Tickle It by Lyndell Dean Wolff Bakersfield Run by Lyndell Dean Wolff (2024) Berdoo Salute by Lyndell Dean Wolff (2024) What first caught my eye, naturally, was his series of paintings inspired by Bill Ray’s famous 1965 photographs* of the Hells Angels and other California MCs, like Beautiful Buzzard of Berdoo, seen above.
