry, from San Francisco, California, has made a dirt
bike, cruiser and sports bike out of her flexible subjects.
Engines racing: The
incredible designs will be used to front a major motor show as it
tours the U.S.
Racy creations: The models
are covered with natural, hypoallergenic paints, which is touched up
once they are in position
Masterful marvel: The
cruiser bike is sure to impress motor enthusiasts when Trina Merry's
Hollywood talent goes on the road
The surreal vehicles are now about to be used to
front a high-profile U.S. motor show.
All of the speed queen models are athletes, and are
made to pose in position for between five and six minutes over a
period of up to 18 hours.
They
are completely naked except for patches covering their modesty. Ms
Merry then slathers them with hypoallergenic paint, using brushes and
spray-cans, partly before they pose and partly once in position. She
previously designed for films and TV in Hollywood, before taking
a break to work all over the world creating bodyart.'I suppose
it started when I went to a rock concert working with an Australian
band,' she said. 'They asked me to get on stage covered in body paint
and I ended up doing it in front of 300 people.
Out on a limb: Another view
of the cruiser bike in this behind-the-scenes shot exposes the
anatomy of the design
