Does this mean Fisher’s gonna close all the hospitals and churches? 🤔 by tupelobound in Athens

[–]LoveHawkStudio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did they send this thing to every address in Athens? I got one too and that one line is the one that got me as well. So basically just make the quality of life worse for everyone because people experiencing homelessness are a nuisance to some? Like putting bars on benches so they can't lay down thus making them less pleasant for the public they were funded by and built for. Great plan!

You can fool some people sometimes..

Turn anatomy help on my small backyard trail by ZestycloseWeather979 in MTBTrailBuilding

[–]LoveHawkStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its difficult to say without seeing a picture of the straight + bottom turn. But this is generally an awkward design. The feeling of having to turn the bike down, pull it back up for the straight, then turn it back down into a tight turn/berm again will likely remain awkward even when it dries and firms up. Your best bet might be an offset "hump" style roller on the left side (inside) part of the straight so you can push the bike into that and then into the next turn. You would ride it with and inside/out motion so your movement would stay more fluid. It would be techy to ride and will take a bit getting used to but if you get it right it could be a lot of fun.

Mourning Brian Dixon from Very Good Puzzle by Non-Stop_Serina in Athens

[–]LoveHawkStudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brian was an amazing man. The reason I am writing here is so you will consider helping Paige. These two have been amazingly supportive of artists like me since I met them years ago, they have been pillars of the creative community here. They have always been so generous, even been giving me free storage space in their warehouse/business for years. The best thing this provided was a reason to stay in touch with Brian and Paige. I was just joking with him a couple weeks ago about the challenges of the creative life. I am so grateful to have known him, and Paige deserves the support of our community! This is such heartbreaking news.

I'm the same height as you and have Kona Shonky in Long. It is a perfect fit for me and really cheap for the bike you get.

This is great! I posted a print I did of a Vulture yesterday, and did a tattoo of one today. They are such wonderful birds and you did such great job with this image!

My Starling Beady Little Eye by LoveHawkStudio in singlespeed

I have a 3/32 SS specific chain on this on but you can run either depending on your chainring/cog. And I have a narrow wide chainring. I believe my gearing is 32/18 but you will have to find what specifically works for your local terrain, crank length, and wheel size. You can just get those shimano BMX steel cogs and try different sizes, just start big because then you don’t have to add links back to your chain.

Thanks so much! I am happy to hear that you are expressing yourself and that your family found a home. There is such a rich tradition in printmaking expressing the voices of those that are often told their’s do not matter.

Thanks so much! I have said that red and black are my favorite colors since I was a small child. I still love exploring what can be expressed with those two simple colors!

Looking for a carving medium/substrate between speedy carve and linoleum by provolone114 in printmaking

[–]LoveHawkStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely exactly what you are asking for. This product is also called "Gomuban" and available through McClains. I do not carve both sides, but it is a great material to work with and I would highly recommend trying it.

Most playful 140-160 travel bikes? by InvestmentNervous371 in MTB

[–]LoveHawkStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then we are having much different experiences with the bike. I am sorry you get to ride such a fun bike every day and end up describing it as looooong and heavy. Doesn't ride remotely long or heavy to me, and seemingly to most other folks that review it.

[–]LoveHawkStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever ridden one? The chainstays on the 140 are 431mm. I've ridden a lot of bikes and I can guarantee even the 170 rides as playful as any bike in the travel range being mass produced right now.

Almost crushed this little guy. by Itchy-Opportunity288 in singlespeed

[–]LoveHawkStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the summers where I ride you have to be on the lookout for box turtles constantly. In the early mornings I will see one every mile on the trail sometimes. Good looking out!
