Welcome to the Artistic Biker's Webspace!

The Artistic Biker is me, Jonathan "Blade" Manning.
A treasure troll of a man, with hobbit feet and a sharp pointy head. You may see me traveling up and down the highways of Oklahoma looking for the next place to sketch, paint, sing, dance, write, photograph or simply meditate. I have begun a journey that once set upon, there is no turning back. You can share in my blunt force journey through the art world on my weekly U-stream broadcast
The Artistic Biker Live!

Art Journal Hefalumps and Henna

A couple of years ago, the Oklahoma City Zoo planned to update their elephant paddock.  While doing so, they sent the girls off to Tulsa so they could enjoy some  ”quality time”, and maybe they’d get a calf or two.  Last week, the new paddock was completed and the elephants came back to the OKC Zoo.  We made a special trip with the kids in the middle of the week to see them in their new home and I want to say, it’s fabulous.  It’s King Kong meets Jurassic Park.

Danja Lessor of Henna by Danja joined us in studio on The Artistic Biker Live! and demonstrated her Henna artwork for us, including how she mixes her henna from scratch.  Then she tatooed all of us, including emblazing “Daddy’s Girl 2″ on Girl2′s arm.  I used the henna to make the strip at the bottom of the journal page.
