My grandparents gave me pens, pencils, markers, crayons, colored pencils and a stack of paper when I would visit them as a child. I would be entertained for hours. My grandfather gave me an airbrush when I was around the age of 12. Also around that time my dad, through some connections at work, made it possible for me to meet Troy Lee. I did not really understand how great an opportunity it was to meet someone who did what I always wanted to do. I had very few questions and simply looked around the shop in awe. The one thing I do remember from that encounter was Mr. Lee handing me a pin striping brush and saying,
"Practice."
I have practicing since that day. I took airbrush classes at Coast Airbrush with Craig Fraser and Noah. I study every paint job in great detail when I attend car shows. My work has been featured at SEMA for four of the last five years. Now, close to the age of 30, I have experience working at collision repair shops, a hot rod shop, and more than three years working for myself. I have painted helmets, sand rails, trucks, golf carts, Yamaha Rhinos, choppers, street bikes, guitars, golf clubs, skateboards -- basically anything that looks cool and goes fast.
This will be the blog you can follow to see awesome pictures of what I have painted and lots of in progress pictures of the steps needed to create some of the artwork.
