From the pen of Rudy Navarro........

When people talk about illustrators for the various custom bike magazines, usually names like Mann, Robinson, Duggan, and even Bode are sure to be mentioned. But, very seldom do you hear the name Navarro.

Rudy Navarro's main body of work was used in Supercycle magazine, and more than likely his illustrations were used to open up, or set the mood for the magazine's fiction stories. Maybe Navarro isn't mentioned because his art was of the darker, grittier, surreal biker world than the others previously named. Always done in pen and ink, and more often than not dark and complex in their execution. Whenever I looked at one of his works, I often got the feeling that Navarro was sitting in the middle of an opium den as he sketched away. Here's a couple quick examples of Rudy Navarro's work for you.....
