Description

Art and design are at the center of everything we do at Indie Ridge.

"The Risky Collection" is the beginning of our collaboration with world-renowned graffiti artist Kelly "RISK" Gravel. Together, we created artwork that you can wear as a mask, or hang on your wall as a limited-run, hand-embellished giclee print.

From Artwork to Motorcycle Masks, back to Artwork

Using some of RISKs commonly used graphic elements, we created new artwork that could be worn as one of Indie Ridges classic motorcycle masks.

We then took those art files and turned them into a limited-run of prints. For all four designs, we created a corresponding print.

After creating the giclee prints, RISK went through all the prints and hand-embellished, and signed each one. Every print is one-of-a-kind ? printed on archival, acid-free heavyweight paper.

"The 1911"

RISK has used incorporated his version of "The 1911" into his artwork for years. Based on the .45 caliber Springfield Armory stainless steel 1911, Risk often uses a variety of colored overlays to juxtapose one of Americas classic pistols with bright, colorful graffiti.

During our collaboration, we decided a simpler approach to this artwork would work well. We used sleekness of the 1911 on a black mask, with a single red spray paint shot.

Check out the hand-painted print of the "The 1911" below.

"Be Polite..."

A ubiquitous phrase by RISK, "Politely Go F*ck Yourself" has been a constant theme in many of his large-scale installation pieces. These large-scale, often mixed-media installations sell for well into the 5-figures.

During our collaboration, we decided to put this "polite suggestion" onto a version of one of our classic masks "The American".

Check out the hand-painted print of the "Be Polite" below.

"Meanest SOB"

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil: For I am the meanest son of a b*itch in the valley."

Another staple in RISKs large-scale art installations, this phrase is often paired with butterflies and bright colors. Like "Be Polite...", the juxtaposition of aggression with bright and cheerful colors or imagery makes his art so interesting. This motif is often attempted, but is rarely executed well. We just thought it would look awesome on a mask.

"Fleur De Lis"

The Fleur De Lis is a commonly used symbol, dating back to the 17th century. Of course RISK, took emblem that originally represented French nobility and put crossbones behind it. We like it better this way.

This design, which weve deemed the "Risk De Lis", is the main graphic element in Risk Rock Studios, RISKs onsite design/print studio. We loved this graphic as soon as we saw it and decided to turn it into a pattern, with a single red symbol.
