Working at home

I love my job! I woke up early to get some work done before it got to hot. Today's jobs were a cooler and two signs. Enjoy the pictures! I'm sure glad I got it in early, because my thermometer is reading 100F! whew! I'm hiding in my air conditioned bedroom for a few hours where it's nice and cool and I can tweak my web page. Always working, LOL! ;)

Downriver Cruise

The cruise today was actually a cruise! Cars were moving! It was quite a change of pace from the slow moving traffic of the Woodward Dream Cruise! Many nice cars to look at, some parked, too. I pinstriped a friend's cooler, not much else, so around 6 I went to the Shell gas station on Woodward and picked up a small striping job, "Big Piston Racing" and a piston graphic, which made the truck owner happy! I may have lined up another job - hopefully the cadillac owner with the cool flames and unstriped scallops calls me, that will be a really fun job for me. That car is so long I'm only going to be able to put 2/3rds of it in my garage! wow! Very exciting day, I'm completely worn out, but I'll be ready for another show tomorrow, at 16 1/2 Mile Road and Van Dyke.

Motorcycles, Hot Rods and Iphones

At the suggestion of someone I met at the Downriver Cruise I drove an hour out to Milford to try and find a bike show at someplace called "the Grind". I never did find it, but I did find a weekly bike show at 59 West off M-59 where I pinstriped a Harley Davidson- I did some lettering, Ivory with a red drop shadow that said, in a "back in the day kind of script", "Harley Davidson". The owner of the black motorcycle was very happy with my work, and I think some of the other guys there will be calling me soon. What a great bunch of guys, they were all very polite and kind. One of them is having a big biker party this Saturday and he invited me out to pinstripe at it, how cool is that! I'm very excited. This morning I'm going to the Park Collision shop here in Hazel Park, MI, to pinstripe a freshly painted car, I'm pretty eager to do it, even though it's a long line (which are really hard to do). Keeping my brush even with pressure and h...

Sins of Steel Saturday June 5, 2010

Thinking I could get up early Saturday morning to leave for the show, and not have to much to do, I set my alarm for 5:30 am, packed up some tiki glasses that I'd hand painted, and some prints (of my paintings), mostly ones of cars & pinup girls, and then went to bed (around 12am on Friday night- technically Saturday, just barely, lol). In the morning the alarm went off, I got up, showered, ate and realized I still had a lot to do - put the tent, prints, glasses, and a lot of other stuff for the show in the car, wire a print I was trying to sell, pack a cooler, etc. I didn't leave until 7! I was hoping to be out of here by 6:30 so I could get there by 7:30 and unload but luckily it didn't take as long as I thought to get there, and I made it in plenty of time to unload and park nearby, which came in handy later in the day when some friends blew a tire in the blow out contest and needed a jack, which I just so happened to have in my car. That was one of the things I ...
