U of M cart...

This was for a customer in Ann Arbor...


I started with a dark blue nose, then painted the yellow. The customer was very happy.

Some classy pinstripes...

Breast Cancer Awarness truck...

A customer of mine wanted to put together a pretty special truck. He has a fleet of about 30 trucks and this one carries a message with it.


A body shop painted the fenders, and the rest of it is vinyl that I did.

Sexy Pheasant Farm...

These murals are hand painted and the lettering is vinyl.

Fire Engine...

I am so glad I was able to work on this truck. The Fire Chief in Ottawa Lake Michigan wanted to do something special in honor of the fallen firefighters from 9/11. We agreed on a layout and I started work.
The first time I saw the truck in a parade was in August 2002, and it was very humbling. There was all kinds of commotion and excitement around because of the parade... until this truck came past. You could have heard a pin drop on that busy road, the only noise was the low rumble of the fire engine.
The Fire Chief talked to the treasurer of Ottawa Lake and deferred his own pay for the year to pay for the mural and lettering. (Ottawa Lake is a rural community in south eastern Michigan with a volunteer fire department.)
