End of the Road

Digital Painting by Niki Smith

End of The Road is about two long-time friends, two brothers, who start riding motorcycles and eagerly talk about taking trips together. This is what I imagined the final moment of one of their dream trips to be. It is meant to reflect a strengthened bond to each other, as well as their machines and to illustrate the peaceful, silent moments of reflection we often find ourselves embracing at the end of a long, challenging trip on two wheels. In this case, they spoke of riding from one end of the famed Route-66 to the other - starting their journey along the “Mother Road” in Chicago, Illinois and ending it near the Santa Monica Pier, in California.
