    I just got the picture from Tom Fritz of a cool painting he did with my coupe. The setting is Rolling though the Desert with a 57 chevy police car behind me with the lights on. The photo of it doesn't do it justice. He does some sweet work

    I didn't buy it or have it done for myself. He owns the original and he will start making prints of it.
    He wanted to do a painting with my car. We started putting ideas together.. We came up with this idea.. He wanted it to be different from the rest of the police paintings. He is really into the details of the car. . like how the light comes through the ribs of the tires

    I'm really excited about it
     
  12. I had to bookmark his site.
    Too cool for words.

    Tom's stuff is the bomb! That's so cool, and your rod too.KK

    What's so bitchen about his process is that he paints on Wet & Dry 600 grit sand paper, instead of canvass.KK

    SAVAGE, that is the best Hot Rod painting I have ever seen. I'd like to get a print of that when they're available.

    Tom's work is amazing. I love the cop's headlights lighting up the cab in the coupe, and the light shining through the drilled axle.
     
  20. Tom Fritz is an amazing artist and that is a great painting.

    One of a very few Hot Rod Fine Artists. Kills me the way he uses the effects of light and atmospheric conditions (dust, dirt, mist) to drive a theme home. He knows color as well.

    He actually wanted to use rickys coupe in it. But he figured he would be retired by the time Rickys car is on the road..
