Welcome to An Artist's Life

Welcome to what I hope will be an amazing ride in the life of a professional sometimes struggling artist. With this blogsite and the combination of my website maybe I can mesh the two together. But I haven't been very loyal to my own site, so I am hoping that this will make it easier to accomplish more of a presence. With a variety of services, I am called in many different directions- from working with school systems and individual schools to corporate clients to individuals and homeowners. No medium is off limits.... so here we go !






May 23- Hogwild of Temple.net-
I am back again working on the box truck for Temple's Hogwild Motorcycle. It will used for all kinds of advertising for myself and for HogWild of course. It is supposed to coincide with the theme that the store centers around- Old West and everything Motorcycles. The store and gathering place is remodeling to resemble an old west time period and a place for those needing parts or service to just sitting down after or before a ride and enjoying the company and a few beverages. It is supposed to look like an old woody car with a little information. Check out the hog's head. They actually have a stuffed one inside the bldg. I have recently worked on the outside of the building to transform it also and renewed their logo for better appeal. What do you think ?




 
















May 19 and 20- Coca-Cola Ideation- Sparkling Innovation Summit - I joined Steve Stanley, Lin Workman , Kevin Williams (without Muley the Mule), Gregg Hughes, and Trevor Hawkins- as illustrators for some creative thinking at the Melia Hotel in Atlanta. 
It was good fun to hangout and do some quick draw ! 
It always good to be a part of a group of artists that have the same interests and to meet new ones. You should check out their work when convenient. We are all so different yet somehow so same.  Hotel was elegant and our hosts of course do nothing short of superb ! Thanks again Steve, Keith and John !





May 2 and 3 -  New Again Resurfacing-  I never thought about painting on a cast iron tub before but why not? Since I had the chance with Glenn Grimm and his company, I went for it. I used my automotive paints and airbrush and replicated the San Jose Sharks logo for his son Thomas. The company uses the tub for display for tradeshows and for advertising.  They are also for sale - located in Villa Rica at 770-456-2806. They resurfacing bathtubs, countertops and do carpet cleaning.






April 11- 1998 Jeep Wrangler with White Tiger- Airbrush
I am partnering with Ken Speers Body and Paint ( 404-425-0525) for my base coats and clear coats and together with produced this beautiful black hood on a refurbished 1998 Jeep Wrangler. The artwork is a White Bengal Tiger ripping through the metal. The idea was to make the tiger white and a part of the jeep but with blue piercing eyes. You can see the metal as it has a shine and is torn or ripped along the side of the tiger opening. It was beautiful but it was sold ( and I don't have the name of the new owner- uggghh)
