Christian Iddon Oxford Tag Triumph leaping up Cadwell mountain in BSB Supersport race 2011.

This commission was a present from Gemma Bott to her boyfriend Christain Iddon, who races for Oxford Tag Triumph in the BSB Supersport championships.

Christian is pictured airbourne as he leaps up Cadwell Park Mountain!, not surprising as a former British Supermoto Champion and schoolboy motocrosser!.

Richard Peck Farleigh VMXDN Commission

Recently completed this commission for Hilary Peck as a surprise Christmas present for her husband Richard, who wrote:

Dear Rob

I wanted to let you know how delighted I am with the painting of me racing at the Farleigh Castle Vets Des Nations that you did for me as a present arranged (secretly) by my wife and two sons.

When a man reaches a certain age he ceases to be surprised by gifts, but this one was, still is and will continue to be truly fantastic. I smile every time I look and it and probably always will as it has two of my favourite things, my family and motocross, all in one painting.

By the way it was very kind of you to make my wheelie bigger than one I would ever do!

Thanks again

Richard Peck

Alan Bott's dad racing his kart at Burtonwood Aerodrome, Warrington.

Really enjoyed this b/w monotone painting of Alan Bott’s dad racing his kart at Burtonwood aerodrome back in the 1960, 1970′s, capturing the expression on his face and the old style cars of spectators in the background.

Eric Geboers Lifetime Achievement Painting Motocross of Nations- France

Eric Geboers Lifetime tribute Painting presented at Motocross of Nations , France.

Youthstream President Giuseppe Luongo commissioned English artist Rob Kinsey www.robkinsey.com to paint a Lifetime Achievement painting for 5 time World Champion Eric Geboers, known as “Mr 875″, the first rider to win World titles in the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc World Motocross Championships!

Youngest of  brothers, Eric was nicknamed “The Kid” during his racing career, which saw him win a total of 5 world titles.  His unique riding style and passion was adored by his massive fan club and admired by fans worldwide.

For the past few years Mr Luongo has commissioned Professional Artist Rob Kinsey to  paint commemorative artwork, to honour the legacy of former champions!

During an emotional ceremony at the 2010 MXoN in Colorado, icon’s Danny “Magoo” Chandler USA and Australian Andrew McFarlane were honoured, their memories captured forever on canvas!

In addition to his outstanding Motocross Palmares, Eric Geboers also promotes the Belgian MXGP at Lommel and will organise next year’s prestigious 2012 Motocross of Nations at Lommel.

The Eric Geboers “Mr 875″ canvas was perhap’s Rob’s most challenging commission yet!, involving hours of research on Eric G, finding three individual images that would work together, set against the background of the flag of Belgium.  Rob chose the main central image from legendary French Motocross photographer Pat Boulland. The 125cc & 500cc images were actually based from Black/white photo’s, involved researching correct colours, sponsor logo’s etc.

Rob would like to thank the following people for their help & inspiration with this commission: My wife Jo, Photographer Pat Bouland, Author Terry Good”Legendary Motocross Bikes” book, DC RacerX and finally Youthstream Org. for this prestigious commission.

The Kinsey Report, British Motocross Grand prix, Matterley Basin, Winchester

Sorry guys, this ain’t about sexual habits, but does contain pics of the gorgeous Monster girls.  This past weekend the world’s top riders descended on Matterley Basin, Winchester for the British Motocross Grand Prix on a superb new circuit.  I went down to watch the event, deliver a painting to Fox Europe and meet with Giuseppe Luongo, President of Youthstream, to discuss future commissions. Local promoter Steve Dixon had done a fantastic job with the circuit, many riders said was the best of the season!

Arriving Friday to sign up for  media credentials and make an appointment to see Giuseppe in  his VIP suite for the following day. The place was buzzing, Monster Energy station was pumping out music and running a charity casino, enjoyed by riders and fans alike, as the Monster girls ran a free bar.

After practice I met with Giuseppe Luongo to discuss a marker visual of a painting tribute to a former world champion to be presented at the MXoN. He also commissioned several more paintings and said I am now the “Official Artist of Youthstream and the World Motocross Championships!” ,an accolade I graciously accepted! We discussed the future of motocross, moving into new markets like Asia, China and South America and  his almost 30 years of promoting events.
