Indian Motorcycle has announced the FTR 1200 Artist Series, a limited-edition selection of five tank covers designed by five cutting-edge, urban artists. They will be available from select dealers around the country starting July 2019.

The artists in this series include Steve Caballero, Adam Turman, RISK, D*Face, and ThankYouX.

Caballero is a skateboarding pioneer, but he’s also a dedicated rider and customizer. He even manages to create a lot of art, much of it inspired by hot-rod culture. That’s the source of inspiration for “Cab Dragon,” the design he contributes to the Artist Series.

Turman got his start in Minneapolis, doing posters for local bands. He gained notoriety for large murals and installations across the Midwest, drawing his inspiration from comics and heavy metal art. These sources of inspiration are clearly evident in the grim reaper and phoenix he created for his contribution to the Artist Series, “Rising from the Ashes.”

RISK is a graffiti-style originator from Southern California. He stands as one of the first artists to use billboards, freight trains, and overpasses in the area as canvasses for his work. He was a founding member of the West Coast Artists graffiti crew but has since moved his work into more traditional realms, with showings in galleries and museums all over the world. “A New Day” pays homage to his street art roots.

Getting his start creating stickers and posters that went up all over London, D*Face has since become a leading figure in contemporary street art. He takes inspiration from skateboarding culture, early graffiti culture, and pop art among other sources. “The Devil Within” is his contribution to the Artist Series.

ThankYouX is another innovative street artist, who started his journey spray-painting stencils around Los Angeles to pay respect to Andy Warhol. He’s since gone on to become a notorious figure in modern abstract design, and his approach to street art has gained him recognition from art collectors and dealers around the world. He imparts that abstract aesthetic in his Artist Series cover, “Meant to Tell You.”
