Re: Unicycle Picture/Print/Painting wanted!
bos
Hi, I am after a new picture/print/painting for above my fireplace and
would really like something with a unicycle/unicyclist in it. Something
subtle would be ideal.
Does anyone know of anything out there? Thanks for any help you can
offer..... Heidi

I found 'THIS PAINTING HERE' (http://tinyurl.com/csmkw) on ebay, but
it's a bit bright, and might not fit the style of your home.
What kind of feel should it have? Whats the color of the wall, and
mantle?

Thanks Catboy!
I can't get the Ebay link to work. Do you have the item number?
The room is all very neutral. The walls are cream and the fireplace is
made out of natural stone (cream colour too!). I could introduce any
colour but didn't want anything that is too in your face! :)

why not get one commissioned?
my gf has got a local artist to do one for my birthday - practically the

If you're interested in a photo, have a look at my unicycling photo
albums here:
http://www.unicycling.com/ofoto/uni.htm
Tons of subject matter to choose from, and you can order prints up to 24
x 36". You might want to check with me first on the quality of your
chosen image. I can let you know if I think it's sharp enough to hold up
to large-sized printing.
Take a look at NAUCC 2004 for some beautiful mountain shots. Or also the
2004 MUni Weekend pre-rides. Then of course there's Moab. Or if you want
straight scenery, try some of my other albums, such as Travel:
http://www.unicycling.com/ofoto/trips.htm
Grand Canyon is nice...

Gild,
These photos are fab. Just my kind of thing as I love the beach too.
They will all be added to my screen saver even if they don't make it
above my fireplace.
Thank you so much.

Thanks John,

I'll have a good look through the photos later and be in touch.

Judy Stoltzfus did a painting that has bears and foxes and rodents
riding unicycles in the forest. Then she had a bunch of poster like
prints made. I don't know how to contact her to get one. She hands
them out at the Moab Muni Fest. It's a nice print. I've got one framed
and hanging on the wall.

I would love to see it too - I won't be getting it for a week or two.
The artist is 'Henderson Cisz'
(http://www.tritongalleries.co.uk/showartist.htm?aid=13), who does a lot
of beach scenes (and now one with a uni...). ignore the prices on this
website, they're infinitely cheaper direct from him. - one of the
Parisian street scenes with a trials uni or 2 could look great.

Thanks for the website....great pictures.
Your picture sounds ideal to me. I would love to see a photo of it when
it's complete.

(1992, Quebec). Those were nice posters, worty of framing. I only got
one of the Unicon VI ones. They were posted all over Quebec city, but
the organizers didn't have any loose ones to sell! I had to snag one
from somewhere...
From Unicon III I brought home a small stack of the posters, which
featured several of my photographs. The organizers wanted pictures of
non-Japanese people to advertise the event. As it turned out, hardly
anyone pictured on the poster (which included a big track crowd scene
from Bowling Green, OH) actually went to that Unicon.
I may have one or two of those Unicon III posters left. They're about 22
x 30" (roughly) and in full color. I have given many away over the years
as MUni Weekend prizes or other things. If I have any left I might sell
them for $100 or so. Yup, serious collectors only!

John,
Any chance of us seeing a photo of them or is there a link on the web
anywhere showing the posters?

Wow, those are way cool! I notice he is in Michigan. Anyone you know? I
wonder where he gets his penchant for unicycles (and other stuff with
wheels)? His stuff to me looks like Cirque du Soleil without the budget
for fancy costumes and shiny props!
