jeff koons




Art superstar Jeff Koons has landed another hit, and designed his first yacht. The"Guilty", owned by art collector Dakis Joannou, features an extravagant artistic take by the US artist on the exterior.

"Of course, Sarah Morris' text painting "Guilty" hangs on the wall of one bedroom - bought after the yacht was named. Owner and major art collector Dakis Joannou simply had to have it!

The exterior design was created by international art star Jeff Koons, famous for his basketball in perspex case, three-storey high "Puppy" made of flowers, and the "Made in Heaven" erotic series of photographs with Italian ex-wife and porn-star-member-of-parliament La Cicciolina.

Schwinn Red Devil

















This picture is mental! The car is allowing the bike to slipstream
through the clean air. (anyone seen the Theo Boss Vid?) Check out
the tiny window for him to look out of.



































The Schwinn Red Devil was ridden by Alfred Letourner to a
record speed of 108.92 M.P.H on may 17, 1941.
Oh and the gear is a 252 inches. Perfect for Leeds I hear.
