Date of Event: June 10, 2010

What: Druid Cycles Ethnography

Who: Thor Bard and rest of shop

Where: Druid Cycles’ Shop

What happened:

Today did a bit of reorganization and helping out wherever I saw a chance. Definitely realized as well how closely Thor knows his community and the intimate connections he has with many of his customers. He knows who is  up to no good and who can be trusted.

Also for the website Thor had wanted Philip, his bicycle artist, to tell me what exactly he had painted on his Africa inspired bike.

Description: A pan African collection of artistic styles from varying regions. Including:

-        From the Kingdom of Efe he has included a variety of works – back fender

-        Nigerian woodcarvings ritual masks and Batik designs – back fender

-        Painted representations of bronze reliefs – see snake on lower bar of frame

-         Patterns taken from pottery designs of central Africa – also on bottom of frame

-        A number of Arabic and Moorish motifs

-        Egyptian sculpture representations of Nefertiti as well as hieroglyphics

-        A pelican and eagle painting taken from an Egyptian sarcophagus

-        Also on the back fender- Shamantic ritual representation from West Africa
