In doing this version of Moby, the Scooter of the future. I wanted to give him a classic Mod look. So I tried to make the lines smooth and curvy, and the addition of the iconic R.A.F. target just adds to the retro-future design (Jasper Johns I think based most of his work on it:) ). Together with the chequed strip, 60's pop art. Brigit Riley etc.

If you haven't already, check out The Rightside, and the front and back. :)

I love the RAF sign ..I never thought to put it in ..will do next time around.. incidently what colour did you imagine Moby to be from back in the days when it was black and white? hope you think I chose the right colours:arc:

As for the paint job, I think I always had in mind to do it in keeping with the scooter classic colours. Powder blue, or cream.

Your blues fine, and the red flashes work. Everbody has thier own take on things. (look at Dredds helmets :) )

I think he'd be blue keeping with the Jonah and the Whale Theme but as long as thes a tone of blue thats fine with me whatever add ons such as red bits whatever can be altered as Jonahs constantly having him resprayed and modified .. needs to be really as that scooter takes a bit of a battering every time he takes it for a spin:arc:

Maybe I should write an origin story for Moby one day :arc:

The flag on the back is a great touch.
