 First off, it has been a crazy year so far. Me and the Wife just had baby

#4 and time is tight. If interested in artwork, I am backed up until at least

the middle of July. I know most people don't want to put the bike down

in the middle of riding season, but this is where I am at right now. You

can put it down for 2-3 weeks in the heat and enjoy the rest of the season. 

 I'm in the middle of a really cool Frankenstein theme bike, then will be

playing catch-up on other jobs when it's done. I am also needing some

time off in between jobs, I'm starting to get burnt out and need some

time to recharge.

 For the people that email about doing full on car or truck paint jobs, I

apologize but am just not interested. They are too time consuming and it

seems like I'm constantly playing catch up on the smaller jobs I have now,

taking on anything bigger is just impossible for the near (or even far off)

future, as I see it. I am limiting it to hood murals and tailgates.

 Right now, I am at a time in my life where I do not need to take on every

job that comes along and will only be taking on things that get me

fired up to paint. For jobs that don't, I apologize, some things are more

important than money.

 The customer has to have a good idea of what they want on the bike and

good sized, clear reference material to work from. If I cannot see the

picture clearly, I cannot paint it to my satisfaction.

 Before emailing, I am also going to try and answer some of the most

common questions asked.

 Most of my artwork runs in the $1,000 to $2,000 range, this only involves

my artwork, not clearing or buffing the finished artwork when I am done. 

As far as pricing, it depends on many things. Some of the most important

things are:

 Is there any bodywork or scratch repair needed?

 Are you keeping the bike the same color? Color changes add at least

double to the amount of work and price.

 Are there any emblems or stickers that need to be removed? Emblems

that go back on are not a problem, ones that do not, are a problem.

 Stickers that are under factory clear coat can be a big problem. To

remove them can be very time consuming and can mean an entire

re-paint of the base color. This can add much to the final price. Usually,

you don't know how much time is involved it is until it's finished.  I try to

make it as quick and easy as possible, but some things are out of my control.  

 Most of the things listed above mean it has to go to the Body Shop

before I get the parts for artwork. If there is only suface prep needed

before artwork, then I will prep it and it keeps costs way down. Sometimes

I can fix small nicks or scratches that will be hidden under the artwork,

this can also keep prices down.

 I deal with one Body Shop that I trust to do bodywork, finish clear and

buffing, (occasionally I do the buffing myself, depending on the job).

If you are looking for someone to do the art and have your paint guy do

the clear, I can appreciate that, but I am not your guy for the art!  Me and

my body shop work well together, I am not going to mix it up, it's not

worth the aggrevation.

 I have worked long and hard, to feel that I can  do whatever comes along,

and do it to my satifaction. If you think that we can work together, please

contact me to get it done. I doubt I will not be the cheapest price you get

(most likely it won't be the priciest either) but the quality for price

spent will be top notch, I can tell you that. I won't take the job if I don't

think so.

 If you want me to do a custom paint job, on the entire bike, you are

looking at least $1,500  for me to do the art and have it cleared and

buffed.  

 Please take another good, long look, at the pictures on this site and

compare it to others. Also, take note of how many other sites ask you

to take a good, hard look at all the sites out there. I want you to see

everything else out there before making a choice. If you see everything

else and still want my style, we should be able to work together for

some killer artwork!

 I also want to show my own bike, and other samples in person, to show a

consistency to my artwork that can build confidence in the project.

Thanks for your interest!
