Labor Day Weekend at the Museum It has been a few years since I have shown art at the Harley Museum so when I found out Heyltje Rose was going this year I jumped on the chance to share a booth with her. Our hand crafted motorcycle goods have a tendency to compliment each other rather well and, with the added bonus of seeing her face for a week, it made the prospect of the journey irresistible. So with quite a bit of preparation I loaded up the Art mobile and drove to Milwaukee to Hustle Art during the 115th Anniversary party. A few things changed this time around. Firstly, the museum extended the hours of operation so we had to be present from 9-9. Pretty long days, which denied us the opportunity to visit friends, but at least we got to spend a lot of time together to catch up and developed some pretty stellar ideas. I would tell you about our magic brain children but sometimes the million dollar ideas needs to be kept secret. Haha...  Secondly and most imp...

The Yearly Trek to Milwaukee Bike Week, I must admit, is one of my favorite events to attend. There is nothing better than the warm familiar feeling of going home. The old architecture, welcoming midwestern people and the opportunity to visit old friends tears into my heart with the  desire to move back. I was blessed with the opportunity to share a space to show hand crafted work with my amazingly talented friend Heyltje Rose. I was delighted to spend the weekend catching up with this Long beach Artist who has been an inspiration to me as an artist. Her wonder hand tooled and hand cast accessories sold like hot cakes to all including Willie G and his beautiful wife Nancy. After slaving in the muggy outdoors by day I joined my friends Nate and Amber to throw down some  Live art at Rogues Gallery by night. It's always entertaining the questions one gets asked from a young crowd out exploring the city who don't really understand the contributing factors to the c...

"JOEY AND THE CHOPPER BOYS" PAGE 26 On this page of "Joey and the Chopper Boys" the boys are at a chopper show checking out the bikes in an amongst the motorcycle artists. 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. He has done and continues to do wonderful things for many milwaukee Artists...
