Itso Kotavuopio.

Itso Kotavuopio of Tampere, Finland has created an example of chopper art that would be equally at home on the road or mounted on a pedestal in New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art .Isto's inspiration came from his early experiences with death and rebirth. In small towns in Finland, old, ornate horse-drawn hearses are still commonplace. Most of the ideas for the fantastic handmade details on the bike were taken from these vintage-1800s carriages. You can read the full story of Itso's build here.

It's actually Isto Kotavuopio, not Itso...
