Skulls, flames, and flaming skulls--and skulls with wings

Artist David Uhl's ballpoint pen drawing appears on pg 35 of HOG Magazine, Issue 12 

The imagery in this captivating drawing speaks to the human spirit so clearly as to require few if any words.  The skull represents mortality. Flames of hell threaten to consume that mortal in eternal damnation. Then comes the breath of Freedom in the form of a roaring Harley-Davidson Road King. With a mighty V-Twin engine the warhorse fights fire with fire as flames propel the mortal from death's grip, if only momentarily. Astride his warhorse the mortal flies with wings of an eagle above the howling winds of the open road. It's a good day to ride.
