Happy Birthday, Elvis
During my Hollywood Video years, one of my favorite subjects to paint was Elvis. I painted several large Elvis murals in the Hollywood Video stores, mostly throughout the Northwest – Portland, and Seattle. Few still exist.

2015
It was an eventful year for sure. And a good year, too. All-in-all though, I’m especially excited for the forthcoming year. 2016 is going to be amazing. But, before I get ahead of myself, I need to wrap up my semi-annual quasi-year-end summary blog.

Motor Trend Auto Show
Like previous years, I enjoyed most of my time at the Motor Trend Auto Show hanging with the beautiful ladies. Yes, I’m talking about the Lamborghini “ladies” – of the Aventador and Huracan variety. And of all those feisty ladies, these are among my favorites. Of course, what I refer to as the ladies, most simply call the BULLS. Semantics, I say.
