Hart & Huntington x David Lozeau: A Little Life in the Bones

David Lozeau’s skeletons have things to do. They ride motorcycles, play music, fall in love, and get into trouble. Spend a little time with his artwork and you start to recognize the people beneath the bones, their personalities, their passions, and the things that make being alive worthwhile.

That sense of life runs through the Hart & Huntington x David Lozeau collaboration. Bringing together his distinctive artwork and our roots in tattoo and motorcycle culture, the limited-edition collection feels right at home in the world of Ink Rock Moto. It’s available now in all Hart & Huntington shops and online.

The connection goes deeper than a shared appreciation for skulls and motorcycles. It starts with finding something that matters to you and making it your own.

Finding his way back to art

Before he became known for his expressive skeleton characters, David followed a path plenty of creative people will recognize. He grew up in New Hampshire, earned a degree in graphic design, and put his skills to work in commercial print, web, and video production. His own painting took a back seat.

A move to Southern California helped bring that part of his life back into focus. There, he began developing the visual world that would become his signature. His artist biography traces that return to painting and the personal connection he found in Día de los Muertos.

For David, the celebration offered a different way to think about loss: remembering loved ones through color, personality, and the lives they lived. It gave him a way to carry those memories forward.

That idea helps explain the energy in his work. His skeletons have expression and purpose. They’re caught up in familiar pursuits, with humor and affection worked into the details. Over time, he developed a style that brings that influence together with bold outlines and the storytelling feel of comics and graphic novels.

Common ground, full throttle

When H&H approached David about collaborating, the ideas came quickly. Motorcycles and motocross were subjects he already loved painting. The mechanical details, from the nuts and bolts to the machinery itself, gave him plenty to work with.

He wanted to bring Southern California motorcycle culture into the designs, with a tattoo influence running through them. For a brand built around Carey Hart’s connection to riding and tattooing, that was familiar ground.

David’s wider body of work already has a place for hot rods, old-school motorcycles, and the characters who inhabit that world. His Lowbrow artwork draws on that culture with a sense of humor and a clear affection for its machines.

The H&H collaboration gives those interests another place to live. Skeletal riders, motorcycle imagery, and distinctive lettering bring David’s personality into the collection while keeping the connection to Hart & Huntington unmistakable.

There’s a shared appreciation here for detail and individuality. Think about the choices that go into a motorcycle, a tattoo, or a painting. The overall impression gets your attention, but the smaller decisions make it personal. David’s work invites that closer look.

Leaving his mark in Nashville

The collaboration also brought David into our Nashville shop, where he put brush to wall.

His mural features an oversized skeletal hand gripping a tattoo machine above an H&H mark filled with skulls and bones. Cream-colored bone, blue-green flourishes, and red-and-black details bring his style into the space where our artists work.

For David, part of the point was making sure it felt hand-painted. He wanted the brushstrokes to show. He wanted people to discover the texture and realize someone had spent time creating the piece right there on the wall.

That feels especially fitting in a tattoo shop. Our artists know how much care goes into a line, how a small highlight changes a shape, and how individual decisions build toward a finished piece. David brought that same attention to the mural, leaving something visitors can stop and spend time with.

It also gives the collaboration a home beyond the clothing. In Nashville, his artwork becomes part of the shop itself. Across the collection, that creative connection travels with the people wearing it.

Make something that matters to you

David’s advice to aspiring artists is straightforward: enjoy making art, keep working at it, and give yourself room to improve. Before worrying about selling it or satisfying social media, remember what creating gives you.

It’s a thought that belongs in this story. His own path involved finding his way back to painting and discovering a subject that meant something personally. The style grew from there.

At H&H, we connect with that commitment to developing your craft and expressing who you are. It’s there in the artists working in our shops and the people who trust them with their ideas. It’s there in the riding culture that helped shape our brand. And it’s there in David’s artwork, right down to the brushstrokes.

The Hart & Huntington x David Lozeau collection brings those connections together in pieces you can make part of your own everyday life.
