Oooh thats not the finished project is it, I didn't realize that. I took over 100 pics. I'll see if I have another pic. This one I know doesn't have the gold at the top. Sorry!

If you've never seen Timi in action you have missed a real treat, this guy is unbelievable! Go back and look at that lettering folks, that's not computer cut or generated, it comes out of his head and his brush and is as tight as it gets!!!!!!!!!!!

i saw him doin the McCalla letterin and asked him what font that was cause he had a pattern of it, thought he made it off the computer, well he took most of the letters from the campbell soup can lable, drew em and faked the the capitol M, but put em all together in the pattern. ill say this, what rod and rt are to airbrushin, timi is it with a brush! and i got a pic of his van....

If you've never "Worked" with Timi for a week or so, then you've "REALLY" missed something !!! This guy hangs by his toenails 30' off the ground, painting Harley Wings on Billboards of crossover walkway (Ray Price H-D), over the stageing lanes at Rockingham Dragway, while Rocket cars are blasting off right under his ass !! No patterns, just a small half-assed scale drawing of what it's going to look like when done, and some chalk.............Amazing stuff!! "TRUE STORY"........... (well maybe not "toenails")
Ya just gotta be able to put up with some really LOUD snorin, and his chain smokin....... , but I wouldn't have missed it for the world, and am lookin forward to doin it again soon !!
Wait till ya see the Killer Banners he's doin for my show booth at Myrtle Beach Bike Rally.......If ya act right, we might just show ya pics of em in a couple weeks when they're done...... Great work Timi...........Now git back ta werk...!!
.........cj

Great idea & excellent work! I also liked Katie's idea for a smaller version. An empty soup can with that for a label would make a great pencil-pen holder for a shop or desktop. An image 4.875"H x 8.1875"W would fit the Cambell's can I'm using now. If you don't want to mess with making stickers how about just the file so we could print, cut & paste it ourselves?
It'd be a great momento not only for those who didn't win the fridge but also those of us that weren't able to attend Duck Soup. I've really enjoyed having one of the mini-panels that Monte Jumper provided for everyone at Fred's meet in OKC & would sure like to add a Duck Soup can to collection so how about it? That is, if you can find time because with customers like CJ you've probably got yer hands full already
For some of Timi's gold leaf stuff check out the fire truck in the pix of the Melbourne Migration meet on the past events page. Also, RT contributed the 3-D eyeball for the radiator badge by cutting a ping-pong ball in half & whippin' out his trusty airbrush.
