There biker/artist Tom Fugle took an interest in his artwork, and with Mann's permission, showed a photo of the painting "Hollywood Run" to Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, an artist and custom car painter, who was then the publisher of one of the first custom motorcycle magazines, Choppers. In 1963, Mann brought some of his artwork to the Kansas City Custom Car Show. He became immersed in biker culture and motorcycles supplanted cars and pin-up girls in his artwork. After high school, he left Kansas City and settled in California where he became interested in motorcycles. His first passion was custom cars and his first job was as an automobile painter. Many of his images captured the ‘ Easyrider’ ethos – speed, the open road, long flowing hair – freedom." Most of his works were designed for the motorcycle industry, especially for motorcycle magazines.Ī native of Kansas City, Missouri, Mann began drawing and painting at an early age. In the words of an anthropologist studying biker culture in New Zealand, "Mann’s paintings set ‘outlaw’ Harley chopper motorcycles against surreal backgrounds, and distorted skylines, colourful images that celebrated the chopper motorcycle and the freedom of the open road. Choppers have been built based on the bikes first imagined in a David Mann painting. Called "the biker world's artist-in-residence," his images are ubiquitous in biker clubhouses and garages, on motorcycle gas tanks, tattoos, and on T-shirts and other memorabilia associated with biker culture.
