Painting a safe...

Here's the blank canvas...

 Pattern taped to the safe...

 This is what a pattern gives me after I "pounce" it...

Fancy...

Replica toy...

I painted and lettered this for a customer of mine in-time for Christmas. He had me do one for him, and one for his brother. It duplicates a truck that their dad had in the 1940's.

Autorama 2017...

I contacted Autorama after the first of the year, wondering if they would be interested in having my van in the show... I figured it was a long shot, but you never know until you ask.

 

To my surprise they accepted it! I was so excited! I had a ton of fun, and got a lot of great exposure.

 

Opening day and I pulled Gary's box and letter out to display it... I shared so many conversations about Gary. I'm very thankful for him sharing his craft with me.

 Here are a few cars from the show. There were over 800 vehicles there!

Remembering a friend...

I had some fun with paint and brush. Gary Wills of Pioneer Signs has lettered the Summerfield Twp. Fire Department's trucks since the late '60's. I was the first guy they called after he passed. I am so proud to carry on this craft. I will always be grateful to my awesome teacher! This is all hand painted...

A fun safe for a great customer.

Safes are always fun. Why have a boring "normal" safe when you can make it fun?  

 This is in the home of one of my good customers...
