Illustration Friday: Sacrifice
I ripped my heart out...for you.Drawn in illustrator & I added a cloud photo background.

Cute Skullies
I illustrated these 4 cute skulls this morning. The background is from a rusted old broken heater from my garage. We replaced the heater this winter but I haven't thrown the old one away yet. The fact is, I can't bear to discard it because I think the rust is beautiful. It makes a wonderful background! These will be available at RetroFire Design on some 1" buttons I'm designing soon.

A Double Dose of Kustom Kulture
I spent my last two Saturdays indulging in a visual feast of kustom kulture. July 1 I was at the Goodguys Heartland Nationals at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. It was packed with an overwelming 2500+ cars, trucks, and a few motorcycles, all older than 1972. Despite the many candy colored hot rods and custom cars, I was particularly attracted to rat rods adorned in black primer, flames, pinstriping, and rust. More Goodguys photos>

Primer, flames and skulls, yeah! More Goodguys photos>

Then July 8 we drove to Omaha for their first annual Live Fast Kustom Kulture Show. Lots more rat rods! More Live Fast photos>
