Bicycle Painting

Bob Ziller, 2012

The community bike painting displayed here was created during an Artist Residency at Pittsburgh’s Children’s Museum. Bob applied acrylic paint to bicycle tires with a small roller, and dozens of kids lined up and rode the bicycles (and a tricycle!) across the canvas with painted tires. It was a lot of fun!
