Shan Jiang has always focused on bikes in his illustrations
"I used to go everywhere by bike as a teenager, even if the destination was on the other side of the city. I enjoy feeling the breeze on my face, the air and even rain!"
His new book of illustrations shows his signature bicycle exploring unknown worlds and dystopian landscapes with a feline friend
Shan Jiang has continuously created cover designs for The Ride Journal from 2008 to 2016, always using his distinctive style
"The story is about a cat travelling around the world and meeting all different types of bicycles, set in crazy, dystopian landscapes”
There is also a stunning coloured-in section in the book for colouring inspiration
Comic books are Shan's main influence: "I’m a big fan of comics, especially the work of Otomo Katsuhiro, Paul Kirchner, Matsumoto Taiyo, Jean Giraud and Igarashi Daisuke.”
As you colour don’t forget to look out for the bicycle’s cute feline companion (who appears in every scene)
