Unfortunately, it's a really overcast day today - the pics don't do them justice - especially the blues!!!!!!! Just need to get it warmer now so we can use them as intended:).....

So I'm down in Maryland visiting my brother and brought the bike down so we could mount the plastics. You my friend, are a GENIUS. I've been visiting his garage every hour just to look at them and again this morning, the first thing I did was wake up and walk to the garage. THANK YOU to you and Chris (extreme graphicologist)!!!!!

I looked at this bike at VIR this weekend and agree, it looks fantastic. Subtle details make a big difference.

Havn't had much time to post up on the forums lately, so I just wanted to drop a super-quick update.

The spring and early summer have been very very busy, and I have spent most of my time in the paint booth, and with an airbrush or paint gun in my hand. Despite my lack of posting, we are producing new projects every day, sometimes several times a day.

AGAIN, if I am not able to respond as quickly as you like, I greatly apologize. The nature of my work really makes it difficult to be on the computer or phone as much as I'd like to be. For many hours of the day, I have a paint respirator mask and suit on, and am in a loud, windy paint booth. Even when I'm not on a tight deadline in the paint booth, we have loud air-compressors at the shop, and I am often airbrushing, pinstripping, or have some kind of brush in my hand. Latex gloves don't work too well on the iphone touch-screen.

I have tried to fight off having a full-time receptionist or office manager, as that cost would probably eventually trickle into the paint work and be passed along, but we will probably be trying this part time, just to provide more rapid communication on the small stuff (tracking numbers, product costs ect).

I great appreciate every and all opportunities to work with you guys, and would love to be able to discuss all project ideas with you. Again, if I can't respond right away, please just understand I probably have 10 things in my hand, 2 people on hold on the phone, and a FedEx driver at the front door.
I know its a PIA sometimes from the client perspective, but if you can sometimes send a follow-up message, or call back the next day ect, I will do my best to make more office hours.

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT!


Also, a shameless plug for the facebook business page. I could really use any and all "likes" for my page. I am making an effort to put more project updates and pics on there. Thanks:D

Here is a very small sampling of recent works...

For the BMW fans, something a little different. A drag bike for Valvoline:

We went to great lengths for painstaking detail and authenticity on this one. I even custom fabricated the seat pads, and gold mesh air intake screens on the nose and tail. Kruzel worked his magic on the decals...
