2007 Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic

2007 Harley Davison FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic
This project was by far the hardest one to complete.  It tested me mentally, physically and had me questioning if this type of work is really what I want to be doing.  But now that it's done, it is one of the coolest, most detailed pieces I have have ever had the honor of completing! It was overall a challenging but very fun piece that I learned a ton from!  Plus I got my new iMac and finished the Harley using it, so the learning curve from PC to Mac, and Photoshop CS3 to CS5 had a little to do with the frustration...

Transformers Bumblebee Old and New - 1977 Camaro, and 2010 Camaro

New Camaro Rendering
Double Bumbebee


Here it is, both Bumblebee Camaro's face to face!  There's a lot to look at with both generations of robot there and all, so if anyone want's a version without the Robots, that's do-able!  This was a fun piece.

2010 Camaro Bumblee Edition - Transformers

Bumblebee Camaro

Newer painting, same idea!

I don't know what to say about this one, it's too cool to talk about...just stare....   I did this for a fellow Camaro/Transformers fan, Marty-MJ.  His actual car has a 575 horse power Engine, Soon to be 750 HP! I just got drool on the keyboard.  Prints of this one are available to anyone else interested in owning this Killer custom piece for the garage, or Bumblebee loving kid!  I'll also be doing a special edition poster featuring the old 1977 Bumblebee Camaro facing this 2010 Camaro.  Stay Tuned!

1971 Chevelle SS

1971 Chevelle 502 SS
I LOVE CHEVELLES!  They are just pure muscle, and this thing shows that for sure!  I have been doing all kinds of styles and views lately, and i've gotta say, the side view is just classic!  This was done for a new client, Phil Dore.  I wasn't sure which style he wanted, so I did this in an inbetween cartoony and realistic style. Hope you like it Phil!

1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am - "Smokey and the Bandit Edition"

'77 Trans Am - Smokey and the Bandit
    I've Always loved this car, so I decided to really pay tribute to it but pulling out all the stops when it came to painting techniques, perspective, and overall quality.  This was done for Shawn Mann, It's got a 6.3L Stroker under the hood with larger Year One Snowflake Rims.  I'm putting this thing on my "To Own Someday" list.

1979 Pro Street Camaro Z28!

'79 Camaro VS. '79 Mustang
Paul Week's Drag Camaro Z28!  If anyone is wondering why I havn't posted anything new in like a week, here's why!  It took much longer than my usual pieces.  But it was well worth it!  My Dad had this idea of a Camaro just ripping the pavement out, and going so fast that the paint is flying off, awesome idea Dad!  Seriously, who would want a '79 Mustang when the Camaro's styling is so much better, sleek, and muscular?

1979 Camaro Z28 Mirage

1979 Camaro Z28

 I've had this idea in my head for a while and I know my fans are getting restless for something other than a side view. I intentionally made the paint become non existant as if it's still being drawn, going so fast it's coming off, or as if the car is a mirage.  Camaro guys might notice the '80, 81 grill with the '79 fender vent.  I know the backroung needs work, I just did it quickly so I can get on to more client cars!  Overall I'm diggin this one.  This car also goes along with my slogan, "I Turn Dreams Into Real Things."
