“Stricken” Gets a Partner For East Coast Biker Magazine

“Stricken” was chosen by the artist that brought it to life for a one of a kind photo shoot. Scott Avery and Jonathan Pantaleon have a history with “Stricken”, they both had a hand in creating the serpent. Scott Avery hand formed the sheet metal for “Stricken” and when it was completed, decided that it had taken the shape of a King Cobra. Together Jonathan Pantaleon and Scott came up with the Cobra themed paint scheme. Jonathan went to work designing the artwork and graphics layout being careful to have only suggestions of  a Cobra and not to “over doit”. The result of Jonathan’s many hours airbrushing the tinwork is nothing less than spectacular!

East Coast Biker Magazine’s Publisher, Norm Keller approached Jonathan Pantaleon with the idea to airbrush a model to match the artwork that he had created for “Stricken”. So the scene was set, Jonathan would get his airbrush tuned up and go to work replicating the scales and graphics to match “Stricken”. Norm provided the photography work and put together the following pages for the August 2009 online issue on eastcoastbiker.net
