Over the spread of his life, Keith Haring applied his crawling babies and masterful linework onto a multitude of surfaces, and for the first time in history, the vehicles are all together in one place: The world renowned Petersen Auto Museum. It was a perfect setting for artists Nicolai Sclater aka Ornamental Conifer and Deus co-founder Carby Tuckwell to nerd out upon. Nico, who has made his mark in the art world in no insignificant way, made damned sure he was the first in line as the curtains of the exhibit were pulled.
The Petersen Museum has a terrific membership program and does things on a regular basis to support the motoring community in Los Angeles, such as monthly cruise-ins and other special events. They recently displayed a few of our Deus Ex Machina custom motorcycles built here at the Emporium Of Postmodern Activities by Michael Woolaway and we look forward to working with the museum more in 2017. Stay tuned!
The Unconventional Canvases of Keith Haring exhibit is open to the public on December 17 for a limited time. Well worth the visit!

Some bikes offer more than just speed—they bring style, heritage, and a touch of Mediterranean, even in the dead of winter. For those who appreciate life in the slow(er) lane, a Bel-Air style, nipped, tucked, and rolled custom Vespa 300 SuperSport is the perfect way to get by.
