    -1st photo is all his artwork prints that he sells
    -2nd photo is custom artwork he has drawn of customer's rides
    -3rd photo is more customer rides plus the original final drawing tissues he uses before he makes the paintings, and a few Krass and Bernie sets
    -4th photo is more customer rides, tissues, some magazine stuff, posters, etc.
    -5th photo is all Krass and Bernie sets (original pencil sketches, original tissues, and original large size finished pages) and a portfolio filled with 100's more Krass and Bernies and other artwork.
    -6th photo is custom chaulk on black drawing
    -7th photo is a custom birth announcement for my first son
    -8th photo is a custom birth announcement for my second son

    Cool stuff, I have always loved Trosley's unique take on automotive art. You can recognize a Troz drawing from a hundred feet away.

    You might even have a picture of my car in the customer art pictures. My wife surprised me with a color drawing of mine for christmas two years ago. hangs in my living room now & a copy on the wall of the garage.

    :eek: :eek: :eek: What an awesome collection! That's cool.

    A long time fan of his work, I finally bought a print from Trosley last year; the old rod in the garage with the dude peeking at it through the window... autographed. I'm about ready to have him do up a custom one for me. :cool:

    GT is just great; i think one of the car companies that has balls/ovaries should hire him to do the styling.

    2) i've learned quite a lot about cars from just reading K+B.

    a) But how does he address the fact that these are two adult males still living together after all these years? It's got to be at least 30 years.

    Well, Krass and Bernie were started in 1975 and were patterned after George (Bernie) and his brother Harold (Krass). The newer episodes in Car Craft are still drawn as if the guys are stuck in the 70's. They haven't aged, they still wear the same clothes, and work on the same era cars.

  14. Holy Sh!t that a bunch of cool Trosley art, Trosley's one Thee Inland Emperors favorite artist. In fact one of our club members, John (Jade Idol) loves Trosley art so much that had him draw up version of our club logo a couple of years back.​

  21. The "Tros" lives approx 1/2 hour from me--we see each other at car shows. He is a down to earth guy.

    He is a talented man for sure.

  26. I met George at the Kahunaville car show a few years back. He walked up to me and asked if that was my 40 (it was). He told me he loved the flames on it. I thought "well...... I must be doing something right!:)
