Copperhead's motorcycles

Just a few pics of some of the work i've done over the years. I started in the late 70's learning sign painting from my uncle. I learned all the basics from him and became skilled at lettering, striping, gold leaf, sandblasted signs, etc. I loved lettering boats and doing pictorial work too but i always would see airbrushed murals on vans and envied the people who did them so by the late 90's i decided that's what i wanted to do. I think the first airbrush job i ever did was on a sign for a horse farm, from there i started airbrushing on bikes and now it's a full time job which i love. I recently was awarded the 2008 Easyriders VQ Award for custom painter of the year, it was quite an honor for me. Hopefully i'll get to focus more on fine art one day but i get up every day eager to work on the next project. Who could ask for more?
