Martin Squires -

Martin Squires has an obsession with motor powered transport. A major part of his practise is sketching at motoring events.

The results of a days or weekends sketching are used to inform further research and writing on the history of motorcycles. Regular articles are published in 'The Classic Motorcycle’ magazine and Hargerty.com

This obsession started through a family connection with Morgan Three Wheelers and various British Motorcycles.

Combining this obsession with a natural talent for sketching and painting Martin has developed a distinctive style which has evolved through a combination of reportage sketching and studio work.

What Is A Silodrome?

The traditional “Silodrome” was a carnival sideshow attraction also called the “Wall of Death." You may have seen them at county fairs – the vertical velodromes were originally built from old grain silos, leading to the name "silo-drome."
