AWESOME! We'll be tuned in and turned on! Nice web site, Mike, first time I have seen it!

Posted by Terry Whynott (Member # 1622) on :
Who knows when we'll get to see it up here.
I just wanted to say, Mike, that your website is the most amazing website I've ever seen! Your work has always blown me away, but now seeing it through that incredible website makes it even better! I don't do that much web surfing, and have never seen a flash site like that before. Really cool! Posted by Mike Lavallee (Member # 320) on :
thanks for the compliments on the site, the background changes periodically to give the site a fresh look every once and a while. we are still working on it weekly. mike Posted by Dave Draper (Member # 102) on :
Saw the show, awesome, and the best part was watching Mike describe how he thought the design should flow out on the car.
We are proud of you, Mike! Posted by Joe Rees (Member # 211) on :
Ditto, And you finally got a speaking part! I know that exposure had to raise your stock - and the job was stellar. Painter of the Stars!

Very nice Mike.
I generally don't watch Monster Garage, but made it a point to last night.
I really dug what seems to be something new with the flame work, that being a "glow" that you've incorporated into the process.
Again, Kudos.
So...any interest in "coming home" in June for a Panel Jam?
Lemme Know
Brian

Man that paint job was absotively, posilutely, Awesome! Matter of fact, I looked up Awesome in the dictionary, and whataya know. There was Mikes picture. Great show!

Well, I'm sorry to say we missed it. Bummer too, because I really would have liked Dave to see Mike in action, even if it was thru a tv screen.
I'm not surprised that Mike is raising such attention. He really is one of the best in my eyes, and his work deserves to be in the limelight. I don't think I've ever seen an artist so driven in their work either. I envy that kind of immersion in one's art.
Any letterhead meet with Mike Lavallee attending is a must go!
So ... any chance I could see a rerun?
Cheers Mike, and congrats to you on your broadcast, as well as your outstanding website! Nettie

I missed it at 9pm and stayed up for the re-air at 1am just to see it. Man was it worth it. Great job Mike. Great detail in the description. I agree that it was way past due. It is obvious that you really put some thought into the scheme and design of the job.

The skull was cool- I peeked at the website before I saw the show last night- I didn't notice the skull on the front of the car, til they did a close-up on TV- VERY NICE!!!
Posted by Greg McRoberts (Member # 3501) on :
Very, very cool Mike. It's about time they gave some credit in your direction.
Posted by Jim Bagaas (Member # 3808) on :
As always,Awesome work.
If my job thingie in Bellingham,Wa. goes through I'm going to drop in to see the master at work.
Posted by Mike Lavallee (Member # 320) on :

Posted by Bill Cosharek (Member # 1274) on :
Sorry, forgot to watch. But tv channel guide says it's on again at 6:00pm Friday - EST. Will try to remember this time.
Posted by Bruce Deveau (Member # 1600) on :
Hey, Mike:
The show was awesome. It was great to see you on the air...and the paint was superb. That's one of the best rides his crew has created as well.
I was at my God-son's house to watch the show...he's a big fan...so we went on the web to look at your site...I had only seen the website in my slow phone line hookup...but when I saw it through my God-son's DSL, WOW--my eyes about popped out...love the flaming arrows!
Great work!
Bruce

They usually replay the Monday night episodes on Saturday nights. Check the listings to be sure. I missed this one, but I'm sure they'll replay it a few times. Hey Mike, I thought SignCraft was going to do an article on Rhonda's chrome beveled letters? What happened with that? Her work is fantastic. Carry on.
Posted by Mike Lavallee (Member # 320) on :
