The Brickyard Bull
A Lamborghini Gallardo Squadra Corse painted in pearls.
My latest creation is titled BRICKYARD BULL. At a glance, this artwork is a colorful car portrait of a very special 2014 Lamborghini LP-570, one of only fifty in the world and one of only fifteen in the United States.

Blow It Out
Every now and then it’s fun to create something just to create something. Art doesn’t always have to be about creating epic works. Sometimes making something is its own reward. That was the case of my new little piece, titled Blow It Out, a mixed-media artwork inspired by a friend.
