Viva Kidnievel (Evel Knievel) by Craig Davison

An accompanying sketch was also released, revealing Craig’s artistic thinking before he painted the larger version: 'Viva Kidnievel - Sketch'

Hopping aboard an instantly recognisable Raleigh Chopper bike and wearing a matching red scrambler helmet (probably his older brother’s), our hero pulls a wheelie and emulates his idol Evel Knievel as he races down the street.

Attempting to 'jump' off the curb or over a small plank of wood, he regardless will win the accolades of his friends & bystanders alike!

Nice touch by Craig giving him a tablecloth tied around his neck for Knievel’s cape, and I love the two colour t-shirt, split at the knees jeans and overly long laces - a real 1970s kid!
