Artist creates “Sharpie Ducati”

When artist Jody Whitsell bought a white Arai helmet, her son suggested she "Sharpie it". So Jody set to work with the permanent marker pen, creating a unique and personalised helmet.

The result proved to be hugely poplar, with other riders requesting commissions.

Jody then purchased a cosmetically damaged Ducati Monster - which she decided to paint white and give the "Sharpie" treatment! 20 pens and 75 hours work later, the bike is a work of art, covered in images that Jody says 'define her' such as Homer Simpson, Stewie from Family Guy and her personal favorite, Daffy Duck.

Jody said of her creation "When I tell people I drew it by hand with a 'Magic Marker', they're speechless!

Thats the wonderful thing about Ducatis,the old uns are simply/basically beautiful,the new ones are just plain ugly and no matter how much attention is paid to detailing there still just plain ugly.
