I recently airbrushed this bike for a friend here in Austin, he wanted a bike themed after "The Live Music Capital of the World"

Thanks everyone, when I was a kid I loved all of the cool paint jobs at the drags, my dad asked the racers how they did them and they told him airbrush, so he went and bought me one. That was 30 years ago, but I've always kept it as a sideline gig, never had the guts to try and earn a living doing it.......

Other than the fact that the nearest dragstrip is sixty miles away, Austin is the greatest. Same weekend as Houston we've got the Lone Star Roundup; an event that will one day rank among Hot Ausgust Nights and Woodward Avenue.
Hey Nancy- Congrats on the front page coverage, especially when our local paper doesn't even care about Nascar, much less Drag Racing.

Nancy, we're around the same age and we got into racing the same way with another racer getting us hooked in the pits. I share the same memories you do. Lots of luck to you this year.

Hey Rich, Cool!!!
The registration for the paper is really simple and free, basically a first name and email is all they want, it took me about 10 seconds, and then you can enlarge the picture.
It was really windy and off & on rain while we were in the front yard.
The photographer was worried that we'd use the picture for other press and such, but I assured her that there's no motor and I'm looking down at the camera, not exactly the ideal shot for promotion - but Great for this article -- LOL
