If you love cartoons and happen to be in the Boston...

If you love cartoons (I certainly do!) and happen to be in the Boston, MA/Cambridge, MA area next week, make sure you check out BOSTOONS - Boston International Humor Festival. All BOSTOONS activities take place Sept. 9-12 at Cambridge College, Hall 152, 1000 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA. This is this area's first festival of this type with entries from all over the world. No motorcycles but loads of 'toons and humor.

Sea of Bikes - I took this pic at the Rhinebeck, NY Antique meet in 2008. Missed meet the past 2 years but will catch next one. One of the better antique meets.

The second...

The second of two full-color centerfolds I did for the Motorcyclist's Post back in 2009 to introduce some of the BAA characters to the world. Howlena's bike was completely made up around a v-twin engine. Bandit is based on our real-life Bandit (a cool Shiba Inu.) The blue boots on his paws come from the blue boots we put on him on those freezing winter nights when he needs to go out.

Shifta is one of the understated characters in the book but I really like him. His bike looks like a Norton because I had two Nortons and loved them. Mine did not have a side shift or mouse-trap sissy bar.

Zig and Zag are Linda's favorites. Zig's bike has a '59 Caddy taillight because I love '59 Caddy taillights! He went through a lot of bananas to earn that banana patch. Zag's bike is faster. How do I know?...because I drew him and I say so...LOL!

Tribute to...

My tribute tattoo to two forces in my life. Keeps them in my thoughts.

Another Bessie...

Going through my stuff and came across this rare pic of Bessie not wearing her MC gear.

We got the first ...

We got the first copies today and they are beautiful! Should have them up on site for ordering right after Labor Day. I think kids will love it and am thrilled to be able to share motorcycling with them!

Bessie Stringfield...

I got a chance to meet Bessie later in her life and was fortunate to be able call her a true friend. She was person who I admired and respected. My Linda loved her and so did I. Here is a picture of her she had given to me of her on one of her many Harley's. A truely remarkable woman...you owe it to yourself to Google Bessie and read about her unique place in the world of motorcycling.

The first of two full-color centerfolds I did for the Motorcyclist's Post back in 2009 to introduce some of the BAA characters to the world. Akorn had yet to get his nut-shell helmet and I cleaned up Trash's tattoo for the book. I used my brother's '86 FLHTC as a model for Slick's dresser. That's the factory color. I put Roag on a V-8 because V-8 motorcycles fascinate me and what better engine for a ridin' rhino than a "Charger".

Everyone has...

Everyone has a mentor or someone who impacts you during your life in a major way. My mentor rode off into the sunset many moons ago. He started me cartooning and still remains a part of my life. Dick Gately aka Father "T" was my mentor but more importantly he was a true friend. Dick G....Thanks and RIP.

Counting down!...

This week or next week at the very latest! We (Lin and I) are seriously excited!

It ain't just about the guys...

Howlena and Prowla from Book 1. They ride with the guys and ain't afraid to take the lead.

GT Charlie from Book 2 and Trash from Book 1...

GT Charlie from Book 2 and Trash from Book 1. These guys are some serious ridin' critters who just love their motorcycles.

From the Motorcyclist's Post...

I did this 'toon for the Motorcyclist's Post. A pet peeve of mine...cameras that are police, judge and jury and 1/2 the fines go to a private vendor who sets up the cameras, the light interval times and decides questionable violations.

They don't get...

I took this pic at the 2nd annual Larz Anderson Classic American Motorcycle Day. It's a 113 cubic inch S&S v-twin motor in a 2004 Swift Punisher. This motor has some serious polishing and chrome. They don't get sweeter or cleaner than this.

Scary Rider...

Scary Rider is a new character I've created...a rockin', ridin' ghost that's a bit different from those "friendly" ghosts out there.

Back in the...

Me back in the late seventies... my '67 Norton stuffed in a Matchless frame. I added Norton P11 scrambler tank, new handlebars, headlight holders, highway bar/pegs, no front fender, K&N's, oil cooler and custom seat. On the "fun" 1 to 10 scale...this bike was a solid 12!

Bandit on a custom chopper...

Our dog Bandit bookin' down the road on a cool Fall evening astride his custom chopper. I added a winter background, some lights and a bag of toys and used this one for the Xmas cards we send out. Every year, Bandit is on a different bike for the cards. FTR...the real Bandit is a Shiba Inu.

The first Bikers are Animals...

©Paul Jamiol

This was done for a postcard for my Classic Motorcycle Calendar © back in the early 1990's. Bikers are Animals wasn't even a thought back then. I just like the idea of a couple of animals riding on a motorcycle.

The motorcycle was my old '86 Guzzi Lemans with a Dr. John's 2 into 1 exhaust with Supertrapp muffler. The '86 had a 16" front wheel with integrated brakes. I bought it new and rode it for 15 years or until my back gave out from leaning forward. First thing I did was add Corbin seat. Stock seat was like riding on a 2x4. This bike gave me some really kick-butt riding miles.

This is pic of actual Guzzi...
