Cash for cars


This is a painted by hand sign and measures approx. 2'x8' and was done for a used car lot in Puyallup a couple years back.

Bicycle Business Card


I'm crazy about bicycles so I drew this up on my software. I use it like any other business card. I think it's very unique.

Mural on a motorhome


I was given a few postcards and painted this mural from the cards. I only wish the picture was sharper... nowadays I use a tripod. Handpainted with airbrush effects. As I remember this was back in the early 90's and a husband and wife hired me. The lady grew up in Maine and now, retired. She began to weep as I was finishing. She said it's just like where she played and matured.

Alaskan flag with paddles


A couple asked me to paint the tailgate on their truck with the Alaskan flag and the tribal paddles showing their relationship to each other. Airbrush, pinstriping, all in sign paint and clear coated.

No trespass alternative


I came up with this several weeks back and decided to start screen printing it and sell them around the area where I live. Cool!

Scroll work on a tank


This was really great to stripe. Really a lot of fun. You had to be there!

Tartan on a Ford


This job called for an unknown amount of layers of transparent colors. It was fairly intense but turned out perfect and the customer still loves it many years later.

Old school pinstriping


The designs sometimes take on a different style than what you see when you begin a job.

A racing cart and Harley tank


Here are a couple jobs ready to go out the door. Airbrush flame job on the cart body with pinstripe outline and a striped tank.

Happy Valentines

A friend that has a drive through coffee stand had me design a banner for the shop and here it is. I think it's fun to look at.

Happy Valentines Day!

Winter in Leavenworth


This is the by far the best picture I have taken in nature. The moment I saw it I knew I had something special to me personally. It was taken above the town while taking a hike with snowshoes. Ah, Leavenworth. You know what I'm talking about if you've been there. We share the same great memories huh. I go as often as I can year round.

Airbrush Globe in Space


This 2'x4' is great to just stare at for long periods. I wanted to see what this would look like keeping the whole thing really simple and wondered what it would feel like when finished.

Betty Boop on a Rat Rod


I was part of a group of people that built a rat rod for a guy in the area. My part was Betty Boop on the tonneau cover over the bed of the truck. This is painted by hand and limited airbrush. I did some pintriping and the name of his drive in 50's style diner on the doors. A really fun gang in Tenino!

Pinstriping! My favorite thing


This was done with sign paint and a couple striping brushes.

2 signs with 3-D effects


These were built with layers to add dimension and catch the eye at 25 mph.

A fun design job


Weekly, for a bit of time she would draw her ideal horse again and I would redsign her sign. It's the greastest when your client and now friend gets her dream come true. I think it adds something to the country lane in my neighborhood where it is installed.

A business card I designed


I was part of a business once so I came up with this and the customers seemed to like it so I put it here for you to look at. I changed a couple things to publish it here.

Following a duck hunter one day.


I was behind a truck one day and saw a bumper sticker about duck hunting. I suddenly "saw" in my minds eye what you see here. I left it on my truck for about 2-3 weeks and got bored, stripped it and then striped it. Hand painted and 3d airbrush Daffy.

100 mile an hour flames





This is an example of my airbrush flame design with pinstripe outline on the hood of my truck. I thought a long time about how I might do something original. The people on the pinstripers site I belong to got a kick out of it. Hope you enjoy it!
