Art Vespa – Imagine Vespa
I’m not good in drawing. I really do admire those who are gifted with this kind of talent. But thanks to the computer and a little PhotoShop, I can now do some graphics, layouts or manipulate and edit images to express whatever creativity I have in me.
Below is an example of my computer art:
The doodle and layout is not my original but a spinoff of an existing one. If it looks vagely familiar, it is because the artwork is based on the poster layout of one docu-movie about a famous artist. Wanna see the original artwork?
Yes, it is John Lennon’s doodle as used in the poster art and album cover (OST)
For “my” Vespa doodle, all I had to do was lifted everything from John Lennon’s original doodle. I simply manipulated the images by utilizing the ‘stretch’, ‘skew’, ‘distort’ and ‘rotate’ fuctions in PhotoShop so I could adopt some semblance of a Vespa somehow. As you may have noticed, I used John’s eyes for the wheels; his hair for the legshield and front mudguard; rotated his nose to serve as the seat & cowl; and I over-stretched the lips and make it the handle bar.
I really had fun doing this and am personally pleased with the result. I decided to make ‘Art Vespa‘ a regular occurence in my blog to “showcase” the things I do when I have nothing better to do. 
Art Attack!

Galing. Didn’t know you used the original doodle.
Hi John,
Your Vespa drawing’s terrific. I’d like to use it on a site I’m considering “vespadokter.nl” a DIY resource for repair and maintenance of Vespas by their owners here in Holland.
May I have your permission?
Thanks,
