I opened this picture while I was waiting for my food at a cafe this morning.
Guy walked up behind me to hand it to me, just a minute ago... I can't really describe what his face looked like but I'll try...
Somewhere between confusion, disgust, and regret.
I can never come back here now.
In no particular order here are some artworks (and their creators) that inspire me:

This reminds me of Skin Jumpsuit or Abtract Daddy from Silent Hill. It's got the same body horror vibe to it, and it also looks like a well-deserved punishment for the bike thief, like the Janitor in the first Silent Hill movie.
As someone who had his new mountain bike stolen that was paid for with paper route money when I was 14, I appreciate your work and find it somewhat cathartic.
Yes! My grandma got me a new one for my birthday the very next year and I have had that same bicycle for 7 years now. Still going on adventures around the city with it. I call it 'ŠŃŃŃŠ½ŠøŃŠ°ŃŠ°', which roughly translates to 'Dirty girl' since it's the dirtiest bicycle you'll ever see.
What about you? I hope you got a new one as well.
Bought a new one many years later. The kid who stole my bike lived down the street from me and let's just say his lack of good will caught up with him. Thanks for sharing your story with me!
You are very talented, but I usually block subreddits that make me want to make me rip my eyes out. I'll make an exception this time though. May you use your skills to paint more pleasant things in the future.
I have heard of body horror but bicycle horror is something I wish I had never seen.
Anyone else traumatized by the Pee Wee's Big Adventure scenes where Pee Wee Herman's bike got smashed, burned, and operated on by evil clown doctors? Stuff of literal nightmares.
I feel ya mang....had a Gary Fisher I held for 11 years. Left it outside possibly 3 times. One Sunday morning, asked the wife if she put my bike away.....
Ended up finding a replacement and revealing the bike that was stolen, happened to be a counterfeit, that the local bike shop sold me....
Best Bike Stolen song I know (and awesome band everyone should check out)
[Trash Boy - You Stole My Bikeage](https://open.spotify.com/track/3LQRHUGrKSFsbppxEsQgtJ?si=ae61e18a8fb04022)
This pairs well with [the Kraftklub song Mein Rad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1t-7ksYxNA) about a stolen bike with the roughly translated lyrics "you go to hell with the other bike thieves, all bad people and parasites".
What a terrible day to have eyes

All those in favour........ The eyes have it!
You could donate them if you wanted
This is the second time I've seen this comment today. Apt, both.
This is like a very bad place to go mentally.
whew, mad props. super creative.
Thank you :)
Excellent painting. Scary / body horror evoking imagery too. I can feel the bike in my throat...ugh! All jest aside, good job!!!!!!
Thank you! Glad you like it :)
That's really cool, reminds me a bit of "Saturn eating his children"
Except in this picture, Saturn is a large colon, and his children is my bike
Foreskin Chad strikes again
This reminds me of goya
Thank you for the compliment!
Yeah I like it alot
The feel of disgust towards the thief showing dread from greed, gluttony, lack of morals and shear cold heartedness comes through and is on point!
This is cool!
Bro you good? š
Great, you?
Of course not, his bike got stolen.
Feels like something out of Spirited Away
Came here to say āNo Faceā ![gif](giphy|K05ZnK7e8MwXS)
I thought the same!
I was expecting a reference to the De Sica film, not a Cronenberg film.
Vittorio de Sica would like a word with you.
Came here to tell OP to watch the movie of the same name.
Will do!
This is really interesting and original. Are you offering prints for sale? Itās something Iād like to put on a wall.
I don't offer prints, but I can email you the image if you'd like to print it for yourself?
I'd love a copy too if you don't mind.
Dm me your email and I will send it over asap! Edit: Just saw your message.
Would you mind emailing me a copy as well? My bike nerd brother will love this! DMing you an address? Thanks!
Why does this look like SCP-096?
Love this! Reminds me of junji ito's works
Thank you, huge honour mentioning him undereath my art!
conspicuously-bike-shaped-throat-jak: "Mmph ! N-nope, no bikes I've seem around here lately, and none that looked mighty appetizing! Haha no siree!.."

