    I'm an artist and tinkerer. I do pen and ink, cartoons, airbrush, pinstriping, hand tooled leather, all sort of stuff. I'm into anything hot rod, motorcycle, or classic.

    Buying a 90 single cab from a friend before too long. Miss having a Yota really bad. I'm so anxious to get this thing it's keeping me up all night dreaming and scheming.

    Owned a 91 xcab a few years back. My city Police dept. was anti lowered minitrucks back then and would literally pull me over to measure me and check tire clearance, dig for an excuse to ticket me every time I drove it. So I got tired of being hassled and went back to my classic cars for a while. It was a fun ride though, miss it.

    Had an 87 Turbo 4x4 for a while also. Worst mistake I ever made letting that one go.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Currently working on my family hand-me-down 72 Chevelle and finishing up my 78 Yamaha chopper.

    Welcome. If you need help I'm down 66 in Manassas. I know your area well as my mom's side of the family is from there. Look forward to the build.

    Thanks for all the warm welcomes guys.

    Some of my artsy fartsy work.

    Random doodles and such from my high school era (late 90s)

    Some of my early paint jobs. Late 90s early 2000s. Some were rattle can jobs.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Some of my hand tooled leather. The woodpecker bursting out of the barn was a chopper seat I did for a close friend's Yamaha chopper called "the Barnstormer." That one made it into the Horse Backstreet Choppers magazine last year.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Playing with pinstripes on my Yamaha xs650 chopper a few years ago.

    A guide on flag I designed for my platoon on my first tour to Iraq 2005.

    Some shoes I played with airbrushing last month.

    Here are a few of my other toys over the years.

    My 72 Chevelle Malibu I'm currently working on. Grandpa bought it new, dad bought it from him when he graduated high school, dad passed it on to me as my high school graduation present. Runs a 71 z28 350, th350.

    Picture of my cousin and I at Burger King for my 3rd or 4th birthday around 1982. Me in the blue "Dukes" shirt and the same Chevelle in the background
    [​IMG]

    Traded that 87 Turbo 4x4 above for this 57 VW Beetle. Drove the Yota from Staunton VA to San Antonio TX, traded outright for the beetle, drove the Beetle back to VA with no brake lights or signals and no damn heat. Did this the week after my gall bladder removal surgery and in December. Very cold and painful ride, but man what a fun trip with my best friend Jon. ;) Sold this one a few years ago.
    [​IMG]

    71 Cheyenne Super and a 66 beetle project behind it. Both long gone.
    [​IMG]

    2000 Jeep XJ. Still drive this one on a regular basis. 3" lift on 31"s. This is my go anywhere get me there no matter what ride.
    [​IMG]

    For our 10 year anniversary I bought my wife a nice AR15 and she got me this 96 Springer. God I hate winter, I'm dying to ride again.
    [​IMG]

    78 Yamaha xs650 chopper. Still finishing this one up. Black pics are when I bought it. Previous owner hacked the frame job really bad and it cracked on me, lucky it didn't kill my ass. Green pics are right before I tore it down for a complete rebuild. Progress shots are Brad from Gypsy Choppers doing my frame and fab work, with me giving guidance, drinking coffee, and smoking cigarettes.
    [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I've had all sorts of crap over the years.
    About 15 different 67-72 Chevy C10 pickups in all configurations
    1953 Chevy Belair
    1977 Vega wagon drag car
    1971 AMC Gremlin drag car
    1955 Chrysler New Yorker with 331 Hemingway
    1983 Chevy K10
    1991 Nissan Hard body static slammed
    1985 Dodge D50 static slammed
    1978 Kawasaki kz400
    lots of random econobox daily drivers.

    Just can't seem to stop fooling with toys.

    Thanks, I'm planning on doing some simple classic pinstripe work. Want to stay stock, clean, and blacked out for now though.
