Inspiring Artist: Shinya Kimur, Motorcycle God

There is no denying the zen-like qualities of this man. Perhaps I see it in the softness of his voice, or the delicacy and precision in his craft. The only surprising thing, it seems, is that this sense of tranquility and “at oneness with all things” comes from a machine many consider to be dangerous or even reckless.

Shinya Kimur is an artist. And his works of art are the motorcycles he builds.

I was immediately struck by the beauty of this short (in both the editing and the content). The love and devotion this man shows towards his motorcycles is something any artist would envy, but the spiritual nature with which his passion creates is something we all could learn from.
