R. Black on scooter tour

Many long-time Scoot! readers will instantly recognize R.Black's work. Most recently, he illustrated the cover of our art issue #40. He has also done ads for scooter clubs in past issues. He has now combined much of his art into a book called Art de R. Black: Futura. He's embarked upon a cool cook tour where he rides his Vespa P200 from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area to San Diego for the Comic Con convention.

One of his stops was San Jose Vespa. Josh, Jon and I showed up to get books and support his cool trip. Here are some photos:

On his trusty steed!

Signing for the many folks who come to meet and greet.

If you are in the cities where he stops, make sure to say hello!
