Some illustrators have the great ability to improve the mood of our days. In fact, a graphic or a drawing is enough to arouse a positive mood or simply, bring a smile. The illustrations allow you to daydream and cut out moments of beauty at any time: especially if it comes to the world of cycling. There is nothing better than taking refuge on a rainy autumn day in the colorful images of the illustrations on the world of cycling made by artists who share a passion for two wheels and give their very personal interpretation.

Happy Cycling by Dan Marshall

Happy Cycling by Dan Marshall

There are those who only see the bicycle as a means of transport and those who instead see it as a true friend. This is the case with Dan Marshall, an Australian illustrator who has also worked for Facebook. In a beautiful illustration for sale on Pedalare Shop, Marshall imagined the bike as a smiling face, where the wheels become eyes and half of a third wheel becomes a smiling mouth. When combined with a yellow background reminiscent of the joy of riding under a spring sun, it's game on!

Illustration for the "Che Impresa" exhibition by Riccardo Guasco

Riccardo Guasco is a Piedmontese illustrator who draws inspiration for his work from the posters of the 1930s and the style of Picasso, Depero, and Cubism. He has worked with magazines such as the New Yorker, Los Angeles Magazine and Vogue as well as brands such as Eni, Diesel, Longines, Greenpeace and Emergency. On the occasion of the exhibition "Che Impresa", the artist made a beautiful illustration that tells the magic of the first bike rides of a child, together with their dad.

Poster Pedalar by Ale Giorgini

Pedalar is a project that involves the major Brazilian cities and raises public awareness to use the bike to reduce CO2 emissions. The event's poster for 2014 was produced by a very talented Italian illustrator: Ale Giorgini. Originally from Vicenza, he began drawing as a child and never stopped. He has collaborated with brands such as Jeep, Puma, Armani, and Emirates, as well as exhibiting in galleries around the world. The poster he made for the 2014 Pedalar edition is stunning and represents different types of cyclists on a city background in a decidedly pop style.

Uphill by Eliza Southwood

Eliza Southwood started her career as an architect but continued in the field of illustration making posters and posters for the Tour de France. Her work is unmistakable and she is very specialized in two wheels. For this reason her illustrations on the world of cycling are so fascinating and in particular Uphill, which represents a colorful forest in which five little cyclists whizz by.
