Thanks Aaron,
I met Tom at SEMA when he first started painting dragsters and was able to talk with him for a while. I had always admired his hot rod images and simply love the digger stuff.

RAD.....and I thought he only did "older" subject matter.

Been awhile Aaron......how's your projects coming along????

 

I have heard that Tom paints at the shows. I would really like to see him at work.

I can't believe how cool just the sketch is!!!

I have been a fan of his work. I never understood how huge the process is to do it. Making sure all the details of the car are perfect.

Not only just copying a photo and making it into a painting.. It takes a real vision.

I am glad its payday.. Because I think I am gonna have to order a print.. I have waited too long..

 

My stuff is coming along slowly.. My 49 merc is all painted. all the trim is polised.. Just trying to find someone to do interior up to my standards.. finish ***embly and polish

the 34 is getting the brake lines run and wiring. The engine and rear end freshened up. Its looking Crazy.. I have to get some photos together of it.

My model A coupe is just sitting. I am waiting till the 34 is running to blow it apart and rework it!!!

I don't have a shop to work in right now. Except when I fly down to So cal and work on the weekends..

My pickup has been my daily drive up here since I moved.. I am living in Los Gatos now working for apple in cupertino. Its been cool.. People Freak out when they see it.. You don't see hot rods around here like you do in SO CAl..

 

Rework the A coupe?!......That ****er's BAD as it is...hahaha!

Weren't ya doing a roadster too?

Look forward to see pics when ya get a chance.

 

His stuff is the CATS *** my favorite being the Roadster on the salt ***led "Hammering It Out"
