Feb 10 | If
you're more fortunate than this "Web Geek", you may well be visiting
the MCN show at EXCEL this weekend. Then you will have hopefully
dropped by our stand to see Ian showing off the new Valentino image. Officially called "Rossi 09 Rain", it pays homage to Valentino winning his 9th World Championship in 2009, on a very wet track. We think the spray on your face only adds to the smell and the sound that screams at you from Steve's brilliant artwork. See it here I have also uploaded the NEW  canvasses of Rossi 09, Kevin Schwantz, Noriuki Haga, James Toseland, and the previously sold out image of Joey Dunlop.see them all here | ||||||||||
| Jan 10 | Roaring into a new decade, Steve was battening down the hatches for the big freeze
like the rest of us. But in stead of pulling up the duvet, he was
sharpening his pencils to complete his latest release. A much awaited
composition of Velentino Rossi winning his 9th World Championship in 2009. We won't have much longer to wait though, as it is due to be launched at the MCN London motorcycle show in February. Other releases to look out for are the collections Joey Dunlop, and Kevin Schwantz images benefiting from the SLIMPICS' cropped down, pumped up, attention grabbing treatment. | ||||||||||

AUG 09 | Steve's Donington Moto GP Blog 3 days , 9 hours sleep, £1950 for Charity, Colin Edwards, the ultimate compliment from Valentino Rossi, and two tired but very happy bunnies. Wow!

Bike Show Firsts Steve and Ian are having a blast at the NEC, with hundreds of enthusiastic visitors to the stand. Not only are they getting to meet the fans, but they have had the stars call by too. James Toseland is entertaining the crowds with his band on a few of the days (see bike show web site for details), but he has still found time out of his schedule to put in an appearance at SteveWhyman.com Another welcome visitor was the amazing young rising star Scott Redding. Scott is the subject of a new painting by Steve, and has kindly signed a number of copies that are available to buy. The image of Scott wasn't the only work shown for the first time at the Show. In testimony to an incredible season, a 2008 image of the legend Valentino Rossi has been causing quite a stir. The show continues until Sunday 7th Dec, so please call by Stand 3J45 in Hall 3a and say hi. We'd love to see you.  |

If
you want Schwantz.......... Ian had a great time at the Stafford Classic Bike Show last week. On top of meeting lots of Steve Whyman enthusiasts, he also got to see some amazing Japanese Classics. The icing on the cake however, was getting a personal audience with guest of honour Kevin Schwantz. "It was a real joy to meet such a legend. Not just your usual day at the office" said Ian. Kevin kindly agreed to sign a few canvas prints of Steve's pencil image. Please get in touch if you would like the opportunity to own one of these very special limited edition prints. |

News / Toseland prints signed and dedicated to you! Just thought I would let you know what we've been up to in the last couple of months. Well, we all had a bit of a break to get away from this British weather, which is why the web site hasn't changed much recently. We've just got back from the World Superbikes at Donington, and again, a totally rain soaked event! Crowd numbers were well down, but for those of you who came to see us in the Exhibition Centre and had a look at our display, thanks. It's always good to see you and get some feedback from what you've bought in the past, or what you would like to see in the future. Incidentally, speaking of Donington, you've obviously all heard about the plans to take the F1 circus (yeah, circus is a good word) there in 2010. Well, if you go to their website, you will see plans of the proposed layout for the new circuit and facilities. Apparently, this will not disrupt the staging of the Moto GP or SBK in 2009. In a couple of weeks time we should be meeting with James Toseland and getting some of the prints and canvasses signed, so if you're interested in him personalising one for you, let us know. We were due to have some Nori Haga prints signed at Donington, but because he had such a dismal weekend, I don't think signing our stuff was high on his "to do" list!! Ian will be at the BMF Tail End rally in a couple of weeks and at the Classic Show in Stafford in mid October, so go along and have a chat with him. We will have a full blown stand at the NEC Bike Show at the end of November, where we will unveil some of the new stuff. I am presently working on a new colour Rossi - which looks awesome - and this should be followed by a Troy Bayliss image to celebrate his career. Hopefully there we be some other "eye popping" artwork in time for the NEC. As Simon, our web builder and designer is also back from his hols, the site should start to expand a bit, with the inclusion of more archive material, stories, and the pricing and shopping cart should soon appear. Bookmark the site, and keep popping back to see what's new. Steve |

New Image If you made it to Donnington you may have caught a glimpse of Steve's new picture of James Toseland. Well now he has produced the finishing touches and has unvailed it for all to see. This was a suitably challanging picture to produce, which is captures James in his first MotoGP race on the floodlit track at Qatar. Read about Steve's challenge and look at this blistering image in detail by clicking here. |

Donnington
2008 Many thanks to all the people who came to see us in the Exhibition Centre at the Donington GP and said so many good things about the art and the display. As this is a new venture between myself and Ian it was important to get the message over to you the customer how much we appreciate your business and how committed we are to giving you the best motorcycle art that you can buy. It was good to see some regular customers and meet new ones. The only problem was, that because we were so busy we didn't get a chance to speak with everyone. A great event, with a really good vibe about the place. We'll see you again soon, in the meantime, keep visiting the site. Steve |

| March 08 | Latest Work This month Steve's newest pencil drawing is unveiled. Another piece reaffirming Steve's fascination with the brilliant Valentino Rossi, it celebrates his 2007 season. As ever the delicate structure, subtlety and detail of the work is testament to Steve's title of The Pencil King. The nuances of this piece are difficult to replicate on a web page, but more information and a detailed look at this image is available by clicking here. |

| March 08 | The
Partnership Develops Having
worked together for some time providing a sales outlet for Steve's work
