El Tiburón de la Tierra

When I was last in Costa Rica, I bought this bike for $50.



Note rust and other such aesthetic malaise.


I knew something had to be done. This bike deserved better.

So I gathered my materials...


First step, masking.


Then, the edges.


Snack break!


Paint finished-- time for the lettering.




Y voila!


¡El Tiburón de la Tierra! (The Landshark.)

El Tiburón's motto: "Laugh now, Cry later."

Summer, this bike rocks. I've been terrible at emailing you. I'm glad I get to check out your blog now though! I miss you, and hope you're enjoying life.
