  Jane McMillan-Kologiski
 By Moen

As 2544 (last time I checked the counter) of you have found out there are some pretty good Indian drawings available from Jane in Florida. I'm probably responsible for 50 of those "hits" as I went to her site a lot of times to look at, not only the Indian drawings before buying one of each, but also the great period photos and the cool junk art!

Jane McMillan-Kologiski is a self-taught artist and has (sort of) Indian blood in her veins; her grandfather was an Indian dealer/hillclimber in Charleston, IL. Jane and her husband are currently saving for their first Indian (riding Guzzis, BSAs and Triumphs in the meantime), and Jane's brother has a very nice collection of Indians - among them a very rare 1941 Chief three-wheeler military prototype (using parts from a 1937 Plymouth in the transmission) and, judging from the photo to the right of here, one of the coolest Chief bobbers I have seen in a long time.

So far there are three prints of Indian drawings in Jane's portfolio, as well as a couple of non-Indian ones (BSA and Moto Guzzi). All are printed on 80 pound acid free archival paper (very classy!), and cost only US$15 + $4 shipping inside the US. International shipping charges by request; it isn't expensive, though. My three prints cost just $5 for air mail to Denmark, rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube. 

Custom drawings, from your photos, are now available. Contact Jane for prices and time at janemac@gte.net or phone 1-727-525-6109. Mailing address: Bird at the Wheel, 4925 44th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33709.

Erle 'Pop' Armstrong.


Laconia races 1941. The date was recently confirmed by Mike Baer (yes, grandson of Butch Baer!). This drawing is from a photo by Jimmy Slater, who worked at the factory.


Cool bobber and rare Traffic Car.
