AOK, Santa Fe

These suckers are without a doubt my favorite kind of autorack to paint.

Black Bull Tavern

I would have shot more time lapse but my back was turned on my camera for so long and I could not shake the fear that some passerby could just swipe it and be gone. It would be a stupid way to have a camera stolen.

Full moon on the line

It was so nice and bright that night. The next few pieces you will see uploaded here will be mostly red. I have a huge surplus of reds, blacks and whites. I over budgeted on the Havana Cultura paint order. Lucky for me it's a favorite color scheme of mine.

Havana Cultura

I was contacted by the makers of Havana Club rum to do some live painting for an event they were throwing in Sept. Ever since my voyage to Cuba I fully and completely endorse Havana Club rum, I still have an unopened 7 year old bottle in the kitchen. Anyway the first two sketches below were submitted, when I mentioned that the letters could be filled in black they of course had to see that as well. In the end, in true corporate fashion they felt it was not legible enough, so as requested I dumbed it down for them a bit. On a sunny day I would have really enjoyed myself, the Cuban music was good, i had a nice big canvas, Yet unfortunately all it did that day was rain nonstop. Barely a crowd of 30 at the event's peak and as any promoter who was involved would tell you, it was a complete failure and in my opinion a huge waste of money. Except for the money used to pay me. Because I worked so hard all day with no umbrella, in a complete downpour. And I didn't even have one mojito, rum and coke or anything.


Here is the 'more legible' sketch that finally got approved.



This is what the sketch I brought ended up looking like at the end of it all.
It literally never stopped raining the whole time. How aerosol even managed to adhere to a dripping wet canvas is way beyond me.

Little Portugal

Due to the fact that no one else who was involved with this wall has finished yet I am only posting my work.

There she goes again...



A neighbor who lived around the corner commissioned this galactic cluster of nebulae and supernovas for her garage door. It was a great opportunity to empty out the 30 or so quarter full scrap cans that have piled up this summer. Kept all the full ones that the commission paid for.
The other side of that garage.

Full Metal Jackets

I need to bring the weed whacker next time.

This deserves a caption of some form I just cant think of what to say about it really.
I was happy to catch this '06 Jero on the line. This guy used to paint tons of freights when i started out.
