Check out my other blog, I update that one!

Like anyone else, there was a learning curve and I wound up with two separate blogs, oopsy. This one has a lot of subscribers, so if you'd all plase head over to my Julie Fournier's Art blog, that's the blog that I am writing and posting in these days.

Train at The Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, MI

Where to start? Winters have usually been my rest period since I usually don't get a lot of work then. There aren't any art fairs, or car shows, not a lot of weddings, it's just basically an historically slow period for me. Not this winter! I was asked to do some restoration lettering and striping at The Henry Ford Museum at Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan on a tender tank that used to be owned by Henry Ford. What's a tender tank you ask? I didn't know what one was, either, until it was explained to me. It's the train car right behind the locomotive that holds water. In this case, 18,000 gallons of water. Apparently Henry Ford used to like to drive a real, full sized train around for fun. Now it's at the museum and after ten years of restoration work, it was ready to have the finishing touches put on it. I was lucky enough to have been in the right place at the right time, as well as having the necessary skills, to be asked to do this incredible job:...

Rumbleville in Flint

Lots of shows this month: Billetproof, Sins of Steel, then Rumbleville in Flint. I'm good and warm for striping all summer now! The weather was perfect at all three shows, I saw lots of old friends, and of course, made new ones. I pinstriped this tiki on the hood of a Falcon, and then it won best in it's class at Billetproof, and two weeks later it won another award at Sins of Steel! Wow! It was a beautiful car, I'm just glad I could add a few lines to such a prize! The paint was such a pretty blue, and flawless, and when I was asked to pinstripe the back of a bike at Rumbleville that was the same color, my heart fluttered a little bit remembering how fun it was to do the Falcon two weeks before. Anyway, here's a few new pictures, enjoy!
