The Singaporean creative director runs 100 Copies -- an art studio which only releases 100 copies of all its posters. The Cyclist's Empire is a tribute to the Empire State Building. Seven types of [bicycle tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-bicycle-1) were used to create a cycle-made version of the iconic building. The print captures the essence of New York City by marring a well-known structure with the cyclist lifestyle. This print was meant to celebrate [New York's ever-growing cyclist culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thecyclingcollective) from the daily commuter to the delivery boy. It's the ideal gift for a true New York lover who doesn't want another 'I love NY' t-shirt. You better hurry up and get one as prints are going fast. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cycling-inspired Art:** Opportunity to create unique and limited edition art pieces inspired by cycling culture. - **Cityscape Art:** Opportunity to create innovative and visually appealing artwork featuring iconic city landmarks. - **Limited Edition Prints:** Opportunity to tap into the demand for exclusive and collectible art prints. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to incorporate cycling and cityscape themes into their work. - **Gift and Souvenir:** Opportunity to offer distinctive and meaningful gifts for New York enthusiasts that go beyond traditional souvenirs. - **Cycling and Urban Culture:** Opportunity to cater to the growing demand for products and experiences that celebrate cycling and urban lifestyles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Cycling Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-together.md) - [Picturesque Cyclist Exploration Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-ride.md) - [Collaborative Artistic Bicycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-carson.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Compact Collaborative City Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speed-s-bar-bike.md) - [Limited-Edition Two-Speed Folding Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twospeed-folding-bike.md) - [Nightsky-Inspired Tonal Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-one.md) - [Pride-Celebrating Bike Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-artist-series.md) - [NYC-Inspired Structural Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc.md)
