59 Cadillac

The all time best fin car is a 59 cadillac , a few years back while at the Gasoline art show in El Segundo I took pictures of this Cadi and recently decided to paint it. 16"x32" oil on canvas

Lucy and Viola!

Lucy as many should know is my son Dylan's 66 Ford and Viola is or course the coolest panhead to ever exist! I figured what is cooler then a father and son calibration of vehicles to paint. This is what i came up with. 16"x 32" oil on canvas

Salinas Boyz Cole Foster

While at this years 10TH Annual Indian Larrys Block party in NYC, I was lucky enough to meet up with Cole Foster (my brother from another mother)and snap a couple good pictures of his Panhead. With those photos I had enough reference to paint this 4'x 2' oil of this incredible bike. Then while at the 10th Annual David Mann Chopperfest in Ventura Ca. I was able to meet with Cole again and share the painting with him. There is something cool about 10th annual events!

DAVID MANN 10TH ANNUAL CHOPPER FEST

First off let me thank chopperfest and big dave for having this great show and invite, also special thanks to the great artists chris callen, darren mckeag, seth lebohwitz, kayla koeune and george the painter for letting me sit in with them to show and create our art! This show was one ive been wanting to attend for such a long time . The show was full of earths coolest bikes and of course people! it was great seeing some of west coast friends such as cole foster,lisa and duane ballard, slim! (who bay far the coolest kid on the west coast), big nick who i assume is a west cost guy although he sounds like a new yorka and many others! etc etc etc... and it was an absolute honor meeting David Manns wife Jacquie and his family. I was blown away when they came by to see my art! hope to see you all again soon!

Garage shots and Viola is almost alive again!

Got to see my son Jason in Indiana and then my wife Cindy and Colin in Dallas Texas, A big thanks to Cody and Nancy (havent seen them in over 22 years) for the beer and food in Texas and to Rick "RC" for a great night of laughs in Carolina ! and to those who gave me shit 3 weeks ago for getting a streetglide you can kiss my ass it's already got 5000 miles on it!

Marys at the altar!

Tommy granger has place mary at the altar in " The church of whats happening" what an honor! thanks Tom and Tuuli!

Rest Easy English Don!

English Don has passed away today. He was a good friend to me and will be missed by many across the world! this picture (Andy Hoffer,Don and myself)is when Don got back to the states and we all did his run thru the NYC visiting paul cox and bobby seeger's indian larry motorcycle. This was a great day for all of us and a day we will never forget! I would often talk Don on the phone and or text message about motorcycles, rock and roll and more often then not about the Queens Park Rangers english football club. since he came to the states and moved west and all around he lost contact with how they were doing. so i would update him as i knew. Don, one of the Bayonet Brothes was a key player in the east coast chopper scene and created so many cool choppers with the "taxi" being the most famous. One conversation i will always look back and laugh about , was don telling me he was going to sell the Taxi and buy himself a new liver, i smile at him and said ," shovels aint worth that much" we both laughed! i still owe you that tattoo Don and will miss your conversations greatly! RIP English Don! If you dont know who English Don is , pay tribute to him and google "English Don", or "Bayonet Brothers" he is legendary!
