Painter Trina Merry transforms the buff bodies of athletes into human motorcycles that go from zero to sexy in no time.
Using hypoallergenic body paint, the San Francisco-based artist knows how to rework the old cliche of a hot chick on a hot bike.
“Everyone has seen the pictures of scantily clad women next to motorbikes and cars, and it can look a bit trashy,” Terry says. “I wanted to take the idea of a beautiful woman and the motorbike and turn it on its head by making the bike from the bodies of the models.”

When they’re ready, Merry fits them together like puzzle pieces to create a living sculpture that blurs the lines of reality.
