New artwork...

So the first picture is a skate deck I did for my buddy Courtney Cliffords daughter Zoie and the second is some new artwork I did for the Volksrod Shops new website!

Chopper tank for Colluci Customs...

This is a chopper tank I striped for Colluci Customs. The stripes were buried under a ton of clear and they really seem to pop out!

New "old" sign for my buddies chopper shop...

So this is something a little different. I distressed a panel and the pinstriping but I left the gold leaf shiny and nice. It adds some cool texture...Hope you like it Tony!

Having fun with paint!

I finished up the second table top for the art gallery show "Art skills and pinup thrills" and then I did a skateboard deck for my buddy Ryan...

Stiping a table top for an art gallery exhibit...

My buddy Eric builds some pretty amazing tables and other furniture out of old car parts and he was asked to put some of his stuff in an upcoming art exhibit at the Wall Art Gallery and he contacted me to stripe the tabletops for his display. This is the first one I did and I will post more as soon as they are finished!

New skatedeck...

Here is a new skatedeck I finished today. It's painted black with Gold, Crimson and Ivory stripes. I'm going to an all air cooled Volkswagen show tomorrow so I will post more pics soon!

My kid loves some Chef Boyardee...

Barrett Jackson artwork!!!

I was asked to do some stripe design work for an upcoming t shirt project for Barrett Jackson auctions! I am super excited to be a part of this project and honored that they chose me to do it! Thank you so much...here is a shot of the first shirt. The large design is the back of the shirt and the smaller one will go on the front.

A panel for the talented miss Shelby Johnson...(aka SHMAJO)

This is a panel I did as a trade with fellow artist Shelby Johnson also known as Shmajo. I did some grind work on an aluminum panel and then did a rainbow effect using House of Kolor candies. For the lettering I used green varigated gold leaf and for the stripes I used a custom mix of lime green and light blue.
Thanks for looking!

Two really cool bikes...

I have been busy as of lately and haven't updated this as much as I should but here are some of my most recent jobs...the Black metric chopper was built by Tony Colluci of Colluci Customs and features Rose Pink and Baby Blue stripes and the Honda Goldwing trike belongs to Dave Davis, a retired military vet that I have a tremendous amount of respect for. They were both super fun jobs to do and I appreciate both...and for good measure I included a picture of my beautiful daughter Lailah having a blast with Skip a Sock whom she LOVES! Thanks for perusing my ramblings! :)
