SEMA is My Mecca!

This is a big week for me, I was just informed that I received a hefty scholarship from the SEMA scholarship program!  For those of you who don't know what SEMA is you probably don't know what a car is, and therefor must have stumbled upon my site my mistake.  Just kidding. What does SEMA stand for? The acronym SEMA stands for Specialty Equipment Market Association.  Basically it's the largest automotive aftermarket show in the world, and it's held in Las Vegas every year.  They showcase everything that can be put on or in a car to make it custom.  It is seriously my Mecca so to speak.   

Me and Chip Foose- 3 Hours of waiting in line to meet him!

My signed pic from the top pic got stolen later that day, so I tracked Chip down the next day!

Me an Arlen Ness- world Famous Bike Builder

These are a couple of my Idols and inspirations, Chip Foose, and Arlen Ness.  I met them at the 2010 SEMA show.  I waited for hours just to meet Chip, I drew him a little sketch of my '67 Chevy pickup, he love it.   I was roaming around and saw Arlen Ness and had to bother him for a pic as well.  Arlen has been on many bike building shows.  I plan on attending SEMA this coming Fall!

This semester I'm learning Maya, it is very intensive, but fun.  This is my latest piece, I drew this a few months ago, and have it posted.  This is an original design.  Enjoy!
