BESPOKE ART & DESIGN
It feels like just yesterday that I poured my heart into my colorful motorcycle artwork, AMERICA. Time really flies, doesn’t it? I whipped up AMERICA, a stunning piece that measures 48″ x 60″, back in 2016 as a heartfelt commission for an amazing collector in the beautiful landscapes of the Northwest. This artwork isn’t just a painting; it’s a tribute to the iconic Captain America chopper from the beloved 1969 movie Easy Rider.
AN INDIAN SUMMER 25 YEAR FLASHBACK // This time, about this time of year, 20 years ago, I was excited about the forthcoming Airbrush Action magazine, featuring my latest motorcycle artwork at the time, INDIAN SUMMER.
Portland • Las Cruces • Bowling Green — I am incredibly excited to share that this weekend, for the very first time ever in my artistic journey, my art is featured at three distinct and captivating exhibits, each taking place at different and unique venues across the United States. This incredible opportunity not only showcases my work in a way that I have long dreamed of but also allows me to connect with diverse audiences and fellow art enthusiasts in a deeply meaningful way.
It’s almost hard to believe that the LUSTER Exhibit at the National Corvette Museum is coming to a close, with only a month left to catch it live.
Over the past few years, I’ve inadvertently created a collection of artworks that has fondly become my America First Series. It’s a small series of epic paintings of America’s Sports Car and American iron – aka Haley-Davidson and Indian motorcycle. Several of my America First creations include an American flag as part of the prevailing theme.
One of the big questions that often arises from collectors and museum docents is, “What is the difference between realism and hyperrealism art vs. photorealism art?” I love that question because it involves distinct differences, often blurred and blended.
I’ve just updated the Car & Motorcycle Artwork Gallery on this website and all its connecting artworks. The completion and addition of CREATION and EVOLUTION (my recent 4 ft. x 10 ft. Corvette diptych, aka MOMENTUM) brings my fuel-passioned works to an even dozen, a collection of four epic sports car paintings and eight motorcycle portraits.

The NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM shared some fantastic pictures of their new gallery, which showcases the LUSTER exhibit, and I could not resist sharing them with you. Beautifully shot just before the gala and exhibit premier, these pictures celebrate the beautiful art and cars adoring the museum through 2024.
For 2024, the exhibit opens at the National Corvette Museum to the public on March 15 and will remain there through the end of the year. MOMENTUM, created special for exhibit features two epic paintings, CREATION and EVOLUTION, celebrating Corvette’s 70th anniversary as America’s Sports Car.
The LUSTER Exhibition, hosted by the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts has been extended at the Blue Buffalo Art Gallery through February 14, 2024 with an impressive showing of automotive and motorcycle artworks.
LUSTER: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile and Motorcycle Paintings is a traveling exhibition comprising over 55 paintings by nearly 15 leading photorealists and hyperrealists specializing in automobiles and motorcycles as their primary subject of choice.
