DRAGONS

With scales that shimmer, like wheels in motion
The dragon takes to the road with fierce devotion
Its wings beat fast, like pedals that turn
As it races along, with a fiery burn
The road stretches out before its eyes
Like a dragon's tail that twists and winds
Through mountains and valleys, it takes the lead
A majestic sight for all to heed
And with each mile, the dragon gains speed
Like a champion cyclist with strength and creed
It pushes ahead to reach the end
A true dragon rider, a legend to defend.


This artwork illustrates Asia dragon can be likened to a cyclist, both embodying strength, agility, and a sense of awe-inspiring power. Whether flying through the air or racing along a winding road, both the dragon and the cyclist are truly a sight to behold.

The figure of each cyclist is created using a single, continuous brush stroke, similar to the one-stroke technique used in Chinese calligraphy which moves with the same fluidity and grace as dragons. Adapting to changes in terrain and shifting seamlessly from one gear to the next.
