Inside each page I have tried my best to include all those who have helped and supported me along the journey to making art a career. In the background you can see Heyltje Rose displaying and selling her amazing jewelry, bags, belts and other accessories. She has been a dear friend of mine for many years and It has been amazing sharing booths and spending long days at motorcycle shows with her. I can't wait to show work with her again at the Harley Museum Sept 3rd - 6th. This page also represents Rogues Gallery of Milwaukee, WI. Nate, the owner, offered me many opportunities to show and paint live at his gallery night club. His generosity made a huge impact on my art career with the exposure he provided.

"Joey and the Chopper Boys - Page 25" Throughout this children's book there has been many small and important details added to show my appreciation to the people I have met and who have inspired me along this journey.  On page 25, during the culminating event of the book, Joey is presented with the  "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD"!  Who better to present this award than the Legendary Jack Schit himself.  Jack can be found at motorcycle events all over the country bringing life and animation to any biker event. I am happy to have shared many good times with this man and thrilled to be able to include his presence in this children's chopper experience. "Right then, so loud the entire neighborhood could hear, the emcee blasted to the crowds that it was time to announce the "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD".  Joey remained quiet and calm as she hoped with all her might that all the work she did to her bike would be well received.
