Painhuffer Metalflake Art Night Live

The Painthuffer Metalflake Art Night Live last Saturday was an unforgettable and exhilarating experience that truly rocked the house and filled every corner with excitement! It has been quite a while since I last dropped in on a brush bash event. During this remarkable evening, I almost forgot how much I genuinely enjoyed the excellent company of a few incredibly talented airbrush friends with whom I had the pleasure of connecting and reconnecting.

Gilbert Cars & Coffee, Gilbert, AZ

After enjoying a few hours at Highline Cars and Coffee on the far side of town, I decided to trek a few miles south for the Gilbert Cars & Coffee, which I hadn’t been to since early November. While I arrived a bit late for the full crowd, vehicles of every design were on hand at the Cold Beer & Cheeseburgers (aka CBCB), formerly the Famous 66 American Tavern at 1026 S. Gilbert Rd. in Gilbert, AZ.