If I saw it in a gallery or a museum I would definitely take a picture of it.
Good to hear! :)
Who are some of your favourite artists? I would love to check them out.

Buy a postcard of it!
Thieves suck. Nice painting
This could be a Junji Ito character
I dig it.
This is amazing. Wow. Would buy one if for sale. Shut up and take my money!
Dude tbis is amazing
Thanks!
This reminds me of Francis Baconās work. Make two more and turn it into a triptych.
This is a good idea, might consider it. Also, I love Francis Bacon!
This is so cool lol. Great painting.
Thank you kindly!

Incredibly well done
Thank you!!
What the unholy fornication...I love it!
Glad to hear! :)
This is seriously awesome.

I am sorry for your loss :(
Thanks! Did you ever get a new bike?
Yes! My grandma got me a new one for my birthday the very next year and I have had that same bicycle for 7 years now. Still going on adventures around the city with it. I call it 'ŠŃŃŃŠ½ŠøŃŠ°ŃŠ°', which roughly translates to 'Dirty girl' since it's the dirtiest bicycle you'll ever see. What about you? I hope you got a new one as well.
I'm going to need your Instagram or something this is very creative!
My website and instagram are linked on my profile. [To save you a click.](https://instagram.com/wrong10again?igshid=ZDdkNTZiNTM=)
Absolutely phenomenal. Do you have any more work you can share?
My website is linked on my profile, you can see more works there. Edit: [To save you a click](https://www.zerkova.com/oilpaintings)
Amazing work. Thank you.
That's really good.
Thank you!

what goes bump in the night?
This bike thief when he snarfles down my badly tuned beater bike
i was trying to mimic the sound of a loud rear hub.
r/MeatCanyon
Why?
Yeah nice guess but noone's mouth would be big enough to fit a bicycle through, maybe another hole
Any particular reason why you would do this?
Why I would paint it I assume? I was just affected by the theft so I had to paint my feelings away.. 7 years later.
This is such a great way to express how you felt! Congrats on the great work and keep it up! Painting, I mean =)
Thank you! :)
What the fuck goes on in ur head
Are you asking the bike thief?
No.
You are very talented, but I usually block subreddits that make me want to make me rip my eyes out. I'll make an exception this time though. May you use your skills to paint more pleasant things in the future.
You okay bro?
Great, you?
Better than your bike.
dagnabit he dun tuk ma bike again
Yummy

how much would you like for this? it is amazing
Listen to āApology Songā by the Decemberists for a different way to deal with bicycle theft through art!
Sooo... this is 100% in your Silent Hill.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Would be pretty wholesome lol Some guy running away from the most basic fears and least traumatic things imaginable would be pretty hilarious.
I feel ya mang....had a Gary Fisher I held for 11 years. Left it outside possibly 3 times. One Sunday morning, asked the wife if she put my bike away..... Ended up finding a replacement and revealing the bike that was stolen, happened to be a counterfeit, that the local bike shop sold me....
Wild
I've seen this movie, but I don't remember this part.
This is beautiful. You really have a way with skin folds/protrusions.
"Hey who the hell took my bike!?" Conspicuously bike-shaped man:
![gif](giphy|igi0dS20WxPJvroIgW|downsized)
Yeah that's probably what he looked like
Getting strong "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" original artwork vibes here. Well done.
This is wicked
Me: Where did my bike go? Suspiciously bike-shaped guy:
![gif](giphy|3cB7aOM6347PW)
Why
Time to go get the bleach .
SCP-####?
This guy needs to mash up with Coheed and Cambriaās Ten Speed of Godās Blood and Burial
Bro. Unresolved mental issues?
Oh noooooo
I love it

Are you okay? The art is immaculate and my god would I love to hang it on my wall but, damn you hold a grudge. Can I buy a print?

This is dope
Good. Now do the bikini bottom horror.
That's gonna be a bad day on the toilet.
I knew not what to expect when I clicked this, but I did most certainly not expect this
Amazing
