Born in Kansas City, United States, David Mann was a California graphic artist whose work became deeply intertwined with biker culture. His early passion for custom cars led him to work as an automobile painter before his interests shifted toward motorcycles. This immersion in the lifestyle saw his imagery become ubiquitous, appearing on motorcycle gas tanks, T-shirts, tattoos, and within biker clubhouses. His art was frequently commissioned by the motorcycle industry, most notably appearing in Easyriders magazine, where his work served as the publication's centerpiece for many years.
Mann's artistic themes often explored the relationship between the rider and their environment. His compositions frequently featured motorcycles paired with diverse figures, ranging from kindred spirits and mythic personas like medieval knights to social antagonists. He also explored surrealist motifs involving skulls, flames, and tattoos. In recognition of his contribution to the culture, he was inducted into the motorcycle Hall of Fame.
The work of David Mann is characterized by several recurring narrative structures. He often depicted the biker alongside a complementary figure, such as a trucker or a ghostly, mythic character from the past, creating a sense of the biker as a modern incarnation of a legendary persona. Other works presented a contrast between the biker and social antagonists, such as hostile motorists or upper-class figures. He also utilized female figures in various roles, sometimes as supernatural observers and sometimes as riders themselves.
