Art from Lampert and Gamstetter

Taliah Lampert, whose work has been featured in Dirt Rag for years now, has been noticed by the NYTimes (hat tip to Velorution).

Speaking of art, remember those great industry portraits that used to be in BRAIN? You know, the ones that accompanied the profiles of industry personalities? Well turns out that former editor of BRAIN, Michael Gamstetter is quite an artist. In addition to writing for Cycle Sport Magazine, Michael is actively pursuing his art. You can see more of his bicycle industry portraits in his online gallery . Subjects include Ben Serotta, Wayne Lumpkin, Maurice Tierney, Lennard Zinn (pictured) and Sky Yaeger.

It'd be great to get together a list of bicycle art sources and links. If you know of any, go ahead and leave a comment or email me.

Thanks for the plug. Just want to say it's an honor to be included in an article with Ms. Lampert. I've been a fan of her work for a long time.

I also wanted to let your readers know that I have done paintings of racers, not just industry folk, such as Eddy Merckx, Raymond Poulidor, Fausto Coppi, Lance Armstrong and Paola Pezzo. These can be seen on my web site (www.houseofbamboo.net). I'm hoping to start offering some of these as prints in the near future.

Thanks again.

Michael
