Bikeway Map
Ahoy. Another post finally. I probably oughta do this more often...
Here's what I made.
Like a subway map, but for bikes. Yikes. Next step is to illustrate each route. Maybe they'll end up as a book or long poster. Not quite sure how to combine this map with illustrations for each route. Ideas? I was thinking to have each bubble reference a (set of?) illustration(s), perhaps in an accordion fold book.

Scott McCloud TED lecture
Found this video on Wooster Collective awhile ago. It kinda gave me the idea to present this project in a comic type format. Well worth the 17 minutes. Check it out.

Here are a few (other) good sites to learn about fixing bikes--
(until I take over the world)
first, Sheldon Brown. The man seems to have been a walking bicyclopedia. All sorts of information about...well, all sorts of things.
Park Tool. They make nice tools, and are a great resource for repair instructions. As is this one. This fella's made a bunch of videos about fixing bikes. Kind of nerdy (me too!), and really good.
If you are interested.

Inspiration, or...
The first computer illustration I made was a circular sketch-up of how to wrap bars on a road bike. I like how legible (right?) it is-- the basic instructions made sense to people other than my roomates and I. Which is good.
What I don't like about it? It's WICKED lame. Not even a little bit interesting. Except for that little fella in there.
And then I have some hand drawn images which I like, and thought maybe I would do for everything. And THEN I found this (in my bookmarks folder): Frank Chimero's illustration process. (website here)
AND THEN(!) I found some comic book stuff. How word bubbles are used in comics. (from blambot dot com) A comic about fixing bikes? Nice!
