In 2008, Sergeant First Class Scott Smith was killed while detonating a bomb in Iraq. To honor his legacy, his brother Shawn set up a scholarship in his name and hosts an annual motorcycle fundraising ride. To promote the 2016 ride, we helped Shawn bring together Scott’s legacy of bravery with his love of motorcycles – by painting his portrait using only materials from his bike, which had been left untouched since his death.
