Pimp My Lincoln Navigator...

This photo is of a Navigator I painted about 5 years ago. The owner told me to go crazy with the paint work and that he wanted it to turn heads and win awards. I painted blue real fire coming off the front, lowrider tape fades on the upper half, beveled metal tribal with rivets, woodgrain, granite, and checkers. The best part is that there are 36 pinup girls ghosted in the red, most of them naked. 
   The first show that the owner entered the Navigator was the NYC Funk Master Flex All Star Car Show, and it won best paint. Pretty good.

1 Shot Mini-Graphics...

These are some graphics for motorcycles done completely with 1 Shot and brushes. This is the type of custom paint I commonly do at bike rallies. I really enjoy these types of projects because they are relatively fast, simple, and fun to do.

"Tramp" lettering...

Tramp Warner, who is one of my good friends, and artistic influences, asked me to design him a graffiti/lowrider style lettering logo. This is the inked sketch I did. Tramp is one of my favorite pinstripers and custom painters, as well as a good guy who I always look forward to hanging out with. It was an honor to be asked to create some art for him.

Wheels Ad...

I painted this Honda Civic that's owned by my good friend and base coat/clear coat guy back east. It received a lot of attention and was featured in this magazine ad for a wheel company. It was also featured at the Hot Import Nights and SEMA shows the same year. Whoever created the ad did some poor photoshopping because the reflection of the model is of her back, not her front which would be correct...who cares.

Tattoo Shop Sign...

I painted this sign for a friend who owns a tattoo shop back east. It's difficult to see in the photo, but the outline of the letters spelling "deposits" are engine turned silver leaf.

More Graf Murals at the New Black Widow...

...the basic mural work is done at the new shop, but I'm sure they will have me do some airbrush work in the front offices as soon as the renovating is finished...

Black Widow Customs New Shop Graf Murals...

...my friends at Black Widow Customs are moving their shop to a new and larger location. But before they move in to the new garage, they had me paint some graffiti murals on the walls to add some style to the joint. Above is a photo of the new Montana paint cans I used for the first time, I will never use anything else again! Below are two before-and-after pics of the main wall. It's so big that I couldn't fit it all in the shot, but I will be posting many more photos of the walls in the following days...

Biomechanical Audi Hood...

My friend wanted the hood of his Audi painted with a biomechanical style, so I based it in silver, airbrushed the graphics in black, then sprayed it with rootbeer candy to match other sections of the car. He liked it very much.

Infamous graffiti wall...


Here's a portion of the wall graffiti I did a while ago at the Infamous Choppers garage. My favorite part is the little hot rod in the lower left hand corner. It was all done with spray paint

Photography...

I have always had a interest in photography, but never pursued it seriously. I enjoy taking photos when the opportunity arrises, and for now it will remain just a hobby. 
I captured this image a long time ago during my first trip to Las Vegas, and is still one of my favorite photos I've taken.
