Thanks.. it's fun to paint , the Sign Business side of my work does pay the bills, even though it is all computer driven, but this is a real treat to do.

Neil, I gotta confess that hot rods and pinstriping have never captivated me too much. But the airbrush work that's a different story. What young artistic lad hasn't had airbrush dreams? I have always been fascinated by flames and especially the realistic ones. You are pretty good for a hotrod artist. Hahahaha. Real good.

Thanks! Yes Bevin I suppose Eagles are somewhat the same no matter how you look at them....Bob I also like the pinstriping as well. a different artform in itself, same as lettering, I'm fortunate to have worked in all 3... I'd love to do a little more hand lettering.. I could but I guess I'm just a little lazy for it. lol
