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.

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.
